Classifier Stage Target Distances

[bearswoodshop]

If a match is advertised as SCSA Stages ***any of the 8*** and scores will be sent in to SCSA for those who are a member of SCSA-USPSA*** How close to the set distances for any said Stage should they be. The Rules say they can vary Slightly ***How much is Slightly??? Ive seen one that the long corner shots in OUTER LIMITS was 57 long paces or close to 57 yards. The front 2 were 26 yards and stop was 22. I was thinking about Joining USPSA to be Classified just for my own curiosity, but how can you turn in a fair and equal to Score if from Club to Club the distances vary that much. Im sure the stages that are set at the Distances set forth in the Rules will be much faster than those that are Way Wider and Much Further to the same Targets. Thanks, Just curious how this works

The clubs should be measuring and putting them at the correct distance.

Riley Conservation Club tries to set the stages exactly to the stated distances. If they are off it is by inches just to get the target to set better. Have to use a tape measure....to much variance in steps.
