Fear not the sword. Fear the hand that wields it. Fear not the armor. Fear the heart that lies beneath it!

Soldiers follow orders, warriors follow their heart.

Let's leave well enough alone. It's not a broken system.

Well said!

Exactly!

You seem very over concerned. This is a sport and most of us do it for self pleasure as a way to relax. At the end of the day you need to be responsible for you and realize this is probably one of the safest sports to participate in. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable find the match director and let them make a decision.

USPSA rules are for matches. Matches consist of stages and the areas set up for those stages. That is why the chrono is considered a stage. Any bays that are not being used by the match are not governed by match rules. Nothing you listed applies.

...and I still want a printed book copy of the rules. Some of us still use our flip phones and have tablets with no internet.

I have had great results with the MBX guts so far. I don't losd mags night before a match, I don't let them sit with ammo in them for the ride home from a match. And I don't load full if shooting stages with required reloads. I do shoot 3 matches a month and during the winter and fall months I practice a ton in between the matches. Haven't needed customer service and hope not to need it. Glad to know TTI is an alternative tho.
