Open is actually about accuracy. Everyone is fast, so speed is a lesser factor.

Every division is about accuracy... The whole concept behind open is shooting faster.

well i would say ALL divisions is also about Speed. The only difference with Open is that everything is magnified. A slight hesitation in your target engagement will drop you two places.

Open: Points > Speed
Limited: Speed = Points (barely)
Production: Points >> Speed (by a lot)
SS: Points = Speed (barely; major most times has an advantage over minor)
Revo: Hits (not points) > Speed > Points

Just my opinion. Open is the hardest division because time is a lesser factor than getting points. The difference between top shooters in open is very small and often a slower time wins because of......POINTS! Of course, this is lesser at smaller clubs/ranges, but equally exaggerated at the big clubs where competition is higher and there are more top tier shooters.

ETA: To clarify, I'm only comparing within the same division as it doesn't matter Open vs. Revo.
