That's what I was afraid of, (speed, over accuracy).

That's fine if they want to make it a speed thing, as long as they make the targets smaller, such as using a bowling pin instead of a full silhouette.

Shooting that fast and getting "hits" on a silhouette doesn't impress me, especially when dressed for a day on the driving range.

Is there such a match that has the competitors get in full kit, use small and fleeting targets, production firearms - no mods, or better yet; issue firearms only (M9, M11, etc.,)? That is something realistic, and a match I'd be very interested in participating in. Maybe it's too difficult for most people. IDK.

The shooter could start out, strapped into a hummvee roll over drill mock up, in full kit. Start the timer when the hummvee completes its roll over, after the fire suppression system kicks on. The shooter has to exit the vehicle (he is strapped in, upside down) and then engage three targets and then move to along a 50M route to another humvee (with some engagements enroute) where he links up with the other crew and the time ends, that could be one stage. Score is based on time and hits. All targets are small, bowling pins and 1/4 silhouettes (head and shoulders), and/or partial targets.

That'd be a kick.
