In IPSC, you get a "miss" penalty for not having two scoring hits on the target (unless the stage course of fire says otherwise); if you don't have ANY hits on the target, and the RO says that you didn't fire at the target, then you get 2 "Mikes" (-10 each) AND a "Procedural" penalty for failing to engage that target. I RO and shoot IPSC, but haven't done anything in IDPA.
