I wonder how many "mikes" has been caused by people thinking some points are for free
Like Jake said, you read me wrong (or, more likely, I didn't post clearly).
The targets in the picture might not be the best example. What I meant was that "close/easy" targets...those are targets I want to make sure I get Alpha hits on...as it isn't hard to do.
Many will look a t a close/easy target and think "speed".
Yeah, that's clear. Sure, at 3 meters it's easier to get Alphas on those targets. Unfortunately, a lot of those targets were at quite large distances.
But, no matter what the distance is, the fact remains that an A-zone like that is less than 3" wide, and right at the edge of a target. Minor shooters in anything but Production will have to take significant risks or accept a couple of charlies when going through courses like that at a competitive speed. It's just less risky to blaze at the A/C line with Major on those targets. The target then changes to twice the width. And you know the scoring method. With every double Charlie target I get, Mats will have to score one A and one C.
I'd rather have them cut up targets horizontally, or just have then expose the A/C zone. hehe. Ah, well, its all part of the test, right?
And, Mats, I DO think you will benefit from all of this. Once you get your Major gun, you will know how to punch holes in the A-zone. Something a lot of shooters never get
