This stage is called Klutz. Is
it one of of the 78 pre-defined stages that can be assembled with our
Plate system. There are many more that can be designed with our
components.
|
|
The pre-defined Steel stages require:
(5) - 10"
(5) - 12"
(4) - 18 x 24"
plates for their layouts.
Our reversible plate design permits using either side of the plate as the
target. Mounting our plates to a stem requires a wrench (Stem
Clamp kit) or no wrench (optional Stem Mount kit). (Click
here to see plate setup). Our
design prevents broken welds. We have over 10 years of use -
without any repairs! We use AR400 plate for our target material. Select
"Home"
then either "Handgun-Targets"
or "Rifle-Targets"
for other
target shapes and
choices which can be used in conjunction with the stems and bases.

American Speed Plate stages use: (24) stems.
2 - 18"
3 - 24"
2 - 30"
3 - 36"
3 - 42"
5 - 48"
2 - 54"
3 - 60"
1 - 66"
All stems are 3.0" short of their listed length to compensate for the base and plate
clamping devices. The named length places the center of the target at
that height. The material for the stems is 1 1/2"x 1 1/2"
x 1/4" angle
iron. The plates use the stems (either end) for support and the
other end is held by the Universal
Base. (Click here to see
stem setup). We also offer a Disconnector kit that converts the stems into stands
and the plates into knock
downs with a spin inhibitor built in.
|
|
The Universal Base is used to support and clamp the target stem. Most of the stages will
require 5 bases. (Click
here to see base setup).
|
|
A Clamp tool/Spring Compression gauge is
recommended with an initial Universal Base order.
The gauge is used to adjust the base stem clamp spring tension if it's
adjustment has been inadvertently changed. The tension adjustment uses
the same tool required for setup/tear down or target flip over. A common
3/4 inch wrench, socket-ratchet or
ratcheting wrench is required. (Click
here) or on the Tool picture for typical assembly steps.
|
|
All pre-defined stages can be built from the Universal Bases.
Optional stick holders, (for an additional cost)
increases the base versatility. The Universal Base is designed with
removable legs. This permits sliding multiple Universal base plates on to one pair
of legs. There are stage designs that use double base plates,
several of them require 2 double bases.
|
|
|
Triple base plates are required for some of of the stages. Simply slide one plate to the middle
of the removable legs and add the other two plates (one to each end) to create a triple
plate Universal Base. The "Texas Tree" stage is at its best with a double base
and a triple base.

A Steel match CD is available.
The CD contains the stage layouts, rules, match
template/scoring and classification system. The scoring and classification system uses
Microsoft Excel and macros to determine match results and to classify participants. There
are tools to assist the match director, such as a selection sheet that keeps track of when
the stages were last run. The classification system uses the last 1 to 15 months of match
data. Select "Home"
then "Matches" -
