we shot our first local match sunday under the new rules. used a template to create the new 4 inch diameter zero down head zone, and applied the 1 second per point rule as well.
had 5 stages, 21 shooters total, a good mix, mostly MM, few SS and EX too.
from looking at the final scores, the fastest shooter did not win, nor did the most accurate, but a good combination of speed and accuracy took the day.
winner was second fastest, and was 6th most accurate.
fastest shooter had more points down than his raw time, putting him 2nd overall.
i came in 3rd overall, with 4th fastest time and 5th most accurate.
most accurate was 5th overall, as he had the 17th best time (he took too long to get accurate shots).
so you need to find your balance of speed and accuracy.
will be interesting to see how the new rules affect other matches during the year.
