Carry optics, are my expectations ridiculous?

We had a very good local shooter a few years back that was dedicated to using and improving his every day carry gear and skills. He was able to make Master in Limited shooting Minor from concealed appendix carry, we all believed that he would have made GM reasonably easily if he had shot major with exposed mag pouches. That said for a few years he was the local heat in Limited and pushed some of the M class open shooters, but at L2+ matches his finishes in Limited suffered due to the scoring advantage of Major and a deeper pool of talent.  


You can just say “Gabe White,” lots of us know of him!

Usually, Major Vs minor scoring will result in a 5-7% difference in the overall score when shooting around 90-92% of points. The more alphas you shoot the less major scoring matters. The shorter the stage, the more appendix will hurt you. More stages in the 24-30 round range will result in more reloads for you compared to open shooters. A lot of this will come down to stage design. Lets not forget unloaded starts as well. 

 

When skill is equal, open wins every time.

Is this because with more stages to shoot, the separation increases?

more opportunities for the scoring difference major to minor to add up

a big thing is also having more high level shooters at a match that are shooting at their best vs possibly just hanging out having fun at a local
