JohnWesleyHardin Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Anyone know the name of the sweep wherein you shoot your pistols and rifle on 5 targets with 4 shots on each target
Grizzly Dave Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 When I've seen that sort of thing it's come with the words 'in any order' attached to it. Which means it's not a sweep per se. A sweep being a specific order in which to engage the targets. So if I wanted a 4 on 5 sweep, I'd write is as 'Using pistols and rifle, Sweep the 5 targets putting 4 rounds on each target starting at either end.'
Attica Jack #23953 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 I think it is called "I lost count sweep."
Chief Rick Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 As Grizzly Dave said above. With pistols and rifle, engage five targets with four rounds each in any order. And you may want to add - can't end with rifle.

Sneaky Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 I shot this exact pattern last week and really enjoyed it. Target placement was like the number 5 on dice. Spotters didn't have trouble with it. We had the choice of either pistol or rifle first. Give it a shot.
Purly SASS # 57438 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Pig Iron sweep. Shootem any way you want to.
Chief Rick Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 While fun for the shooter, sequences like this can be a PITA for spotters. Fast shooters, or gunfighters, can get ahead of spotters. I wouldn't use it for a major match but it would be fun for a monthly.
JohnWesleyHardin Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 When I have seen it, the targets are at an angle with the first being rifle distance away and target five being very close. Most start with the furthest target with the rifle, 1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3 and then finish with the pistol 3,3,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5. Its fun to shoot
Clay Thornton Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Let me just say if you don't write this in for the May Zen Shootist shoot, I am for the June! The possibilities are endless here especially if you have the shotgun be last.
JohnWesleyHardin Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 I have the whole match written already. It's in there. I think I will call it the Clay Hardin sweep!
Sergeant Duroc Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 It's not the Duroc Sweep, but it will do...

You certainly have to watch those two! Now that you mention it, it does like they are conspiring... Hope you have your Iowa State Championship applications ready! Would love to see you in May.
Lawdog Dago Dom Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Loved Iowa. Can you just turn that heat down a bit for us?

Flint N. Steele Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Well, heck. I came to play. You can only give me one "P."
