How many times is over shooting?

[JUGGAJOSH]

At a recent big game A guy came out of some bushes and I shot him five times. Well, he got all mad and flipped me off, so i thought i'd ask how many times would you consider over shooting, assuming they are not standing right in front of you, at least 25 feet away. Less than six is ok with me. If you shoot me 7 or 8 times I'll get a little irritated 9 or more and I'd get mad

well people tend to fire unknowingly in bursts of 2,3,and 4. Everytime i snap shoot i tend to blast off 3 because thats just how my fingers move. I'd say six or more is overshooting just because no one fires at an open target more than 5 times without trying to hurt the person.

Well, technically you only need to be hit once to get out Therefore everything over 1 would be overshooting.. but I dont mind overshooting unless its around 5 shots and up(I voted for 4 but I think five is more fair)

when bunkering, its good to put 2 or 3 on a guy, even though you know 1 will hit, mainly because if someone was bunkering me and i only felt 1 hit, i would turn around and shoot anyway because that 1 may have bounced, whereas if i felt 3, its pretty much certain something broke. However Ive one shotted people when there is a ref right there to pull them, so its all relative

This brings up an interesting point. What do you do when YOU are the person being shot? The last time I played in the woods, I flanked a guy and shot 3 times and stopped. Well he sat there for 20 seconds and started to look himself over. So after a pause, I took one more shot straight to his belt and that's when he started to yell obscenities, that he was "out" etc. My point is if you don't start putting your gun up and your barrel condom on, do you deserve some charity time to check yourself or should you opponent feel free to make sure you are out with an additional shot(s)?

Opinions?

[i like tictacs]

shoot them till you see it break. and/or thheir hand goes up if theyre running

[RenagadeOfFunk]

once you hit stop pulling the trigger...anythng over is over....over is over wow...that makes sence...

10 times is about my max before I Get pissed...

EDIT: On a similar note, when I shoot refs, unless they are bad refs, I always yell out sorry ref, and usually do the same for players at the nd of a game, even if it was accidental.

*whistles* in the background

i'll paint you like a canvas if you make me mad.. the only time i ever over shot was when this one guy shot me in the back of the head from 2 feet away

I said three, but that's assuming everything breaks. I feel that you should know where you're shooting and you should stop as soon as you see a break. If you've got an angle on someone, you know if you're going to hit them or not and if you don't have an angle, they should be able to get out of the way to check themselves and call out.

I usually don't get pissed off about overshooting unless it happens on a consistent basis by the same person.

i think u need a vote that says overshooting whast that. cause if u wine about getting shot 7 times its pretty bad

[cris8762]

i voted 6, but if it's a tourney and there's a bunkering situation or ur running into a lane, 10 is about right

if someone trys to turn on me as i bunker them i make sure they get a couple extra in the neck area.......

I dont know what kind of tourney ball you play where 10 shots is necessary for a bunker... very twibbish lack of self control if you let that many balls fly
