Stage Planning SC-105 Accelerator
Essential Stage Planning Tips for Competitive Shooters
Accelerator is a good mix of shooting near and far as you transition from the two closest targets to the two farthest before finishing on the center stop plate. The stage emphasizes both precision and efficiency. The farther targets demand careful aiming, while the closer plates encourage rapid engagement.

Accelerator is a good mix of shooting near and far as you transition from the two closest targets to the two farthest before finishing on the center stop plate.
Target Sequence:
Start with the closest or easiest targets to establish a rhythm, then move to the more distant plates before finishing on the stop plate.
Prioritize Precision on Smaller Targets:
Take extra care with the smaller round plates, as they demand greater accuracy and control.
Practice Distance Shooting:
The farthest target requires precise aiming, so dedicate practice time to improve your comfort with longer shots.
Stay Consistent:
Repeating a successful target sequence across strings builds confidence and improves overall performance.
