Grizzly Dave Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 5 targets, those numbers are rounds per target, if you must have it spelled out .1.2.2.3.3.3.3.4.4.5 second question, a 5 round nevada sweep on 3 targets starting in the middle, I've seen it called a Blackjack Sweep, but also a Pea Patch sweep, which if either is more widely used?

Marauder SASS #13056 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'm sorta tied of all the named sweeps. Duplicate names, too many to remember, just tell us how you want it shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twelve mile REB Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I needed to have it spelled out as well; I guess Rye and I are just some of the more dim witted cowboys. Second dumb answer two five round Nevada sweeps starting in the middle is also called a Dixie Sweep as well as the previously mentioned. The same names have been used for the sweep when it was continuous as well. I don't know what you would call it if you were splitting pistols as you indicated in your post, "a five round Nevada sweep". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Valid points all for sure. I tend to think of some sweeps in term of rounds per target hence the 1.2.4.2.1 description. I know some think in terms of target order for everything. I kinda enjoy the names but it does get tiresome when the same thing is called multiple names depending where you are.

Pat Riot Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Like Rye and 12 Mile Reb I see the numbers as the target identification. And, like Marauder, I get tired of the named sweeps. Especially when instructions for the stage are given by the name of the sweep and no other details. Actually, I believe it was Rye that posted a link for all the named sweeps when I asked one time. I was surprised at how many had 2 or 3 names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 The reason I asked is that I am working on a video project where a name for sweeps would better fit my format. Here is a sample of how I'm putting it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 We shot that sweep last week for the first time and also had a 1,5,2,2,4,4,3,3,3,3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The 1-2-4-2-1 sweep on 5 targets is a "death valley" sweep when targets are set in a V shape vertically. ie x.........x. Either upper row target 1x ..x....x Then the corresponding middle row target 2x .....x Then the lowest row target 4x then the other (unused) middle row target 2x then the other (unused) upper row target 1x It is a "pikes peak" sweep when the targets are set in an upside down V shape vertically. Set level, it is simply a 1-2-4-2-1 sweep or a palindrome. Can also be shot with the same names using only three targets, by simply returning across the already used targets with duplicate round counts. And a Nevada sweep beginning on the center? It's called a Nevada sweep, beginning on the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Whiskers Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Ok...5 targets, 10 rounds. What's the name for 123 234 345 3. I called it the 3peat follies. I was worried it would or might draw a P, but no one had a problem with it, and they all said it was fun, but you have to think a bit when shooting it with pistols. 1st round out of 2nd pistol goes on target 4. I don't think I would use it at a big match but for winter make em' up as you go shoots it went ok.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always heard of that referred to as a "Desperado Sweep"... I like the concept of what you are trying to do; providing folks with a visual understanding of a sweep. I tried something similar a while back, prior to "JED iTV", take a look here: I like that you've added the shot sound and ringing target. Well done!

Lone Dog, SASS #20401 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Grizz, it should be the Abomination Sweep as double taps are a bother, triple taps unnecessary and quadruple taps are an abomination... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Jack Hammer Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I personally refer to all sweeps as "huh, what?" Sweeps. It helps me to keep them all straight by not ever being able to remember them from one shoot to the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Dick, SASS #12880 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Mean Gun Mark invented the Mean Gun Sweep last year. As I recall it was 1 on 1, 3 on 2, 2 on 3 and 4 on 4. It's what happens when a progressive sweep goes horribly wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I was at a firearms safety meeting the other day and heard a target sequence called "Suppertable". No one gets seconds till everyone has had firsts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Trail Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm relatively new to this game, late 2014 start. It seems that there are only a few 'sweeps' that are consistent in their naming from region to region and even within a region, can vary club to club. Nevada sweep and Lawrence Welk seem to be consistent. After that it seems all bets are off as to naming. I've tired of trying to memorize the pattern with a name since the name can vary so widely depending on where one is shooting. From here on I just try to memorize the pattern from the stage description and hope I'm not the first shooter so I can watch a couple folks ahead of me to really help it seat in my brain. Sometimes it seems like the sweep names are following some sort of Starbucks naming convention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
