I'm not a fast shooter. In fact, my scores tend towards bottom of pack. But
I tend to be one of the more accurate. And that's fine with me because my
philosophy is basically survival: I'm more interested in ensuring the guy
is down rather than dazzle him with the footwork >;-) So I'm ok with the
new scoring. I was just curious from math perspective cause I'm an engineer

Thanks Bill. It's the story of life....You gotta be accurate and you
gotta be fast! ;)
In USPSA with hit factor scoring you can often times favor speed over
accuracy. Because "time" is the divisor. In IDPA's "time plus" scoring I
can almost never shoot faster than the 'add on time' of a shot out of the
'O' zone. That will be even more true in 2017.
So it's call (just about) every shot in IDPA. Rare are the occasions for
hosing!

--Hi
I'm new to the list. I shoot IDPA at Bradford as well as other clubs
Looking at the new 1 sec down rule, I decided to see how it would affect
our last match (Dec 6). I simply added another 1/2 second to final scores
for everyone (see final two columns). Overall, it didn't make a big deal.
But (not surprisingly), anyone with high amount of downs did move down.
I sent this to Wade, and he suggested I post it.
