I don't know about you all, but I really enjoyed this match. I liked shooting each stage two times so I could choose a different approach. I know it helped on stage 1.

Not sure yet how I feel about it... huge fan of no-shoots though.
I did like the opportunity to run the stages twice - I think in most cases my scores did improve on the second run. I did lament the absence of a final 'super stage' though.
Thanks to Todd and Fred for running another great match.

Loved this setup. Thought it was great for new shooters, as there were no move-and-shoots. Enjoyed being able to shoot each stage twice. Got a chance to improve. Thanks to everyone for a great shoot
At first I wasn't sure I liked the idea -- seems like you don't get enough stages. But I really liked getting to do each one twice. I learned a bit, but it wasn't just repetition 'til you gamed it through.
I hope we see this setup again, if not always.

Note that points down and penalties were combined for both runs of a stage, making it difficult to see the difference between your first run and your second. We'll fix that for future matches if folks like the "multiple runs of fewer stages" approach.
There's nothing that would prevent us from doing two short stages (shot twice each) and a final "grand" stage (shot once). There are some issues with the "grand" stage idea altogether, but that's more appropriate discussion for another thread.
Man.. have to love the quick feedback!
Thanks!

I had fun with this one, though I also kinda miss the "super stage" and the "shoot'n'scoot" that such stages require. I also got video of my run:
Thanks to everyone, again!
Disappointed I missed this, working the graveyard shift. Congrats to Todd and James as usual, hope to make the next one.
I like the first stage where the other squad members couldn't see the shooter. You don't really know how they ran it, and the issues with their approach, so it makes you think harder about your plan.
