Comments in the IDPA thread about time spent shooting in a match versus time spent standing around waiting to shoot made me think about something else: How enjoyable is the shooting game in question to watch when you're not shooting?
For example, a benchrest or high power match wouldn't compare very favorably with a paint drying race in the spectator giggles department, while metallic silhouette shooting at least offers some visual indication of what's going on. At the other extreme, heads-up bowling pin matches, with two shooters trying to clear a table faster than the other, are almost as fun to watch as they are to shoot.
How does this translate to the enjoyment of the various action pistol games for you? Is it a factor?
ETA: D'oh! Wrong subforum. Should be in the Competition one.
