...Now to just get to an event sometime...
I do have a partially finished app to Purdue's ME program for 2014....
Doesn't help (BSEE).
I think the equations and uncertainty principles ("60% is a good score if Schrodingers cat is having a bad hair day") were derived from quantum mechanics though, so maybe if you did something with theoretical physics.
You should have been an engineer. My head is hurting from the over"anal"izing.

LOL...I have told Ryan that too....This time I was referring to Rob
In my 30 years of shooting USPSA I have NEVER considered the Hit Factor on any stage. My only concern is to shoot the stage a fast and accurate as I can. Every stage is different and you will have to find your own comfort zone.
I have shot USPSA twice now. I enjoyed both thoroughly. As for scoring, I am convinced it is done with a Ouja board.

If I have to start doing equations to shoot a match....I quit.
I just attempt to do things as efficiently as I can. Get good hits in the quickest way I can.
It even works sometimes.
If I coud find some time to shoot I might even improve a little.
on this stage, you still shot the same points, even though you went a full second faster. Trying to be deliberate only resulted in a slower time! This is why I'm not a fan of the common advice to not worry about speed, "get your hits and the speed will come" stuff.... get your hits as quick as you can.

I have a little better understanding of the scoring, and how important TIME & Penalties can be. But I have no idea how you guys figure this stuff out BEFORE shooting a match.
Special Thanks to Rhino and RVB for their help![/I]
Well, if I'm reading this correct, no one has answered your question. You want to know how Coach or Rhino or an experienced shooter, say a M or GM can look at a stage and know the HIgh HF, at least real close to it
You don't really need to. The game plan never changes. Shoot accurately as fast as you can, and make that points/second hit-factor ratio as high as possible and let the points fall out on their own.
Do not try to get caught up in what the hit factor is going to be on stage or what this or that is going to cost me
You can play with the bean counters later, when the score sheets actually show that you are competing.

I do not have 30 years in, but I am with Max on this, I have never either, or even thought about what a good time would be on a stage.

I just go and shoot and what ever happens happens
Funny, I don't do that either, but he kinda wanted the "how", so I gave it. I guess there are some analytical types that want and need that info in order to make things right in their heads. Maybe he is one, who knows?
Hope it helped!
Coach also had made a comment during class, where he skipped a drop turner all together, briefly explaining that it would have taken more time to hit it when compared to no penalty for skipping it. This is one of the reasons I made the comment about 'figuring it all about before shooting a match'.
So , you folks don't plan out stuff like points versus time lost on this or that disappearing target ?
