armed citizen the way most are set up there is a spring loaded lever with two prongs that hold the plate on when u shoot it the lever pens and the plate falls off
Great shooting, great video... except for the obnoxious noise (an attempt at music, perhaps?) in the background! It was completely unnecessary and only succeeded in making me shut off my speakers.
Actually, although the word "intentionally" is misleading, that is correct.
This can be a very challenging target if the angular momentum (rate of spin) is high. The trick is to take the top (descending) plates first, to shift the weight, and minimize spin.
Slower targets are easier to hit; still targets are REAL easy to hit.
Anything you can do to keep the target from spinning fast will improve your performance.
Take the highest (falling/overbalanced) plate first -- always!
Looks like fun. Good stuff

That Texas Star is made by MGM Targets, Caldwell Idaho. Invented by Terry Ashton from, you guessed it, TX.

How are the plates held on to the rotating stand?

The way this star is designed most times the top plate will not fall if shot in the upper most position.

Why don't they shoot from the top down? The Star is a LOT easier if you don't make it swing.

there is an order it has to be done in to intentionally make it harder
