All-in-one workspace
Canvas with grid and ruler, layers, undo/redo, meter tool, and drag-and-drop IPSC targets — paper, steel, movers, and scenery.
Why use Stage Designer?
IPSC compliance
Built-in WSB checklist, automatic shot counts, No-Shoot coverage checks, and Short/Medium/Long classification before match day.
Professional deliverables
Generate briefings, stage or full-match PDFs, materials lists for logistics, and view-only links for ROs and squads.
Real productivity
Templates, duplicate stage or match, link to Athlete Training, and auto-save. Less time in PowerPoint, more time on the range.
Real-world scale
Set the bay in metres (width × depth) and everything follows: targets, props, grid and the measuring tool stay proportional to the actual range.
3D and shooter view
See the stage in perspective, walk the range and look from the start area at eye level — before you build it. Export the view as PNG or attach it to the stage PDF.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about the online IPSC Stage Designer.
Can I design the stage to real-world scale?
Yes. Set the bay width and depth in metres and the drawing works to scale: targets, props, grid and the measuring tool stay proportional to the range, and briefing distances match reality.
Is there a 3D view?
Yes. The 3D button shows the stage in perspective, with isometric, overhead and eye-level shooter presets from the start area — useful to spot hidden targets and shooting angles before building. The view can be exported as PNG or attached to the stage PDF.
