I bet a wal-mart greeter could shoot that with a revolver upside down!

Oh Crap....... That is an EVIL way to make someone shoot the Death Star....... (only plates not behind the netting - if that netting was a solid wall... you are SCREWED).

The choice of music was friggin GREAT................... Smile

Texas Stars are FUN to shoot. And humbling............... Smile

And............................... Sorry, but tooting my own horn...... Smile

During the 1986 World IPSC/USPSA Shoot in Florida, they had the very first gravity drop-turner target system. Those required a hole to be dug in the ground for placement. Not too long after that match, Dave S. (then President of USPSA) called me to talk about those targets. He wanted me to design the same system that did not require a hole to be dug. I draw up some plans (only ideas in my head - no prototypes made) and lucky for me........ the system worked. A guy made the first few with me getting one of them. However, shortly after that, we IPSC shooters at Magnolia got the "limited" chance to shoot matches at the Jackson PD range. The new drop-turner was some of the gear stored at the PD range. Less than a year later, Admin changed and we were told "no more"........... That drop-turner MIGHT still be at the JPD range........... I (we) never went back for it along with a few other items.......... Sad Mainly because the new Admin would not allow civies on the range. I still wonder (hope) that target is still there, and we will get it back one day...............................
