NEW 3D STAGE WALKTHROUGH

Walk every stage in 3D before you shoot it.

Hit Walk on any stage below to drop into a first-person view of the bay. Look around, move, lean past a wall to check an angle, and crouch to see under the fence panels — the same things you'd do on a real walkthrough. All 18 bays work offline once the page has loaded, so it still works standing on the berm with no signal. Runs on almost every modern phone, tablet, and computer.

USPSA · QUICK REFERENCE

How These Stages Are Scored.

17 COMSTOCK STAGES

Hit factor scoring — points divided by time. Best 2 hits per paper target count, and all steel must fall.

1 VIRGINIA COUNT

Stage 15, "From sea to shining sea" — one round per target, best 1 hit on paper. Extra shots are penalized.

406 ROUND MINIMUM

The bare minimum to complete all 18 stages clean. Bring meaningfully more — makeup shots, reshoots, and misses all cost rounds.
