I'm still relatively new to 3G and was shooting well in last weekend's match right up to the last COF. It was a group of 18 different sized steel targets hanging from 75-200 yds out AND at different heights (can you see where this is going). Instead of taking my time to verify that all the swingers were moving after being hit and waiting for the RO's "If you are through unload and show me clear" command I proudly rolled to my side and dropped the mag and racked the bolt open after I thought that I had just cleared the entire stage. At that point he asked "IF you are through" and something in his voice got me thinking and sure enough there were 3 targets that were at a lower plane than the others and I just blown right over in my hast to get done. I think it might have been a toss up on the penalties for 3 FTE's vs the time it took me to get my stuff back together and engage the last three targets but I did and lesson learned...
Kinda like the two Bulls, the young one that wanted to run down the hill and "visit" some of the cows vs. the old bull that was just going to walk down the hill and "visit" them ALL

Funny but true. This could use a bump. I had a similar situation in a club IDPA match. I never drop the striker or hammer at unload and show clear at my feet or roughly low ready. I normally point eye level at the berm. Just happened to be the one target I transitioned by that the gun went click on...
