The ultimate goal should be to bring everyone out of their comfort zone. To push every level of shooter past their abilities, but at the same time have fun doing it.
In general, most individuals rebuke change. They get used to one way of doing things and when those parameters change... they get upset. The marksmanship arena is no different. On occasion you will find the people who are used to shooting in only NRA matches, for example, and then their brought out of their comfort zone in tactical comps, they blame the weather, ammo, or other things because they didn't shoot as good as they think they should have.
Please let it be known that I'm not knocking NRA style matches. They are fun and very useful to perfect static skills, but tactical comps should push each shooter to their limits concerning real life scenarios. The world is constantly evolving... so should our limits of ability.
Sorry if I got off track here. I know I went on a tangent a bit..LOL.

Chris,
I am with you 100%.
The end goal of all tactical precision matches should not be the shooting aspect at all.
The end goal is problem solving.
What skill set should I use in this situation? What I like to do, is give the worst case situation, worst case position to shoot in, and show the shooter, this is not ideal, but works.
