It was kind of a fluke but I'll take it. I only actually won 2 of 10 stages. The others I placed around 5th and as poorly as 24th (out of 75ish shooters). but the one I won, I won big and it made up for the rest. The stage was 3 shooting boxes: left had a plate rack, center had a steel lollipop you had to hit 4 times, and the right was another plate rack with tiny pepper poppers instead of plates.
there was the option of shooting strong hand only for a one second bonus for each hit SHO, and weak hand only for a 2 second bonus.
Judging by the typically fast guys' scores, they opted to just shoot it all freestyle and go fast, with about 14-17 seconds time for the stage. I shot the first plate rack (6 plates) and the center lollipop (which had to be engaged before and after the rightmost rack) weak hand, for a total of 14 hits WHO and a 28 second bonus, so my total time for the stage was 3 seconds.
I won the match... next shooter was 6 seconds back. I was shooting Open division, with a S&W M&P CORE 9L, RMR dot, and taylor freelance 28 round mag. No other mods. IDPA-legal Safariland belt-slide OWB holster. Local match, not sanctioned USPSA or anything.
I'd won my division in a Man-vs-Man handgun match before and placed first in a couple 3-guns in Heavy division (with zero or maybe 2 other shooters in the division), but hadn't taken first overall before.
