5-Stand

[sandiego67]

So, I shot a 23 on the trap range and then headed over to the 5-stand to try it for the first time ever. I ended up with a 6.

Very different disciplines.

Sporting clays is like 5-stand, but with seven more stations

Where were you at?

Trap and skeet are games of repeatable target presentations. Station one is station one wether you're in California or Florida.

Sporting clays, 5-stand, FITASC are games of ever changing target presentations. That's why every year there are fewer than a handful of 100 straights, shot.

You guys that shoot skeet at Triple B should wander over and join me some time. I won't bite.

It will humble you quick!

I tried 5-stand for the 1st time last June. Similar story. I've been shooting a couple rounds a week and my skills & scores have improved. The range I usually shoot at is open 2 days a week and target presentations are changed every day. Sometimes between rounds. Very few hit 20+ on this range, and only a couple of 24+ a year.

Fun & addicting!

In the Sunnyvale range, they operate a popular 5-stand, ran by this a really nice Japanese American guy by the name Gary. If any of you happen to be in the area, be sure to check it out.

And yes, it is a very different game. I tried it once a couple of years ago and I think I got 5.

I think I'll prefer Sporting Clay. I'm an engineer and I like to figure solutions to problems, including how to hit a certain target. Sporting clay let me pick a station and practice till I figure it out on my own, which is half the fun for me.

Don't spend too much time/energy trying to figure out how to hit a specific target at a certain station. It will change!

[ysr_racer]

I disagree. Every target you hit is another one in the bank.

Thanks for the reminder BigBear .... its the only Bay Area range I have never been to

I think its time to visit Sunnyvale R&G and give the 5 Stand an afternoon's worth this Sat....half the drive to Coyote Valley SC and I can practice my mag dumps.

Anyone want to join me this Sat?
