Number of stages

[Uncle Ethan]

Vote for number of stages and bays used

[Kid Ziggy]

Bays:   1,2,3,8,9,10 (all flat walking).  Any combination of number of stages is fine with me.  Five usually does it for me, but I always end up shooting the 6th when there.

Perhaps during the more favorable months (Apr, May, Jun, Sep, Oct, Nov) shoot 1 stage per bay for some variety when setup & match day usually are not too hot, or too cold.  Other months, 2 or 3 flat bays with multiple stages.

Just my 1-cent

I like these votes. This was a great idea.

Shooting five stages on three bays comes with the cost of restricting us to two groups of shooters.  If a third posse is needed, during the course of the match, two of them will have to wait while the preceding posse shoots an entire stage. 

Example:  While posse A is shooting stages 1&2 on the first bay, posse B is shooting stages 3&4 on the second bay, and posse C is shooting stage 5 on the third bay.  When C gets done with stage 5, they will have to wait an entire stage before posse A can leave the first bay.  That delay repeats for posse B when they finish stage 5.

This setup will limit us to a total of 36 shooters unless two thirds of the shooters (posse B and C) are willing to set around waiting for the posse in front of them to change bays.

In the heat of the summer or those extreme cold days 5 stages is about all I care to shoot anymore. 6 is fine the other months but a 6th stage could always be optional. Not as young as I once was.

I agree with Ocoee on 5 stages because I begin to fade by then. Also-5 stages work out well for the time and money that I have for reloading and sourcing material.

5 Stages because I get 100 primers at a time :-)
