Jeff686 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Arrange no-shoot arrays so that they appear directly behind only three of the six plates from either Box A or Box B. Edited April 30, 2008 by Jeff686 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidball Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 No-shoots are OK but . . . 4.3.1.4 Various sizes of metal plates may be used, however, metal plates must not be used exclusively in a course of fire. At least one authorized paper target or Popper must be included in each course of fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff686 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 What is the procedure? Oh, sorry. Start in Box A or Box B. Shoot plates from Box A or Box B. The idea being that it tempts people to shoot all the steel from one box, saving time but risking hitting the no-shoots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidball Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 You may have to either increase the distance to target, reduce the distance between boxes, or both. I like the conundrum you are trying to create, but, as the stage is currently designed, I don't see too many people moving between boxes. The shots are too easy at 26' and the distance too far between boxes at 21' feet to bother moving, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting the right angles and distances may be a trial and error thing. I can work out the angles in google sketch. Anyone want to suggest the distances to use? Maybe I'll set it up at a practice session and use myself as a guinea pig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
open17 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Set a paper target at ground level, centered below the plate rack. Put a couple of no shoots in front of the paper far enough that you can't see the paper from either box, only see it when pretty much right in front of it. Stage procedure: Engage steel from within either box, paper as visible. That forces the shooter to make the move from box to box, and also kicks up the disaster factor while engaging the paper on the run from box to box. There's a reason they call me Evil Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I must say your stages are quite the challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
