SJBriggs Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I was recently told at a local match that reloading from a magnetic pouch in Limited Division will get a competitor bumped up to Open Division. I couldn't find this anywhere in the USPSA rule book. Any truth to this, or was I just given some bad info? Thanks in advance, Sammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Jones Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Bad rules information is USPSA's version of the virus. It is contagious, going from human to human. The only vaccine is the rulebook. An occasional booster shot is always helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davsco Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 as with anything else, who told you this, and ask them to quote the rule or show it to you in the rulebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schutzenmeister Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 However … They ARE prohibited in Production, Single Stack, and Carry Optics. (See the appendices for those divisions …) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyScuba Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I got this same advice from a “friend” too over and over whenever we saw him at a match. He’s the kind of guy who whips out the overlay for a club fun match, *sigh*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Open rulebook, Ctrl+F, "magnet", press enter Once you know your way around the rulebook and know some of the keywords in some of the rules it's easy to go back and find certain things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver123 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I have no problem with a guy that whips out an overlay for a club match. That's exactly what should be done. The rules apply to every level of a match. Not to mention if you ever shoot a higher tier match and you have been following the rules then there is no surprises.

waktasz Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Now that I think about it, the only thing you will find that way is that you CAN'T retain mags by magnetic means in Production, CO and Single Stack. You have to assume that means you CAN in Limited/Open/etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
