Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Everybody has a different par time they strive to meet, and it gets shorter as they improve. The real answer for you is probably something like - half a second faster than the pard you are trying to beat. Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil dogooder Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I'm not up to duece or smokestacks speed. Fast for me is around a 16 sec average. While I can dip into the 12s from time to time I can't do it often I does depend on the stage a lot. We have a couple bays that are 80' across and most times we use it all. I'm happy with under 17 on those. On a standard 3 position 25' stage I'm happy with the 16 average One club near by likes minimal movement. Like at most two steps between positions. At that club I'm frustrated when it's not sub 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 my goal was 360 seconds for a 6 stage match now I can do 6 stages in 300 seconds most of the time; if you figure that's 24 targets per stage then just over 2 seconds per shot and I'm a happy camper cheyenne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 There are a lot of variables as well. One being which match are you talking about? I shoot at five different clubs throughout the year. A couple of them the fast shooters are under 15 seconds. A couple more and the fast shooters are in the sub 20 second range. And one club I shoot at getting under 30 seconds for a typical stage is where the best hand out. Usually around 25 or less, but that club has a ton of down range movement often times with 6 shotgun targets and/or poppers. Poppers certainly slow you down.

LAST CHANCE Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 depends on the match and stages. I've shot matches that run from 10-15 seconds a stage is norm(top shooters)(most targets peeing distance). Up here around home stages are around 14-18 seconds and pistol targets are 5-12 paces, rifle targets 15+ paces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 My goal for most (modern day setup) matches is to average sub 20. I have found my knee injury and the lack of shooting that has come with that injury has added about 2-3 seconds to my times. But as others have mentioned, sequences, target sizes and distances, # of movements/ distances and transitions can change all the parameters. Could I average sub 20's at Winter Range? No. Would I strive for it? Of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Bascomb, SASS # 47,494 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Einstein's answer to the question was that it's all relative........ I'm happy to have fun and not do anything foolish. Looking over some of the match results from when my wife and I began, we see our gradual improvement. Now the trick is to try to acquire or maintain skills ahead of physical deterioration and health challenges..... Is physical training more valuable than range practice? For now, a good match is staying in low 20's. An occasional dip into the high teens is for me, like the snail riding on the turtle's back, exhiliarating!

Kirk James Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Looking at the results of EOT and Winter Range, there are approximately 15 shooters in the world who can shoot 3 or 4 , 14 second stages, or lower at World or National Competitions. Some can shoot many more than 3 or 4. These shooters hit every target and are amazingly fast. The best of the best. It will be interesting to see what happens without rank pts. I think many of these shooters will be taking the governors off there shooting now that we are total time, and the times in world and national will go down even further. The question should be: how low do you think they can go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
