Just to be clear: Everyone works to be as objective and fair as possible. I have only ever met one SO that I thought was biased. Not going to say who it is, and I have shot dozens of sanctioned matches.

That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state;
I've discovered that quoting the "benefit of the doubt goes to the shooter" rule usually gets my doubles called as a miss on one. There are good SO's and there are folks that have an SO certification and an attitude... It's a good thing I don't care about being competitive anymore.

I did that in an IDPA match on a close target. Bang, bang - and there was one hole! Darn - bang - still one hole. The SO is cracking up - he said : You've put two through the original. Now why didn't the SO see that last Saturday when on a very long distance target with two shots there was one perfect zero hole? Hmm?
Actually, on one target there were three touching. Don't ask about the other target - that guy went off to get a beer.
Must be going around; I did it on the first ring of Dot Torture today from five yards. I can't prove it, and there's almost no ovoid shape to the hole, but I called that shot a good hit and I'd have had to miss the entire backer, because it was clean.
Reminds me of shooting bows with my cousin when I was a kid; we'd proudly tell people we split arrows from time to time. We felt it went without saying that we weren't aiming at the arrows, just shooting a lot of them into a fairly small target . . . so we didn't mention it.
