Mailing In the April 3-Gun

As the temps rise in the Valley of the Sun, I'm loathe to throw in a bunch of bulky props that need to be trucked/towed into and out of the practical pistol bays the League uses. I'm also running short of ideas this month, both in stage design and stage naming, hence the post title. Well, this is a practice match; the only month I have to be creative is the October Halloween 3-Gun, which is no more important than any other practice match, but Jon and I have kinda got everybody's expectations up for that one. These are the April stages as submitted to the Course of Fire Committee:
