When scoring stage 1 of the classifier, suppose there are ten hits on a target, but only two head shots on the target. How is this scored, assuming the RO did not see which shot was the missed head shot? Thank you.

You should be pasting after string 4 to avoid that type of confusion.

+1 on Rob's answer. You either need to paste or remember where the required head shots hit. Otherwise, your just guessing. SO error - reshoot.

Yes, after String 4 anything outside the head gets pasted before you move on to String 5.
Pride and fear are emotions, which hope for an outcome. Outcomes take your attention from the present, where the shooting happens, to the future. It is totally impossible to do anything in the future, because it hasn't happened yet. The key to shooting your best is to be present as the witness of the shooting. Do not judge, do not give yourself anything to live up to. We can only shoot as well as we have trained ourselves to shoot. To try to shoot only induces stress. Be content with your current ability. And accumulate practice to improve that ability. Consolidate, build strength where you feel weakness. We cannot raise our ability until we accept our current limitations. Practice dissolves limitations. Matches simply define where the current limits exist. The game of shooting is all about redefining our limits.

when you score stage one, there should be ten hits on target, 7 to the body, 3 to the head.
in the case of only 2 head shots, you would be scored down five. the stage description calls for three head shots.

rulebook pg45
shots that are specified for the head that are shot below the neck line are to be counted as misses.

To clarify: Following string 4, you paste ONLY LOW HEADS THAT WERE PULLED DOWN INTO THE BODY. Nothing else.
The truth is that there is no choice between the two. You line the sights up in the A-zone and let it fly at the absolute soonest moment that you see what your experience tells you will put the hole where you're aiming it using the amount of trigger control you need to keep the gun lined up in that spot. There is no concern about accuracy or speed - either one is an illusion from behind the gun. There's "where do I want to hit" and "is the gun lined up there or not"... followed up with "did the sights lift from where I wanted to hit". To assign an "either/or" to the equation is to deny the fact that the gun can be shot ridiculously fast while shooting all As - but it won't be done while you're determined that one must be sacrificed for the other - and it also has the amusing side effect of pressuring the shooter to ignore "the shooting" in the name of "the speed" - XRe
