Sky, I'm looking into getting SBP:PE for my birthday coming up.
I was wondering how often you do these 'spartan' matches? I've always been a fan of making things more difficult like you have shown to bring the ease back into the modern systems. if you can work a gun using auxiliary sights, then it's just a babystep or two forward to using the laser rangefinders and thermal imaging equipment.
What would be cool is to see matches using the settings you described still going on.
