Mental Mistakes......

[AggieMM]

Grrr, too many today.

I MD'd a match today (IDPA, Copperas Cove Pistol Club, Texas). To make the shooters think, I had 3 targets (1 way right, 2 way left) that I required them to do Tactical Sequence (aka 1-1-2-1-1). I've been reviewing the stages for months, did the walk through, told the shooters SEVERAL times to make sure they shoot each one once before you give them a second shot. Re-read the stage description, thought 1-1-2-1-1 in my head. and then "BEEEEEEP", I double tap the first target. PE, ARGH!!!!!

And then on another stage, I warned the shooters during the walk through to shoot the steel on the move, don't stop, or we'll give you a PE. Remember, I wrote the stage. And guess what I did? Yup, stopped and shot the steel. PE. ARGH!!!!!!

You think the MD would know better.........

It's become sort of a running joke with me and our IDPA Club (and applies to our USPSA matches as well),: if you design it , you will zeroe it, PE it, or in some other way demonstrate that you lost the connection somewhere between the time you conceived it and the time you shot it.
