Screwing up a stage is sometimes beneficial in strange ways. I totally missed an armed BG target in a low light stage because the slow deterioriation of my vision with my cataracts had sneaked up on me. I didn't use my flashlight as I thought I could see well enough. But the BG target had a black gun against a black shirt. So I'm dead and feeling like a complete idiot.
So, I had surgery in a reasonably quick time. But I dwelled on the failure for a bit - until I realized that it was a good thing.
Got killed again a couple of weeks ago when I knew better and saw it coming. Some social pressure led me into a trap - dumb. Dumb!
Learning. At the NTI, one lesson was don't whine. If you screw up learn. I like my IDPA group as we are very supportive of idiocy (assuming it isn't dangerous, of course). Load an empty mag, shoot out of order, etc.
