I've been shooting IDPA for about a year and struggle with the order of target engagement by the rules.
Stage 1: What order do I engage the targets? It doesn't seem like the brief gives enough information to determine if I'm sitting in an open window and can see all the targets or I must slice the pie. It seems this might be straight Tactical Priority, but then it also seems like group T1/T3 and group T2/T4 are within 2 yards of each other so I can shoot each group in whatever order I want, i.e., T1/T3 -OR- T3/T1 and T4/T2 -OR- T2/T4.
Stage 2: Again, what order do I engage the targets? The brief says to open the door and engage T3, but it seems that I'll see T2, first, then engage T3, T4 and T5 then, by slicing the pie from the left wall, engage T6, the popper in the upper right and then T7 by slicing back to the left.
happy shooting, dv
