Lethal Larry, SASS #58429 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 We The Texas Ten Horns in North Central Texas, shot a stage we have shot before from time to time but none of us could recall what the sweep is called. It is: 1,1-2,1-2-3,1-2-3-4. I checked A Glossary of Sweeps Compiled by Crooked River Bob SASS#26199 but did not see this sweep listed, unless I overlooked it. Thanks. Happy Halloween!

Lethal Larry, SASS #58429 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Badger Sweep It may well be known by either of these names at some clubs but that site I referred to earlier shows a different pattern for both Badger and Progressive sweeps. I know many stages have more than one name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauder SASS #13056 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I've known it as the progressive sweep but since I hate naming most sweeps prefer to have them always spelled out. I've seen too much confusion between the Lawrence Welk, the Progressive and the IRS sweeps. It has been a "good" source for Procedure penalties.

Buck D. Law, SASS #62183 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 It should be named "Give 'em a P Sweep." I've seen more people get a P on this sweep I think than any other. I've heard it called both a Progressive Sweep and a Badger Sweep. After a very carefully conducted scientific study, it was found that calling it a Badger Sweep caused more P's. If you call it a Reverse Badger Sweep and shoot it correctly, it should be a 10 second bonus. Buck D. Law (gunfighter whose never P'd on it, but who puts it in his head by thinking of it in three separate number groups like this): 1,1,2.........1,2,3........1,2,3,4 as opposed to thinking of it in four groups: 1..........1,2.......1,2,3........1,2,3,4.

Cash Duckett Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I'm with Jack Houston on this one. I think a progressive sweep is 1 on 1, 2 in 2, 3 on 3 and 4 on 4. Your sweep has 20 shots. Rifle and pistols I guess? Cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rance - SASS # 54090 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Around these parts it's called the Badger Sweep... We always start with #1 being on the left.. Around these parts a reverse Badger Sweep would start on the right I reckon... With 2 pistols... pretty quick and simple.. First pistol... 1-1-2-1-2 second pistol 3-1-2-3-4 easy huh? There's only 10 pistol shots and if ya want.. ya can make it a rifle Badger sweep with 10 rounds also.. Rance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Houston # 35508 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 What makes me laugh is when the stage instructions say Shoot each target at least once, there's alot of ways people do that! We sometimes have a stage with 3 Really Big Buffalo's and you have 8 rifle, 10 pistol and 3 shotgun's to put 7 shots on each. Figure that out!!!

Gunslinger SASS 10706 Life Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Jack, that is easy...dump 5 rounds from each pistol on the 1st two targets. Then double tap each of the same targets with the 1st four rounds from the rifle. That is seven rounds on the 1st two targets, done with them. Put the remaning 4 rounds from the rifle on the last target and then the 3 rounds from the shotgun. That is 7 rounds on the last target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Sloe Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I know it as a Progressive, but I like the "Give em a P" idea since since that's what I got at Bordertown a few days ago on this very sweep. Lotsa names for the same sweeps. Take care, Barry Sloe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fillmore Coffins, SASS #7884 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 We used the same sequence at CVR last weekend. I called it a Badger Sweep for lack of a better term. The important thing is to write and demonstrate the shot sequence, R1, R1-R2, R1-R2-R3 and so. This is usually met by, "Oh, I get it now...". We had a shooter from Canada who liked it so much that he's gonna take it home and call it The Chorro Valley Sweep. Fillmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Rick, SASS #49739L Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 That's the sweep that cost me the Gourd! PRGF - you get a P every time you start with 3 on the first target, then loose track and get a miss when you re-draw and fire that last bullet into the turf. What it gets you is 2nd place by 7 sec!
