For the Guru's, on some of those stages there are "non-disappearing" targets, what does that mean vs a disappearing target?
For example the swingers on stage 1, do they just swing out, swing back and forth?
Another are the drop turns on stage 7, if they are non-disappearing, once they turn do they stay presented? I ask this as opposed to last Sundays match where they turned and then went back.
Edit: So I actually read the rulebook, Section 9.9 somewhat cleared it up. So the drop turns, as shown, would stop with the target presented? Just curious.
Well, no, not always. :/
The targets we had this past match were disappearing in that after they had turned and presented themselves, they would then turn again and not be available. As such, if you missed them the first time, you didn't have a chance to re-engage them. According to the rules, that makes them "disappearing" and thus misses on then accrued no penalty.
Stage designers have figured several ways around that, however. One is, of course, just having the drop turners, when activated, turn once and stay facing the shooter. Another one is that the drop turners act normally---but this time, when they turn back away from the shooter, the faces of the targets are still visible from an obscure, hard-to-reach, time-consuming area of the stage.
And that's what we have in this case---one of each.
For stage 5, the drop turner will appear just once---and when it goes back to where it started, you CAN still see it---but to do that you have to run all the way to the far left of the shooting area on the stage to shoot it, which will take a LOT of time, and be a fairly distant shot.
On stage 7, they are non-disappearing in that they will stay facing the shooting area after being activated.
(On stage 1, the swingers just keep swinging back and forth---no disappearing.)
