    The fact that they used it as a 180 trap was the BS. It was bullshit and the response was "Hey the stage is as built". I dunno if that implies it was intentional or not.

    In the past one of our local MD's would build stages with difficult upward movement (he was IPSC-oriented vs USPSA oriented) and he certainly relished "catching a few newer people".

    One of the reasons I took control of the club and started changing things...
    New to USPSA, but what does "he was IPSC oriented vs. USPSA oriented" mean?

    Yeah if there's people actually salivating like that looking for 180 DQs on shitty designs they need to be ejected into the sun and never RO again.

    Yeah - my approach is to help them re-learn things... The goal is to build the tribe, sometimes MF's need a noggin-knocking to help them see the light.
    It is way easier to do with subterfuge then not... At least at the local level.

    Nationally? You're always going to have one of those RO's... Pay attention to them, not just the stage/shooter/etc... Are the RO's dickish? How long before they press the buzzer?

    IPSC does far more "retreating movement" and tough technical positions than USPSA... It isn't tougher, necessarily, but it can be jarring to some of the people that get used to doing things the USPSA, "FORWARD! FORWARD! FORWARD!" mentality/approach.

    Interesting. IPSC must be French.
