IPSC World Shoot

If anything, many of the target arrays tended to suck you in to thinking they were easier than they were. There were a lot of miscalculations in that respect and lots of personal disasters. Overall, I thought it was a nice mix of technical shooting and pure speed.

Anyone who thinks pass-over swingers can be hosed needs a reality check. There were a lot of swingers, none of them apex.

ETA: I'm not a huge fan of "sniper" matches. The idea of just grinding out points and never being able to kick in the after-burners is boring to me. Mix it up!

My feeling too.
 
Oh, I disagree with that. It wasn't the "sniper" matches often offered in Europe, but there was plenty of opportunities to miss or tag a no shoot.
The Open Winner himself had misses. I shot with Angus. He was happy it wasn't the sniper stages, he though it was a good balance.

Sorry I should have said in comparison to other worlds or the european matches. There's always the opportunity to miss targets whether they are at 5m or 50m. My point was if you push the targets further back it changes the number of C's and D's and therefore the difference between major and minor.
 
Pat's just tired of being beaten by production shooters so he wants targets at a farther, more open friendly distance...
I'm on to you..
 
Eugene, would Eric have won just the WS with major scoring?
In talking to Eric previously about his switch from Open to PD he said he changed very little of how he breaks down a stage other than mag changes, speed, cadence, etc are all pretty much the same except for on some movers, he said some of those he had to change up a bit. So given that, really, it's all the shooter and very little to do with the gun at all, regardless of dot, if your eyes are good of course.
