Central Carolinas Falling Steel

Just thought it was a terrible display of what Pro-Am is supposed to be. SPSA knows how to do Pro-Am! Stages, especially stage 3, had absolutely no flow at all! 41 plates, 19 second par time, 10 round mags....

Wow. Three mag changes minimum (3.0 seconds total), three shooting postitions (so 2 location changes @ 1.5 seconds each, so 3.0 seconds total), a draw (0.75 seconds) for a total non-shooting time of 6.5 seconds, leaves 41 plates in 12.5 seconds. That's a "generous" 0.3 second split per target with no misses.

I get that cleaning stages is not what this is about, but....

As Robin Williams noted in his set on golf, At least in golf, "They put a little flag in the hole to give you hope!"

Did you shoot the match Charlie? Just curious as you seem to be quite the expert!
 
My apologies. I read the thread, and your comment. In attempting to understand, I it did some math that I thought supported your conclusion.
My apologies. I didn't catch the sarcasm in your post. I 100% thought you were being serious. I wanted to see the .75 draw and shot on the 5" Steel at 15 yards! Lol
 
I didn't catch the sarcasm in his post. I really thought he was serious.

Well, anytime someone is trying to figure out whether or not a stage can be shot in a certain time allotted (and cleanly) one has to be careful. Diplomatic, even. If you assume that some shots are unlikely to be made in certain time frames, then someone who CAN do it will be along to tell you you're wrong. If you assume they can, you're met with general incredulity. In other words, you're screwed no matter what.

I can't really speak to what is or isn't feasible unless I'm talking about me personally. I can't draw and hit anything other than the Earth in 0.75 seconds. =)
