I don't want anyone to be insulted. That is not my goal in this post.
I have been observing (on a very casual basis) shooting competitions at Harvard. Having watched these competitions, I observe stages that do not stress tactics, or at least there is no emphasis on real world tactics. For example, speed and accuracy are stressed but seeking appropriate cover properly, is not. Sure as part of one of these shooting stages you may need to get behind a barricade, but are you penalized for not having the maximum amount of your body behind cover? I believe shooting in these events condition one to jepoardize their own safety in the event of real world gunfights, and that is my biggest reason for not competing in them.
So I guess my question is, is there a shooting league/format that is more real world based?
Again, I hope no one is offended, that isn't my intention.
