i have been playing the monthly IDPA match at my favorite club for many years. i will work the timer or clearing table at most matches. background so as to put my request in perspective:
i asked the RO if i could run the match snap-shots and point shooting only and not be DQ'ed.
he said to play proper in the queue and than go again like that after all had shot.
when the range is just me or with friends, i train shooting and moving and not really conciously aiming. i seldom do not miss or by much. 1st pass had me 4th or 5th of the 27 that played that day. places 1 & 2 went as always to the 2 young men who are sponsered. when they play, the rest of us good naturedly consider 3rd to be tops.
anyways, my 'for fun' run was faster but i had 2 7's when ua need 8 on the cardboards. that was 10 seconds of penality.
i ended in the same position though.
it was a fun day using real SD equipment.
