Chief Rick Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Maybe you like four targets with a Nevada sweep or a progressive sweep... 10 targets with one round each or five targets with two rounds each in any order... Two targets with five round dumps? Split pistols? What do you like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokestack SASS#87384 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 2-1-2 is probably my favorite sweep with the pistols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I'm kind of fond of the Creeker sweep. Tho, it is possible that I'm biased. For the uninitiated; the Creeker sweep... Five targets in a row parallel to the firing line. Better if the middle target differs from the rest as well. (can also be done using only three targets) Double tap the center target Single tap - outside Single tap - other outside Double tap the center target Single tap - inside Single tap - other inside Double tap the center target.

Blackey Cole Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 No favorites do have some that I don't care for mainly the ones where you have to think and remember the order or ones that are gun manipulation tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I like that 'Creeker' sweep. Don't think I've ever shot that one. My favorite is: 5 targets, engage each target TWICE (no double taps) As a GF, I go: 3-4-2-5-1-3-2-4-1-5 I like splitting my pistols on sequences like that. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I like variety. I do not like dump targets: novices have a hard time understanding the dump trap of a wandering point of impact, and the top shooters usually shoot these in unreal times. For me, targets at different heights are more challengiing than the type of sweep. The challenge keeps the shoot from being boring, but it can also lead to misses.

Warden Callaway Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Shooting gunfighter, I don't like split pistol. I shoot them double duelist. The easiest is double tap sweep. The typical sweeps don't give me much of a problem but some of the convoluted orders are challenging to shoot gunfighter. I've got through most of them without a P.

Amarillo Rattler Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Snake Pit Sweep! 5 targets, set with three in a row with #4 on top of #2 and #5 below #2. (I drew the target set but the posted image was wrong). Sequence is left to right, top to bottom, right to left, last shot on center. Tends to slow the ultra fast shooters down a little with changes of direction and tends to favor BP shooters since smoke rises on top to bottom segment. However, I haven't been able to get a Match Director to use it yet. Just sayin' Amarillo Rattler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Howdy Blastmaster. YEP, if the reversed sequence was mandated, it would mess me up a little, no doubt about it. Matter of fact, it could very well mess up quite a few folks. Just my opin. p.s. - I would be thinking that the stage writer don't like me..... ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Clayton Conagher #43872 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I have a new favorite designed by one of our shooters called the Shady Sweep. 5 targets on a plate rack in the shape of an upside down V. Start on the bottom left 1-2-1-2-3 bottom right 5-4-5-4-3. When explained. One, two, cha-cha-cha. Five, four, cha-cha-cha with Miss Shady wiggling her hips with each cha-cha-cha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I like them all as long as I can keep track of what I'm doing. I seem to often do well with a Lawrence Welk sweep. I like what I call the Grizzly Dave sweep - 5 targets, double tap the middle target, single tap the targets on either side in any order, double tap the middle, single tap the targets on the other side in any order, double tap the middle target. PoP used this sweep last year though called it something else, they used a large center target that was used for both pistols and rifle. Rifle was first, no problem, then on pistols I went to town, but instead of using the closer pistol side targets I shot at the rifle targets, and dang if I didn't hit most of them! Whole posse got a good laugh out of that. I also like a 4 target Nevada sweep double tapping the outside targets - 1.1.2.3.4.4.3.2.1.1 Also like a Badger Sweep 1.2.3.4.1.2.3.1.2.1 or the reverse Badger 1.1.2.1.2.3.1.2.3.4 May seem confusing but basically 4 sweeps with one less (or more) target on each successive sweep.

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Yeah Last year somebody on the Wire invented a sweep and named it after me. Except now I can't remember what it was. That someone was me. Imagine 10 rifle targets. You are standing in the middle of the shooting bay, Targets 1-5 of the targets are off to your left. Targets 6-10 are off to your right. You engage them in the following order... 1-10-2-9-3-8-4-7-5-6 I saw Driftwood do with one when the stage was written as engage all 10 rifle targets one time each in any order. Driftwood shoots black powder, and doing this swing allowed for some of the smoke to clear. Ever since I saw him do it, I thought it was really cool, and even tried it myself. It's fun. I call it the Driftwood Johnson Sweep. Hope to see it in some scenarios this summer here in New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are two targets and the scenario is 5 on one and 5 on the other any order, I will always shoot it left right left right for ten.

Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 As a double duelist, I think I prefer a simple three target "Nevada" sweep" (1-2-3-2-1) starting on either end with each pistol. If I have my rather, I would normally choose right gun to start on right end, left gun to start on left end. It is my belief that duelist, well at least some of us older ones, can shoot single target sweeps faster than a dump, including doubles, IF targets are fairly close in line.
