[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1746639, member: 1132"] You know Ken, I actually sat and thought about this for a moment. If you consider the plate arrangement from the perspective of the plates, and the order they should be shot in, it does make a kind of sense. If you watch someone shoot the star correctly, they shoot top, right, right, left, then bottom. When done at speed and with no misses, the plates remain largely stationary. But, you’re moving the gun from center chest, to the right, down, to the left and then low center. This would roughly equate to the movements a right handed shooter trying to dodge to the left, getting hit, reversing course and eventually falling to the ground while still presenting a threat. Where the star loses applicability is when a shooter misses, the plates start spinning and the shooter parks their front sight in one spot, spending a LOT of time trying to wait for plates to line up so they can get a stationary shot at each one. Even when I miss, I keep the gun moving and constantly reacquire plates until I get them all off. This takes a lot less time that “ambushing” each spinning plate. Does this make any sense, or am I just rambling? :) [/QUOTE]
