McCandless Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 I'm just practicing this in the back yard, and wondered if this would be a viable shooting pattern for a match, or if it's too complicated. My idea was to give me a bit of practice shooting near and far, and to make myself think a little. The purpose is not to slow shooters down. I hate that concept. R/P2 R/P3 R/P4 R/P5 R/P1 Table Sequence is: with rifle - R/P1 - R/P3 - R/P4 - R/P5, R/P2 - R/P3 - R/P4, R/P2 - R/P3 - R/P 1. Either direction. Repeat with Pistol. Thoughts?
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Alot of our older folks at my club would not be able to remember the sequence. I would not write this for our monthly shoot I would write something different for this target array Like shoot the front target, double-tap sweep the back 4 targets, shoot the front target again --Dawg
irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 10 second bonus for shooting it without getting a "P"? Ike

Some of the stuff I set up for myself isn't always match material. Appreciate it Duc
Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Am I missing a needed complexity? 10 shots, near and far Seems the easy way to do this is. ..............R P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 R, P1, R, P2, R, P3, R, P4, R, P5 Repeat with pistols
Keystone, SASS # 47578 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Instead of designating every shot, start with middle target (R/P1), then inside targets (3/4 or 4/3), then outside targets (2/5 or 5/2). Then inside targets (3/4 or 4/3), followed by outside targets (2/5 or 5/2) and ending with middle target (R/P1). In other words; middle, inside, inside, outside, outside, then inside, inside, outside, outside, middle.
Shooting Bull Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Here's another option: 1,2,3,4,1 - 1,5,4,3,1 As a Double Duelist I'd LOVE that

McCandless: If this type of practice is what you are looking for, I would like to shoot it as: Rifle: R/P1 ... R/P2 ... R/P1 ... R/P3 ... R/P1 ... R/P4 ... R/P1 ... R/P5 ... R/P1 (Double Tap) 1st Pistol: R/P1 ... R/P2 ... R/P1 ... R/P3 ... R/P1 2nd Pistol: R/P1 ... R/P4 ... R/P1 ... R/P5 ... R/P1 If this sequence doesn't exist yet, I'd like to name it the "Statue of Liberty" sweep.* *

By the way, I think your idea is absolutely AWESOME, stupendous, fantastic!.

Thanks. Note: I'll compensate McCandless for the layout idea, you for the modification upgrade and an honorable mention to Pat for effort.
Cheyenne Culpepper 32827 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 I think the original is just fine,,, some people can P on two sweeps of 5,,, I know!
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Both rifle and pistol-2 rnds on each target. Are the back targets, close enough for SG?? If so-1 rnd on each........ OLG
McCandless Posted May 16, 2018 Author Posted May 16, 2018 I will simplify it, we have some new shooters and I don't want to have them flummoxed.... Fairly easy to modify a number of ways. Thanks.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Use the back R/P targets if you can for SG. Makes for less steel to 'mule' around........ OLG
McCandless Posted May 16, 2018 Author Posted May 16, 2018 I finished writing the match, Simplifed. Three stages only a little more complex, alternated with three nice and easy stages. Thanks
Joe Cross, SASS #13848 L Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 1-2-1-3-1-4-1-5-1-1 Looks like some beat me to it.....

Cheyenne Culpepper 32827 Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 any thing new can be a P trap,,, just think them thru,,,

BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Looks more like mental gymnastics rather than cowboy action! Blackfoot
Fireball #7709 Life Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 I don't care for it. This is supposed to be a shooting contest, not a memory test.

This is just one of my own backyard practice runs. I see there's about a dozen ways to simplify it, if it were to make it to a match. Yer, right. I wouldn't want to make it into a memory test. Thanks!

I guess this made it out of the back yard it would probably just become a 4 target descending sweep. 1-2-3-4, 1,2,3 1-2, 1 or P-1-2-3, P-1-2, P-1, P ~Duc~
Griff Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 My only criticism would be having the same targets for both rifle and pistol. Makes the Rifle too close, or the pistol too far.
Assassin Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 If it takes more than a few seconds to remember the sequence it's probably not a good sweep. I enjoy crossword puzzles but not when I'm shooting. I don't really understand the need for folks to have a sweep named after themselves, they could just call it the "narcissistic" sweep. I feel many of these sweeps are written by folks that were the last kids picked for the kick ball team when they were in elementary school. Keep it simple!

This was just something I was kicking around with for myself in the backyard. Like you said, keep it simple. Not every bright idea in the backyard, translates well to a match.
