Bubba,
Texas Tactical would be one of the first places I'd visit if I could travel to matches.
You are right, in the older days of IDPA we had more latitude. That is probably where this stage came from. There are lots of old stages on the internet, that no longer meet the rules requirements. So given the old way of doing no-shoots, I thought it a clever solution. I meant nothing more, and had no idea this thread would take on a life of its own.
I'm not campaigning for not following the rules, or for changing the rules, I was just sharing what I thought a neat bit of brain power. Guess I'll learn... eventually.
You are right, marking both threat and non-threat targets is the way to go, given the current rules. We do it at my local club, when the setup crew isn't running late. I've created several spray paint templates to speed up the process. Heck we have spray paint templates for cell phones, ice cream cones, etc, that used to be allowed no-shoot indicaters.
One other thing we used to do, before the rule change, is to mark a target with a hand, and a gun, or a cell phone and a gun, or an ice cream cone and a gun. Especially useful in blind stages. When the shooter pies around a corner they see a no-shoot indicator first, then farther out, they see a gun. But alas, we can't do that anymore due to the rule change. Blind stages are supposed to be about threat identification.
As you know, I'm very much for following the IDPA rules, and I hate the "IDPA except" phrase used by so many clubs. On the other hand, I hate those that protest stages if and only if they do poorly. Fortunately we don't have any of those at our club, but the club is growing.
Good chatting with you, and thanks for reminding me of the genesis of this type of moving no-shoot stage.

I should remember to never type IRL again. Thanks
