The Marker Pad is a 2" x 2" square pad painted bright red. We use them to lay out stages by placing them on the ground to temporarily mark the center point of a target base. They are thick enough to reject bullet splatter and can be quickly repainted if hit.

Marker Stakes are a spike and washer welded together. The spike head protrudes above the washer by 3/4" and is small enough to hold a tape measure loop. We leave one permanently in the ground on the centerline as a benchmark.

 Marker Stakes and Pads are used to layout stages.  A Marker Stake can be temporarily pushed into the ground at the proper distance from the benchmark and used as a pivot point to measure to the center of a target base offset from the centerline. A Marker Pad can then be used to index the spot.

Tie Down Stakes are available to secure bases to the ground. They can be driven into the ground with a hammer. We designed them as an option for our light weight Transportable Target bases (Stick holders).

The Mini Popper Kit converts the rearward falling plate into a forward falling one. The set bolt is removed and our Kit assembly is installed in its place. The Mini popper assembly then is rotated 180 degrees. Plate sensitivity can still be adjusted. When the plate is hit it will fall toward the shooter.

The Disconnector kit is available to convert the plates and stems into knock down targets. We've used this system to convert steel stages into shotgun stages. The Disconnector kit will accommodate targets up to 14" in diameter (7" from the plate edge regardless of the target shape).

The Disconnector Platform plate converts any stem top into a 4" wide by 6" long flat platform. The plate height above ground is the length of the stem plus about 1 3/4". We use stems one length down (6" shorter) when converting steel stages to shotgun stages. The 3/4" wrench (provided by user),  for the plates, tightens the Disconnector Platform to the stem. The Platform can be lowered to a minimum height of about 10" if mounted directly to the base stem support.

The Plate Reactive base and stem converts plates up to 7" (from edge to center) into knock down plates (reactive). The plate base has an anti-spin strip built in. The strip prevents the target from spinning on the platform and assists in setting the plate to the same location on the platform. The our plate clamp system  is used to fasten targets to the Reactive base. 

A Steel match software 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. See "Home", "Matches"  "American Speed Plates" for more information.

Our Squib tool has the mass to drive those pesky bullets from any hand gun barrel. It will work for 9 mm through the largest calibers. The brass rod is backed by the mass of the steel T-handle.

 Our Electronic Speed controller was designed to work with brass collators and vibratory primer tube fillers. Several of our customers complained that brass was spilling over the top of the collator bowl, even on low speed.  Slowing the speed of the collator rotation gives the brass more time to drop and prevents too many pieces of brass from stacking and falling over the bowel rim. Primers were flipping over while the vibratory primer tube fillers were being loaded. Small Federal primers were more prone to ending up facing the wrong way than were Winchesters.  Primers line up  while waiting to enter the primer transfer tube. Primers arriving exert enough force on the waiting primers to cause a primer to flip on its side.  Primers that have passed the last wrong side up trap are pushed to the transfer tube and can fall into the tube either side up. Reducing the power to the filler corrects the problem.
