I love shooting the Texas Star and I know it makes people better shooters. It develops eye to trigger coordination and timing. So, let's see your IDPA legal stages with the Texas Star. I'll start.

i'll setup the stage 4 this weekend and try it...both look good and legal..
on stage 6,does PP1 activate the star ore is that a star attached to a stick,that activates S1/S2??? personally the only thing i would change on stage 6 ,would be to add a P2 [dbl barrels as a tree]and shoot D3thru D1 on the move to P2..thats just me talking..i dont like static stages :wacko:
At the Tulsa match last month they used a star on a stage also...used a steel shaped black boot to activate the star...

You may disappoint me but that only means we adjust fire and go in another direction.
I will continue to shoot in the men's division, win, lose, or draw. The Wildman. CDP MASTER :Stanley K Smith 1/22/09 may you "RIP"

Glad you like them. PP1 is attached to the trip stick that activates the star. I take a third plate from the star and wire it to a peg board hook and hang it over the back of the bottom plate for additional weight. It's optional. It just gets the plates moving faster. I also use a segmented, hinged trip stick for added reliability and speed of activation.

Adapt it as you see fit. I have to fit multiple stages in an oversized bay without creating shoot through hazards, so sometimes I have to limit width.

I like it. I've only shot the star once, as my local club doesn't have one.

Steve..i set this up different,added another target,4 total with 3rnds to each..Shooter started from the left rear of the bbl'sabout 4yds out and while moving to P2 engaged T1T2,which were 5yds 7yds to the right of the bbls.12 yds from the bbl's to the star,and i ran the hard cover at the top of where the arms attach..ran 17 shooters..best time score was a cdp/ex with a 20.62/2pd up to 71.91 ssp/nv,with the last star fallling off at the 31 st rnd . 2 exp 10 ss 3 mm 2 nv shooters....given the comments and the oh sh**s given i think it would work fine..G'

Essentially the same. Our times ranged from 17.27 and 20.02 CDP/SS and ESP/MM who were 1 for 1 on the plates to 94.93 and 116.48 both SSP/NV both new shooters.

What doesn't kill them only makes them stronger. When we first got the Texas Star, it was not uncommon for some of our MM to have to reload to the next 10-rd mag to finish the 5 plates. Now those same shooters can often clean it without missing.

The base design for this one is by Lin E. the IDPA coordinator at the Blue Grass Sportmen's League in Ky. Thanks, Lin. It worked great. I added the charging dog targets.
