Here is my video from the weekly match at West Coast Armory 9/6/11.

They ran two stages tonight both with the lights on. I forgot to engage one target on the first stage. Cost me 10 seconds on my time, enough to put me from 2nd overall to 9th overall...

The scoring does go from top to bottom. I am right under you on the scores.

The columns are:

Time 1 and 2: The times you completed stages 1 and 2

Raw Time: Time for 1 and 2 added together.

PD 1 and 2: Points Down for stages 1 and 2

Total: Your Points Down converted to time. Each point down = .5 seconds, take your total points down multiply by .5 and you should get the number in this column.

PE Total: Total time of your Procedural Errors, each Procedural adds 3 seconds to your time. If you see a 3 in this column then you had 1 Procedural Error, 6=2 PE's and so on.

NS Total: Total time of your No Shoots Targets (Grand Ma). Each NS adds 5 seconds to your time.

FTN Total: Total time of your Failure-to-Neutralize. Each FTN adds 5 seconds to your time. An FTN is given when a target does not have at least 1 hit in the -1 or -0 zone.

Total Score: The final score after adding raw time, PD and any PE, NS and FTN. Lowest number wins.


My score was 51.79. I had 10 seconds added because I forgot that last target on stage 1. It required 2 hits on it, it didn't have anything because I forgot about it. So thats 2 misses each miss = 5 points down, 10 points down times .5 = 5 seconds added to my time. I also got a FTN on that target because there was no hit in the -1 or -0 area. 1 FTN = 5 seconds added.

So because I forgot that target it cost me 10 seconds just on that one target! If I didn't forget it my score would have been 41.79, good enough for 2nd place.

So it seems speed is more important than accuracy? I kinda thought the top guys would all shoot perfect scores, and it would be a question of speed after that. But if I'm reading it right, you and one other guy were the only ones to shoot a stage clean?

It would be nice if there was a way to figure out what class everyone was shooting in. Makes me want to go buy another gun to shoot one of the 10rnd classes.

Had lots of fun again. See you next week.

Thats the BIG question, speed vs accuracy. You have to shoot fast but you also have to get good hits. I think good hits are no more then -2 down on each target. If you are constantly getting -0 down all the time then you are shooting too slow. As you can see its possible to shoot really fast and have a bunch of point down but still get a good score. The catch is you can't have too many points down. Thats where the speed vs accuracy come in. Its going to be different for everyone.

Sometimes they do put the Divisions and Classification on the score sheet. But they don't do it every time. I'm going to ask them to do that all the time, I like to see it too.
