Any good IDPA CoF you'd like to share?

[SIRVEYR666]

I did some testing, so I hope this works.

Here's one that I wrote the other night. Let me know what you think.

I do most of my stages in power point. I had to put this in word to get it to work.





Ugh...after viewing it again...it kinda looks a little smooshed. Oh well, you get the idea.

Are barrels of single height? What about the blue-green "walls?"

Are T3-T4 in view as you move from P1 to P2? Should not be if you are not allowed to engage.

Are T3-T4 available for reengagement from P3? If not, you need to extend the "wall" as a vision barrier to keep them out of sight as you cross the opening.

Are T7-T8 in view from P3? Should not be if you are not allowed to engage.

Looks like a good run 'n gun, as much as allowed in IDPA, as long as the target sets are screened off enough to force the engagement you want without exposing yourself to unengaged threats.

Looks like a fun stage although not IDPA "legal" given the number of non-threats. Alternatives to the high number of non-threats is to add hard cover either by barrels, walls, or on the target itself to make the shot more challenging.

Too much time in the desert...

has left you grumpy DrKyle. What's a few too many no shoots amoung friends? It's just more collaborators to shoot at...

See you at RCSC for the match Sunday???

 

[SIRVEYR666]

Yeah, I know that there are too many NT's. The 3:1 ratio is only for "sanctioned" matches.

I've been known to have shooters engage 8" steel at 20 yards...weak hand. That whole "no weak hand stuff at more than 7 yards" is for sissies!

 

[DrKyle1]

Yeah Dave ... I have been in this sandbox way too long!!! but in my sandbox there are only a few people who shoot not like the big sandbox over there! Hey great job on the stump shoot!!!!!! I like winning money - thanks

 

[Dr.Who]

Chad,

Just change all but two of those no-shoots to hard cover (paint them solid black) and you'll be fine.

How about this course of fire? If I can post the picture, I will...

Fly Fishing for Trout

You are on a trout fly-fishing camping trip in the mountains. You have just returned from a great evening of fishing during a Mayfly Hatch. Your luck landed you the makings for a great evening meal. You have your campfire going and now you need to clean your trout. You placed your meal by the fire, but realized that you left your filet knife in your rig. You return from the rig with your knife and kneel down by the fire, placing your firearm on the ground next to you. You start to prepare the fish, but hear a rustling in the woods and a several low growls. (At the tone) You look up to see some of nature’s uninvited guests looking for a free meal. Remove the threat without loosing your meal….

Firearm loaded to max. Minimum round count is 13 rounds, Vickers count. Wolves require 2 shots each; Targets are painted camouflage with black/gray paint, IDPA Target turned on its side. Bear requires 4 shots (Big Bear-2 IDPA targets side by side with zeros touching). Popper, shoot till it drops. All wolves must be shot in tactical priority. Popper is shot after engagement of the wolves. Popper will release the bear. Trees will not allow bullets to pass (targets are marked with no shoot area) Campfire is considered cover for reloads. Concealment not required.

All shooting will be done from a kneeling or sitting (problem knees, over turned 5 gallon bucket) position. Gun to be placed on the ground or box. Reloads from body. Low light, campfire will have lights facing down range. To make revolver friendly, line up popper with head of the last wolf, Revolver then can shoot with one reload, 12 rounds.

This one made the IDPA journal a few years ago... It has been a favorite of our Club.

question about 13/12 round stage

While shoot thru's do count, I thought each target had to be engaged. Thus, I thought that a 13 round stage required 13 rounds, period.

So, if a poorly designed course required you to engage 2 targets 2 rounds each, and you could move to get shoot thru's you still had to shoot 4 shots. This because while you are shooting the front target and back target, you are only engaging one of them.

Pardon my ignorance, and nothing against revolvers. I'm trying to learn how yall interpret. If it's local level only rule, then fine.

And, revolver nuetral does not mean same number of reloads, IMO. Just needs to be able to be shot with a revolver. Means no "shoot an activator, then shoot a dissappearing target 6 times" ... no "shoot 8 shots on the move in the open" .... etc.

Just my .02 cents.

akanotoken,

Good questions: Our interprutation of Revolver Neutral is the fact that targets can be done in groupings of 6. Meaning if you had a 3 targets on one side of cover and 3 on the other side. A clean revolver shooter could do 2 shots to each target on one side of the cover, reload while transissioning to the opposite side to finish the other 3. It also means that the revolver shooter will be able to do the stage in the same amount of reloads as a semi-auto.

I reguards to the popper being lined up with the head to use as a shoot through. If used in this fashion, the steel would be a no score target. It is only used to activate the mover. If the mover does not activate, points down. We have not shot this stage in that fashion, however it is an opption and it would then be a 12 round minium stage. By the way I shoot revolver, both divisions.
