J. Frank Norfleet Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 DB, I don't have any expectations at this point. If it changes GREAT!, if not I keep shooting. I didn't start this poll because I was on a crusade. I started it out of curiosity. The rumor that came to me at WR (and that is all it may be, a rumor) was that the WBAS committee thought that the only folks wanting 7 rounds to a mag were newbie shooters. Frankly, I am surprised that since the poll started that it has been a strong 2/3rds if favor of 7 rounds. Yes, I write pistol only stages. No, I never shot the stage above with seven rounders. But I think I can answer your question. Smart folks shot it 10 rifle, 6 shotgun and 10+ pistol. (BTW - I think it was comstock on the knockdowns. Extra rounds could be expended on getting a KD down or dumped on a stationary target. All guns must be shot dry.) At BS I shot it 25 pistol and at EOT I shot it like everybody else. So, count the transitions: beep to rifle, rifle to shotgun, shotgun to pistol and one mag change = 4 transitions for 26 rounds. All pistol with 5 round mags: beep to pistol and 4 mag changes = 5 transitions for 25 rounds (if you wanted to make up a missed KD that adds another mag change and a dump). All pistol with 7 rounders: beep to pistol and 3 mag changes = 4 transitions for 28 rounds. Since my splits on the pistol are much faster than the rifle I would opt for all pistol with 7 round mags, unless there are some targets way out there. If a shooter knows their transition times and splits on each gun at different target distances they can reason this out. JFN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUSTY BODDAMS Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 jfrank, I think the poll was interesting also. it really has had a lot of life for a dead horse. slight subject change------I figured you would be writing some pistol only stages :) so what's your round count? are you moving ? stand and deliver? walk me thru one if you don't mind. I always like to hear what all folks are coming up with. dusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Frank Norfleet Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 DB, Generally 25 rounds, tho I like 30 too. Since most folks carry 6 mags and one in the pistol that leaves an extra mag or two for a wreck. I like movement and seeing a new set of targets at each shooting position. Rarely do I do any stand and deliver, although they can be fun too. Also I like stages that give shooters an option of moving down range or staying in a spot for far targets. Found a couple of stages in my file and have emailed them to you. JFN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Frank Norfleet Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 With EOT coming up I thought that this should be moved back to the top. JFN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
