I think it would be hardest, and most frustrating on entry level shooters. I could care less as a M, because I worry more about A's than misses, but as a begining shooter it could be really frustrating, if you get more than a couple misses and you would pretty much zero a lot of stages. I think the scoring is fine the way it is and think people should use samller targets to make sure people can shoot strait instead of stiffer penalties. The way it is, you can afford to push the envelope of performace, and with a 25 point penalty per miss, it would be more like IDPA's scoring where speed isn't really that important.
