Excellent points.  I remember MANY times going through a course of fire with a plan, only to have a malfunction of something else happen and the plan goes out the window.  Then at the end of the stage thinking to myself "I pictured that going differently in my mind".  The pressure, even self-induced pressures of shooting matches is something that affects everyone differently.  Where (at least in my opinion) it's good to go through it and see how one reacts.  Trigger freeze, tunnel vision, fumbling things that one thought were "automatic".

notice that not once did he mention a fear of getting flagged or shot or someone having a catastrophic malfunction or "sandbagging"

But did he mention range too far?

Memorable part of the video is Mas saying a shooting match isn't a gunfight,, but a gunfight is a shooting match.

Makes sense put that way.  You're both trying to win, and the better shooter is likely to win.

There's one rule in any gunfight:  There's no prize for second place.
