For example, stages that require 3 shots per target. You engage 3 targets and by luck of the draw (my luck of course) you get a -0 and 2 misses on each of the 3 targets. You have satisfied the 4 points per target to avoid a FTN, however the stats personnel, who may not be familiar with the courses, assess you a FTN for each target that is -10. Imagine the confusion and turmoil that would induce!!

Corky, you are exactly correct. My example was for a stage that required 2 shots and was -10. And the possiblity of such confusion is why we normally give everyone a pass on the FTN if we suspect that one SO is "head up and locked."
