IDK, I think you can set up a KYL stage that stays true to the spirit of “know your limits” while not actively taking points off of the board. For example…
Let’s say there is a rack of 5 plates, each smaller than the last. We assign points to each plate; 1 for the biggest, 5 for the smallest, etc. Now, we define a maximum round count for the stage. Let’s go with 6 rounds. Shooter is allowed to shoot at any target or targets on the rack, scoring points for every hit. As 5 points is the highest award for a single target, and 6 is the max # of rounds allowed, the max score for the stage is 30.
BUT, the shooter can only score the max if he only shoots at the most difficult target. Every shot taken at a low-point target reduces the max achievable score. And, because how the targets are shot is not defined by the stage (just the points per target and max shots) it is a conscious decision by the shooter to reduce his score by shooting the easier targets.
Interesting stage that would be fun to shoot but not a KYL. KYL is not just shooting but strategy in knowing when to stop.
