When I was an active 3-Gun competitor I tried to design stages that didn't allow for much "gamesmanship." Present the problem and solve it on the spot. Too many times I'd see competitors planning their every move, closing their eyes, visualizing the exact sequence—seemed too divorced from the reality that 3-Gun was originally supposed to recreate. Certainly the "gamesmanship" approach did develop certain skill sets, but I enjoyed the problem solving more than how fast I could empty a space gun.
In that context I wonder, do professional XLR shooters wear bags? Do they hang bags off their rifles? For that matter, do they use bipods?
As best I can discern as a non-professional shooter, professional XLR shooters use bags and bipods to improvise the necessary positions, but do not wear or hang their bags. Am I right or wrong on that?
Where does "real world" cross into "gamesmanship"?
