  1. The OP would hate my matches. While there are certainly more, I consider practical shooting to have at least six key components that aren't readily found at the local public shooting range:

    1. Weak hand

    2. Strong hand only

    3. Distance shots (25+ yds)

    4. Prone

    5. Kneeling

    6. Targets that move (swingers, pop-ups, drop turners, etc.)

    Our IDPA matches typically have six stages and I try to get at least four of them in each match. I agree with previous posters and usually make kneeling and/or prone the last position in the string so as to try and level the playing field.

    My reasons for making these "hard stages" is that when you go to the big matches they're likely have all of these elements included, once you're used to shooting in these configurations you've added a skill that could be helpful in real life, and most important, it's fun!

  2. I downloaded it two days ago and used it yesterday, great job, it works like a champ, thanks!

    If you're looking for suggestions (I've done a very small amount of programming in my day and you can get tired of good ideas and suggestions very quickly, so if you've stopped reading I understand), I have two.

    1. I would get rid of the blue bar and put all of them under the menu or options key like most other android programs use.

    2. It would be great if I could keep track of multiple strings of times and then email them all in a bunch. This suggestion is probably more for those who use a timer during practice rather than just for matches.

    If you do absolutely nothing you'll still have created a great program and I appreciate it.
