[spanky]

Comments, questions and critiques are appreciated.

Throttle is mean but I like it
Heck they all look good to me.

 

[spanky]

For what its worth, I fully admit that I suck at picking stage names.

 

[scooterj]

Let Daniel name 'em, you just keep drawing.

 

[nickatnite]

What software/program are you using?

I like the chair also. We could actually take that one and have the competitor sitting facing the targets at all times but with a cell phone in his weak hand and engage ALL targets strong hand only.


Call it, "Can you hear me now"???

 

[nickatnite]

Ok...

Here ya go, call it "What tha?"
Standing at table, with your back turned to the targets. The weapon is empty with 1st mag on table.

At buzzer, shooter then turns to face targets, loads weapon, engages 3 pepper poppers and 2 round plates, reloads and engages T1 - T5 with 2 shots strong hand only.

He then transitions to stage 2, reloads, engages targets T6 - T-13 and PP1, PP2. The last 3 peppers are positioned tallest to smallest and center target T-14 is last shot.

What he said. I've seen other FREE stage drawing programs but the one your'e using looks great.

The stages look great I love a alot of trigger time.

1st, all the things in bold above are not legal in a comstock stage. Reloads and order of engagement cannot be mandated. Once "strong hand only" is specified, the rest of the course must be shot that way.

The layout of the stage would need to be rearranged. As it is drawn, shooters would be forced to break the "180 Rule".

This being said, it could be worked into a good stage.

Just noticed that you have this as "Virginia count", the steel and multiple positions make this a no-no

great job spanky

With that program, it's weird to draw everything and show how I was trying to set it up. When you are looking at it from that angle, it just doesn;t show as well as the other program. We DEFINITELY would not be breaking the 180 rule.

I gotcha on the comstock and Virginia now. I got a copy of what Spanky is using and I'll see if I can draw it out better. I've got some other courses in mind also.

Doing very well dude. You and I need to sit down with my big daddy course book so you can get a handle on what's legal and not allowed. Intentions are great, courses show creativity and good ideas, looks like you're well on your way. Maybe folks will think you're more devious/evil than me soon enough.

Ok,
I went back to the program on how I know to use best, Power Point and modified that 1st course I posted.

When moving to box # 2, the barrels are NOT at the 180 degree, but you will have to work to get those good shots just to the left and right of the center.

I've also renamed it "Shake and Bake". I guarantee that you COULD be fuming at this lay out! The shooter would still start with empty gun laying on the table. I also added 3 targets in front of the table that would be sitting at a 45 deg on top of the ground!

 

[spanky]

I don't think you can specify mandatory engagement locations in a long course.

 

[dmh]

You and Jeremy are doing really well. The only snag is the way the P.Point one looks you would have to explain it to the setup crew. I use a different version that works well for me but the 3D has some advantages. May need to step up and learn to use that one, unless we get some new guys with a lot of drive that are willing to take on some officer slots in the club! Maybe then I could learn to relax, but I doubt it.

 

[nickatnite]

Here ya go..

"I see Poppers"

Go through the door, engage targets and then move along the wall

It's gonna be a slow night here at work, so I will be in full learn mode on the program Spanky sent to me. I should have it learned by the morning...

Keep it up Nick, this one only needs a couple tweeks but pretty good. Print them out and bring to the next match and one of us can give you a few pointers. It takes a while to know makes a legal stage or not.
