Love love cool stages with elaborate props. This month's Renton USPSA match had a bunch of cool movers, chargers and a treadmill to challenge us shooters. Most stages were designed really well with multiple ways to shoot and options.

That treadmill looks like a lot of fun.

Did anyone fall off of it?

Yes, walking forward while shooting 180 degrees to your right is extremely hard for right handers. But the charger is a rare opportunity.

not that I saw. It was much easier in the uspsa match than it was in the idpa match actually. They removed a no shoot that made the shots tougher, but also added more targets and some steel.

That treadmill was fun at the state match. Had a couple of guys on my squad who looked drunk while shooting from it. I was happy that you USPSA guys were using much of the stage props because that meant we didn't have to break them down after shooting all weekend!

Which mover was left? Was it the one on the ramp?

Both movers were used, the ramp and the one without the ramp (bay 5 I think). It was fun stuff!

Those movers are the closest thing to a tueller drill most shooters will ever get. Highly recommended.

yeah! That's the only thing I miss from IDPA, the stage props. It's hard to have fun stage props in a competitive sport like USPSA. These things are hard to construct and operate consistently for all shooters.

Especially when one of the shooters is a super fast robot! :bigsmile:
