Appreciate all of you have helped give advice and point me in the right direction.
Went to the Competition Shooting Safety Class at Yolo today with Ryan, Francisco, Bill & Ron (great bunch of guys).
Ran 3 different stages, brought out the Sand Viper, great times, can't wait to get to my first match!
Help me out with Hit Factor, I'll use the simplest stage. 4 targets at 5-7 yards, draw, 2 on each target, mandatory reload, then transition & 2 more on each target with weak hand unsupported (Thank sweet baby Jesus I saw this was a thing and have practiced via dry fire).
I ran a 14.02 second run and hit all alphas, which would be 80 points. 80/14.02 = 5.71 HF?
One of the instructors ran it in 12.82, but had a good mix of Alpha/Charlie and one Delta, so I poked a little fun.
All in all a great time, shot about 100 rounds and had more fun than shooting 800 rounds at the static range by far.
Now I'm going to try to get my local indoor range in on it (hopefully) fingers crossed.
If anyone is close to Sacramento that wants to help me talk The Gun Range into getting some of these events, please do! I've already spoke with Sam about it and he seemed open to the idea. Just would need to make it make sense for everyone involved obviously.

and end up with a low hit factor, the middle of the pack generally goes fast but is less accurate sometimes downright wild but can be super fast, then the top 10-20 will be guys that are both fast and accurate. You don't need all alphas to win but you do need no mikes and no no shoots, those will completely ruin the score. But getting 2-3 charlies out of 32 shots would be solid if you can do it super fast and will likely score better than 32 alphas but several seconds slower. For instance: two alphas and two charlies is 16 points, if you do that in 3 seconds it's 5.3 hit factor, if you get all alphas but do it in 4 seconds it's 20/4 = 5 hit factor. It is NOT hard to take an extra second when you are talking about a 10-15 yard partial with a no shoot covering most of the A zone, but it's likely you will score better if you aim for the headbox and get a few charlies and a few alphas vs all alphas if it means you can do it faster.
