Stop it at 1:49 BUT, I am just busting his stones. He looks like he had a good day
No video of you guys shooting the classifier? how convenient...
Yeah, I may have got away with one there. I could feel the fault line under my foot, so I knew I was on it, but it's quite possible I touched down outside. Good thing video evidence isn't admissible. I had a mostly solid day. Mental error on stage 6, and I dropped too many Cs and Ds. 87% of the points just isn't enough. No mikes/noshoots though.
It was our last stage and we were the last in our squad to shoot it. Since it was a table start I'd already bagged my gun and put most of my gear away. I'm glad mine isn't on video since I zero'd it.
Penalty per shot fired.... That's just mean
I'd like to see video of the guy who won the overall. I swear all his times are half of mine.

Then you had two procedurals on stage 3. you ususally earn these for shooting something from somewhere you weren't supposed to, e.g. "all steel must be shot from within this box" and you shoot the steel from outside that box. another common one is if you have your foot on a fault line and you end up taking shots with your foot touching the ground on the outside of that line. this time it's a -10pt penalty but you keep the points from the hits.

I failed to engage a target, just brain fart skipped the damn thing...
So is it -10 for the no points, and another -10 for not engaging it then ?
Roscoe, we're u in squad 5?
The points system sounds complicated at first but it's not all that hard. you can see your entire match on the uspsa.org website under the "Match Results" section. use this link to get to the match and then punch in your USPSA number with no dash. I'll say a little about penalties since you brought it up...
it looks like your big problem for the day was misses, you had 3 on that first stage and 6 total on the day. each one got you a -10pt penalty AND you didn't score the points you should have for a hit, so if you're a regular A zone shooter it's a 15 point swing (-10 for the penalty and you didn't earn the 5 you normally would for an A). if the stage calls for 2 on each paper and when you're done there's only 1 hole on a paper target you're either going to try to convince the RO you shot the perfect double or you're taking the MIKE.
On stages 2 and 4 you hit the no shoot (white targets) somewhere along the way, the penalty for which is pretty much the same as the miss. it IS possible to take a penalty for hitting a no shoot and still earn points for a hit but I'm not going to go into that right now, let's leave it at "don't put holes in the no shoot targets"

did that make things easier to understand or did I just make it more confusing?
Yes.
It was a pleasure shooting with you!
