    Prices for the match grade 22 are quite hard to get over. But there is quite a difference between that and the cheap stuff.

    That's kinda' how I feel about my rapid defensive shooting. I'm not skilled enough to make a smiley, and that probably wouldn't be fun to defend in court. Why put the rounds in the same hole in a defensive shooting? Spread 'em out a little to improve incapacitation and stop the threat. Besides, if they're going in the same hole, you're probably not shooting fast enough.

    Yep.

    Only the precision guys want one hole in the middle. And all one one target. Boring.

    We did a stage for an IDPA match that had a 25yd rifle shot as part of COF. It was kinda corny but different. With IDPA being pistol game and all, there were a few competitors that pitched a fit and a couple who refused and just skipped it. Instead of enjoying something different and seeing it as challenge or learning task.

    Maybe that's the problem with bolt guns. No double taps.
