Roundabout looks like a jumble and is actually a box: two plates near, two plates far, and the stop plate sitting inside the pattern rather than off to one side. It is the stage where the stop plate’s position — only 2 feet right of the center line, at 30 feet — makes almost any sensible route work, so long as you pick one and commit.
Four 12-inch plates and one 12-inch stop plate — every target on the stage is the same size. One 3′×3′ box. Five strings, best four counted.
Our own scale plan of SC-108 · Roundabout, drawn from the dimensions published in Appendix B of the SCSA Competition Rules, edition 2026-03. Distances are measured from the shooting box; offsets are from the center line; heights are to the top of the target.
| Target | Size | Distance from the box | Offset from center | Height to top |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12″ plate | 12 inches | 21 ft | 2 ft left | 5 ft |
| 12″ plate | 12 inches | 21 ft | 8 ft right | 5 ft |
| 12″ plate | 12 inches | 45 ft | 9 ft left | 5 ft |
| 12″ plate | 12 inches | 45 ft | 8 ft right | 5 ft |
| 12″ stop plate | 12 inches | 30 ft | 2 ft right | 5 ft |

Roundabout is the only stage where all five targets are 12-inch plates at the same height. There is no size cue, no rectangle to make one target obviously easier. What varies is only distance and angle: a near pair at 21 feet, a far pair at 45 feet, and the stop plate at 30 feet, nearly straight ahead.
That uniformity is why it is one of the fastest stages on the board for most divisions, and it is also why shooters lose track of which plate they have already taken.
