Holy Crap! maybe I'll find a USPSA match to go to instead.

some major BS I can't fire my pistol with a magazine in my hand.

now my vest can't be any stiffer than starch.... canvass as stiffer than starch to begin with. (this means i must also remove the zip ties... I'm not takign them outof my winter coat though.. ... guess it's back to a few rounds of brass in the pockets. lol.

Guess i better measure my wilderness tactical belt that i have worn daily for about 10 years now so i can make sure it complies with the rules.

I really missed shooting. the goofy BS rules, not so much. I had hoped they would have gotten much of the RO judgment calls gone. but i see they are still there.

A few positives here and there about mods to guns being "blessed" now, and the holster rules,

i can no longer put 11 in my first mag, then chamber the top round... good job at removing the safety of not juggling mags at the beginning of every match.. something I'm quite good at.. but a worthless skill to have to teach a beginner.

Thanks for the links jane, good info...

I was excited to shoot again... but now not so much. :(

No change. Never could.

This did not change, 11 in the first mag is and has been allowed.

I can't recall really, and don't feel like looking it up. Definitely don't agree with it.

Steve, don't worry. You can learn the changes 3 seconds at a time. :)

Are you going to Fort Harmar? If so, we'll see you there.
