IDPA & Other Competitive Matches

At the competitions I've been to, round counts have been mercifully and drastically reduced. It's definitely nice not to use tons of precious ammo, but then again it's not nice because the whole reason you're there is to shoot, right? At some point only firing 50rds in 4 hours loses its luster.

Wow...yeah, I remember shooting a blind stage one afternoon years ago and one of the range/safety officers said, "Load every spare magazine you got for this stage." Guess those days are gone for a while. I really can't say I blame them with all the nonsense going on right now. I definitely see your point regarding people kind of getting bored with the stages.
