Seems reasonable, and if this is what it takes to keep the ability to have Matches, then it makes sense. And I do agree with the fact that the Action Shooting needs the Range, not the other way around. Hard to have a Match without a range. And it is not like any USPSA Match is a big money maker for the Range, considering the low price to participate.
Here is the snapshot from the video;
Go take a look at the newly installed baffles on the pistol range- less than two months old and already filled with holes. There appear to be a number of incompetent morons or malicious jackasses abusing this facility to the extent that it's not unreasonable to expect that rounds are leaving the range. Unfortunately, we all end up paying for this abuse by having to follow seemingly ridiculous safety protocols.
- You can do a fast and effective reload with anything you want without pointing it over the berm. It may be slightly slower but if that is the rule for the competition than the playing field is level and that is all a competitor can ask for. I understand that a lot of people are upset that the hours and money they spent working on a muzzle high reload will now be a liability until they retrain. I have also noted that a lot of high level competitors will frequently keep the muzzle low in a reload during movement already.
Based on my match results at major 3 gun matches I am only 70% as fast/good as the top level competitors on my best days, but I can pretty much guarantee that my muzzle low reload will not be so much slower than their muzzle high reload as to account for the differences in the scores and make no realistic difference in a self defense setting. My 2cents.
