    Looks fun. I'm sure it'll require lots of shooting. The Texas star is freakin' mean! happy0065

    Yes, and erratically too.

    You knock the first plate off the star and that unbalances the rig causing it to rotate.

    But I know one thing that never dies,
    the glory of the great dead.

    Here's a link to watch the texas star.([nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke5uW8jhDjQ"]YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.[/nomedia]) My clips of 2008 champs is to big to post on the site. That is where I got the idea from to build it. It wasn't easy because they dont want to give the plans. But a "boer maak a plan". The plan took me about to months to get the plates working to stay in place and to fall off when knocked. Tested at champs with few hickups, but I think it will last the next champs without any problems as it was resolved. If anyone want clips of champs 2008 to see my invention I can e-mail some clips. Clips sizes more or less 25mb.
    To see more clips just enter "speed steel texas star" in google searh and more clips will be available on You tube.
    Be at Witbank League and you can test it youself

    Unfortunately the distance between PE and Witbank just does not justify a quick drive through for a league shoot.... ???

    Come down for the champs. I will sponsor it to the champs this year. It is fun to shoot and also not that easy. Maybe I must make time to visit family in PE and take it with when you guys have a league

    In PE we have a shoot every Saturday and something like that could always be added in some way...
