If you plan on each stage having two or three strings, people get the reload just not on the clock.

If you plan on each stage having two or three strings, people get the reload just not on the clock. You always get to reload between strings, I just remember thinking, "You will not reload, no matter what" when strings were six rounds and reloads take five seconds; it's not worth reloading even for a miss. Five-round strings give you flexibility, if you're loading six.

Correct. I am excited to see what you come up with. I absolutely love matches with tons of really short stages! Much more realistic and approachable by everyone. The big bonus is that those who aren't the high speed movement types can do very, very well.

Trying to schedule the hand-sized match for the "fifth Saturday" in September.
We're also working on a 1911 single stack match for 2018. Similar to the hand-sized match, any/all ASI shooters are welcome, but there will be awards for the top finishers competing with 1911-style pistols. Maybe a movie theme, with stage designs based on scenes from Untouchables, Way of the Gun, The Getaway, Sgt.York? Seven stages ~100 rounds. Stay tuned.

Looking forward to both matches. Hopefully we’ll get dates locked in so we can fence them off to participate

Both matches sound awesome! I guess I'll have to get busy in designing (and financing ) an appropriately themed 1911

I've heard through the grapevine that the hand-sized match was being discussed at local USPSA venues . . .

Nothing, other than it will be on a weekend when the weather is good. I think we're committed to doing it on a regular Renton match weekend, so probably June or July, as I'm out of town in August.
