Maybe I don't understand. What is the concern about a 4.4 percent DQ percentage? Sounds like the SOs at the match actually enforced the safety rules. If more people got DQed at local matches when they earned it, maybe the percentage would be better at national events. I understand that this is apples and oranges, but the DQ percentage at USPSA national level events is generally between 2.5 and 5 percent, at least over the last couple of years.

No one on earth is reponsible for the direction of your muzzle but you. If you don't feel you can shoot a COF safely, you should decline. This is a big boy game with big boy rules. The fastest way to kill the sport of IDPA is to "child proof" the stages so much that we all stand in a box and shoot at targets at 12:00.
