Open is alive and well in Texas. If you're in a 10 round state Open 10 doesn't sound like much fun.
IMHO USPSA has something for everyone. From Production to Open you can spend 3 or 400 dollars to 5000 plus. I think that makes it interesting. For my part I have at least one of each for each division and I've come to shoot. 32 round stages are great. When our local clubs do have a short stage, less than 24 rounds, I feel cheated, but I don't complain, I just think it's all great.
