Yeah, I'm in the camp that was trained, "matches are lost on your belly and won on your feet."
It's philosophical, of course - all of the points matter, but NOBODY drops many points on the prone stages, so pooching the prone and sitting/kneeling stages will cost someone a match, but we really can't get ahead of the field there... the whole field shoots well there, so there's no room to take a lead. BUT... Everyone struggles on the offhand stage, so there's a lot more room to stand tall and pick up a lead.
Another way of saying it, "don't #@&% up on your belly, and go kick &%$ on your feet".
