Overview

Getting Started with Pew Pew Stage Factory

A quick overview of the platform - creating your account, navigating the interface, and building your first stage.

Welcome to Pew Pew Stage Factory

Pew Pew Stage Factory is a purpose-built stage design platform for competitive shooting sports. Whether you shoot IDPA, USPSA, or GPA, this tool gives you everything you need to design stages, build match books, and plan your runs.

Tip: Pew Pew Stage Factory works best on a desktop or laptop. You can make quick edits on mobile, but the full editor experience is designed for a larger screen.

Creating Your Account

Head to the Sign Up page to create your account. A subscription is $12/year and includes everything - unlimited stages, match books, PDF exports, club membership, and all future updates.

Your First Stage

Click Stage Editor in the navigation bar.
You will land on a blank canvas with a toolbar on the left and settings on the right.
Drag targets, walls, and props from the toolbar onto the canvas.
Use the right panel to set the stage name, scoring type, start position, and procedure text.
Hit Save when you are done. Your stage will appear in the Stage Library.

Exploring the Stage Library

The Stage Library is where all your stages live. You can also browse stages shared by other users in the Community tab. Use the filters to search by scoring type, target count, or keywords.
