STAGE 1:  BASIC SKILL DRILL, limited
Three targets at 4 yards.

String 1:  Draw and engage each target with two shots each, freestyle, 
           reload from  slide-lock, two shots each, strong hand only 
           two shots each, weak hand only.

String 2:  Draw and engage each target with two shots each, freestyle, 
           reload from slide-lock, two shots each, weak hand only.


STAGE 2:  BAD AMMO DAY
Begin with magazine loaded, but no round chambered
You find yourself under attack by several armed thugs.  On signal, 
draw and engage T-1 (2 yards).  Your luck is not good today, as you 
have a misfire.  WHILE MOVING BACK, clear the misfire and engage T-1 
with two shots.  Then once behind cover, engage T-2 and T-3 (5 yards) 
with two shots each.


STAGE 3:  TIME TO GO HOME (based on a real incident) 
While locking up the stop-n-rob one evening, you are suddenly attacked 
by several armed men.  Unfortunately, you are armed only with a 5 shot
snub nose revolver. (load 5 rounds only, and no spare mag)  Start with 
back to T-1 (2 yards) and hands on door (use tall barricade).  On signal, 
turn and engage T-1 with one shot to the head.  Thinking you are finished, 
you holster your gun.  Luck is not on your side tonight, however, and a
second attacker suddenly steps out from beside a soda machine.  On the
second start signal, redraw and engage T-2 with two shots (4 yards).  
Suddenly a third and fourth attacker get out of the car they were waiting 
in.  Engage each target (5 yards) with one round.  T-1 must have a head 
shot. T-2, score best two shots, T-3 and T-4, score best one shot, but you 
still must score for Failure to Neutralize as normal. On targets with only 
one shot, if that one shot is a miss or is in the -3 zone, that is a FTN, 
plus the points down.  Even though you only have 5 rounds, this is not 
a limited stage.

I know this stage will initiate some complaints.  This stage is based on a
real incident where the good guy was attacked by two armed men, however, 
there were two more waiting in the car.  These two men did not get out, but 
they easily could have, and the store owner was armed only with a 5 shot 
snubnose .38.  In general, I designed this stage to make you think about what 
you carry.  Many competitors shoot one gun in competition, but in reality 
carry only a small pocket gun, thinking you can't conceal a full size weapon 
(which is hogwash anyway.)  If you have a 5 shot revolver and you're involved 
in any kind of incident, you're only going to have 5 shots, regardless of what 
happens.  You don't get to choose how/when/where you're going to be involved in 
something, and you don't get to choose how many attackers there will be.  For 
years, the standard was "most gunfights only involve a 2 or 3 shots," but now
it's becoming more and more common to be involved with multiple attackers.  Some 
trainers are saying the average now is 6-8 shots.  Over the last year or so, the 
Friday night matches have tended to move away some from the "training" aspect
and focus more on the competition aspect.  I'm trying to incorporate stages
like this to take us back to the mindset of what the matches are intended to 
teach, and at the same time, I'm trying to keep them interesting. 


STAGE 4:  HOME INVASION
You get home from a long day at work.  You take off your gun and spare mag and lay
them on the dresser.  Gun and mag start on counter about 3 yards away.  Suddenly, 
an armed thug kicks your front door open.  On signal, get to your gun, pick it up 
and engage T-1 (3 yards) with two shots to the body and one to the head.  Then 
engage T-2 (just behind T-1) as he comes through the door, with at least two shots 
to the body and one to the head.  Perform a reload with retention.  Suddenly two 
more armed men come in.  Engage T-3 and T-4 (4 yards) with two shots to the body 
and one to the head.
