As far as range use issues such an idea is not an problem though?

As long as it is in a match with RO/SOs, no issues at all.

I'm all for the dueling tree. I like those things. Separates the men from the boys.

Although it will mean burning through a lot of extra ammo.

I had considered this (only for the winners ), and it will be intimidating for new shooters. BUT, I think it is too fun to not try.

Dueling tree stage could be cool.

I'd like to see a stage with something PT-related involved, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjkzWw6nLKs

Awww yeah.

Nothing wrong with that. If you like that kind of thing, the Iron Man makes that look like playing with dolls. We already ran the MEGA stage match this year, but we will do it next June. Took the average person about 8 minutes and about 200 rounds fired.

When the platform is ready (hope soon), you will have the option to run up and down steps too. You can put a stopwatch on a guy and give them 60 seconds to go up and down the stairs, 1 second off for each flight of stairs, then do a field course. Physical exertion before, or within a stage should be done a lot more than it is.

If I wanted exercise I'd golf or play softball or something.

Not to fuel the fire, but I thought this was an interesting exercise in chewing gum, rubbing your belly, playing chess, long division, and expert marksmanship

SAFriday once mentioned that there are shooters over on Brian Enos forum that practice movement in their garage on a treadmill with a gas powered airsoft gun. We got rid of our treadmill before I ever tried it. I've got a stair climber now. The guy in the video had that thing crankex up way higher than I thought.

I like the idea of something a little more physical, but every where I've shot has someone with a disability that would make a physical stage like that impossible.
