  1. I didn't say a good time, I said a reasonable time.. To me a reasonable time is less than the penalties you will get if you don't hit any of the targets. I bet 70% of the shooters in that match couldn't have hit all 6 of those slug targets in the 60 seconds of penalties they get for not hitting any of them.

    You say "shame on the gamers", I call BS on that whole line of thought. There was a correct order you had to engage, but with targets that close at 60 yards there was no way to tell if they were engaged in that order. The whole stage was bad. I am pretty sure if you did any of those other things you mentioned in a major match people would be just as upset. Stump the chump crap like that is great for club matches, which are basically organized practice sessions. Anything that requires luck over skill doesn't belong in a major match, in my humble opinion. 3 Gun isn't an MOA game, and surely not with shotgun slugs that don't shoot with MOA accuracy anyway. I am going to game any stage that I can, that is part of the game. That FTDR BS is why I don't shoot IDPA.

    Whatever, I enjoyed 7 of the 8 stages we shot and had fun shooting with the squad of great shooters I was on.

    This. Design the stage so that "gaming" it doesn't gain anything, otherwise, shooters will game it. As for me, since I'm a 3-gun newbie, I slugged away and away and away until I figured I'd just take the penelty for the last three I didn't hit.
