[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3309116, member: 5316"] No, they usually fall apart when pushed for speed or stress is introduced. I see it all the time in various competitions. Man vs Man bowling pin matches is the best place to observe it. The next is to watch people that are used to shooting PAR timed matches shoot one that is Hit-Factor based. Par time means they have say 15 seconds to shoot 10 rounds. Hit-factor divides the score by the time in seconds it took to shoot it. Unless the Par is extremely short, it does not put enough stress on the shooter to validate their abilities. I know of several shooters that do very well at generous PAR based events that finish way lower in the ranks at hit-factor scored events. The first person that put accurate or semi accurate hit(s) on their intended target usually wins the gunfight. I recently attended a match where they had a stage where there were 9 targets in row and only the A zone counted (about 6”x11”) as a hit. Distance was about 3 yards. You had to draw, engage the center 3 targets 2 rounds each, reload and engage the right 3, reload and engage the left 3. 5 point for hits, a penalty for misses. The winner overall had 100% hits in 10.80 second with a production gun, not a race gun. That was against carry optic guns, open guns, and even PCCs. There were a few with faster times (fastest was 9.95) but a miss was critical. As it should be, as where did that round go? The winner knew the pace he had to run it and still make the hits. 18 rounds, a draw, and 2 reloads, in less than 11 seconds. It’s all about knowing your abilities and limitations when stress in introduced. I know for a fact the winner in the above match is capable of knocking a second or two off that pace, but might risk a miss. A miss could be costly. Here were the top 9 of about 40 shooters.
