Here are some more details and thoughts I have had over the last week. Did some test runs. Realize a 2 minute time limit will be difficult! I want to make this challenging, but also fun for everyone who tries. So, I need some input from everyone here. Keep the time, or stretch it a bit to allow for more people to complete the run. It can be done, but the last rounds will be very tricky!! Which is the point of this, lol. Also, I was thinking of allowing you to go back a target if you have time and rounds remaining after hitting the 2. Rack up the points on a lower scoring plate, or wait for the 2 to stop swinging and try to hit it again for max points. Try to make you think on the clock as well!! Please let me know what you are thinking. I will be finalizing the plans over these cold months and getting ready to have some visitors to my Freedom Farm!! Thank you so much for watching and have a great rest of your day. Contact email: mxer11@yahoo.com
@viejo2a Yeah, I have heard from some of the guys who did Erik's Blackjack challenge already. Gonna try to score some swag and have a few prizes by the time this happens!! Getting some powder dropping now and catching up on comments. Busy weekend, but got a lot done. Readying to go test and verify my ammo. Make sure I will be good for my match Sunday!! Thanks for stopping by, sir! Have a great week!!
Oh. The uhm.. drop extension for plate to swing from rack; paint it a different color and either d/q those impacts or reduced scoring? In continuance of prior commentary, two shots per plate. Advance regardless of impact/miss. Lowest time and highest score wins. With a clean having bonus applied. Like a reduction from total time. Incentive to not "rush".
@JamesJohnson-if8rz So run it like a straight PRS stage. 2 shots per plate, hit or miss, move after the 2nd. Big to small target order. Shooter can start right and move left, or left and move right. Those are some good ideas. I will need to try it a few times with 12 in a mag or use the extras on the chassis. Get an idea how much time it would take to dwell for 2 shots each. Those smaller plates can take some time to decide to pull the trigger 🤣 I like that paint idea! Black it out, full points only for hitting the white. Excellent. I knew putting this out would get some more ideas. I had not even considered that yet!! The only thing I will have to consider will be the time for this type idea. Those last 2 plates get to swinging pretty good, so waiting for a chance to take the 2nd shot will be a few seconds. Good to catch your breath tho. I will give it a few tries and see how it works! Thanks for checking in. I like the ideas here! Have a great weekend!!
@@ChadKelly7 guess you could have a mandatory reload after the third plate. ;-) when I shot single stack in USPSA... LOVED hearing all those high cap open sissies cry about a mandatory reload. Even more when they would put a carpet chunk on the ground at reload location! Hah. Running a new mag every engagement, no difference to me. *Drops mag and steps on it* woops.
@JamesJohnson-if8rz Been having a busy weekend. Playing catch up on comments while powder is measuring out 🤣 Yeah, a reload would add to the challenge. Want to make this so someone with no PRS experience can also enjoy it. I am starting to message some companies, trying to score some swag. if this first one goes well, I may do it a few times a year. Slight changes each time to keep it interesting, and add to the difficulty each time. I have not seen a carpet piece for mag drop cushion yet. I could totally believe it tho. Seems some people don't wanna drop their mags too hard. Around here, they get full of dirt just from the wind, so not much dirtier when they drop on the ground🤣 Will add all the ideas into the possibilities, and get a good plan worked out for the official run. Can always do more runs to challenge yourself!
@@ChadKelly7 when I was frequenting the pistol bays at Rio Salado shooting club in Arizona. East side of the Phoenix valley. Great range. But yeah, truthfully those guys would put old rugs at the reloading block/box. Those $150 magazines that were hand tuned specifically for that race gun... I honestly know why they were getting upset. Because that mirror shined expensive tube is expensive. Offer multiple classes or brackets. Like the iron sights kyl challenge vs regular kyl that Cortina hosts.
@JamesJohnson-if8rz Yeah, race tuned pistols are wild. Matching mags to work perfectly, it is understandable. Glad I started on the Glock platform 🤣 Just drop them and keep running!! I was thinking that also. Depending how many I can get, have a few classes to reflect the skill/experience levels. That may well be the way to go. Good ideas, man!!

Hiya Chad. That’s an interesting scenario. I’m sure you’ll get some participation. 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸

@@cw2a you are gonna have to come down for a try!!
It will be fun!
How about twelve shots. Six plates, six positions? Shooter preference in direction on position. L-R or R-L. Hit or miss, keep going. Big to small.
