List of Sweeps

[Mountain Man Gramps]

I saw somewhere a list of sweeps.  I'm writing some stages and a list like that would be helpful.  Does anyone know of or have a list they could PM to me, or even better a link to a list so others can also use it?

I would suggest that when writing stages you spell out the target order instead of using Sweep names. Many sweeps are local or regional and never heard of in other areas. Some sweeps are shot differently depending on where you are. An example is a Lawrence Welk and a Progressive Sweep. 
 

Thanks

The Ontario Single Action Shooting Federation has a Glossary of Sweeps that I have found are often used:  https://www.osasf.ca/glossary-of-sweeps/    SB

When possible, I refer to a 1-10-2-9-3-8-4-7-5-6 as a Driftwood Johnson Sweep after seeing him do a rifle sequence that way once where it was "sweep in any order" instructions.   He did the wide swings like that cuz he shoots black powder and it allowed some of the smoke to clear.   

The term has never caught on.

dittos that and besides - we want the shooter informed when they approach the stage or the "P" becomes moot really , there is no fun in confusion ,

Don't forget the Bo Diddly sweep.  It is kinda like the Whatz it Called Sweep, but in reverse.

 

Not to be compared to the Super Secret Sweep.

Thanks everyone.  Lots of material to look through (and filter!).

This sweep is also called an IRS Sweep.
