I like the gotcha stages if that is what were going to call them. But that is why i like USPSA over IDPA, I am also a thinker and work things out in my head long before the buzzer. I find it you realy study the stage on the walk through its easy, if you have a 32 round count stage when you are figuring out your reload points you should be counting shots, make sure they match up to 32 rounds, than hit your reload spots during the COF and you should be good.
