It also depends on whether you are just 'playing a game' or doing it 'like the real thing'. Jim Cirillo went through an IPSC match like it was the real thing . The others laughed at him !

They were clueless ,just playing a game .Cirillo had been through a good number of shootouts and won each of them . So who were the fools ??
While winning "a good number" of shootouts would be #1 on my list (above loosing any) and far from foolish. I do think its foolish to go play a game and turn it into something it isn't (thats why the folks that won were laughing at him). "The real thing" in USPSA/IPSC is run and gun shooting as fast as you can, accurately, at targets that are not white. There is no way to tell what "the real thing" would/could be in a shootout, or thoes who lose (on both sides) would stop having them.
