If you want to make shooters engage the head...MAKE them engage the head, don't TELL them. IDPA mandating a headshot robs you of the necessary stimulus to determine that the shot is necessary and problem solve in real time. IDPA Mozambiques are essentially "memory stages"...which that sport prohibits.
Make the shooters engage the head by placement of hard cover, soft cover, and no shoot targets. Not by making them memorize new target engagement rules for a single stage. Another case of the faux-tactics of IDPA...
