Sorry, never responded to your post.

No. The Texas Star is a fairly common prop at USPSA matches, so it is not what I would consider specialized. But at the 2009 State Match in Richmond, we used a Texas Star passing through the edge of a window to simulate people's heads temporarily being visible in the window. This is what I consider a specialized setup, and it would have been inappropriate to use it in a local match in the few months prior to the State Match.

Not at Richmond. That was a prop from Ukiah so I don't know if they used it or not prior to the state match.

Not what I would consider to be a specialized prop.

Built specifically for the match in the days prior to the event. Used after the match, but not before.
