The problem in that club is bad SOing and bad CoF design doing vanilla stages for the gamers. A shooters turns a corner without slicing, he gets a procedural for being stupid and if he is willing to take the procedural because the math of going fast gives him a final advantage, then you nail him with a Failure to Do Right and that will kill his dream of a first place ending. In the design front, a hallway stage can be designed to put the brakes on gamers by changing the no-shoots targets from shooter to shooter or simply placing no shoots in the worse possible angles to partially block the targets. We do this on a regular basis and it will make you slow down to scan which is which.





Again on design, Are stages designed to challenge the shooter by having them shoot in other than standing positions? Or facing irregular cover & concealment?







Combination of Near and Far targets?



Strong Hand Weak Hand drills? Shooting from sitting, laying down (face up, face down, on the side, etc)







This one is just for showing off the quality of our participants
