"A" Zone Mostly Covered

[Flatland Shooter]

Now the below average, risk adverse shooter speaks out.

It seems that a lot of the stages I shoot locally have a hit factor (HF) around 7.0. That's 7 points per second.

A miss instead of a "C" hit is a loss of 14 points. In other words, if you rush to get that "A" hit and miss, I have 2 additional seconds (14 pts divided by 7 HF) to make my "C" shot. Under 2 seconds and I beat you. Add in a no-shoot, you are looking at -24 points versus 3.4 seconds.

Now look at the time benefit of shooting an "A" versus a "C". On the same 7.0 HF stage, that's 1 point for 0.14 seconds. If you can improve your score with an "A" at a time cost of less than 14/100th of a second, you come out ahead.

At least this is my point of view.
