Was the original reason for PF simply due to ballistics or was it due to capacity?
Think for yourself. Question authority.
What I tried to communicate was that: I am not opposed to running within moderation. But this is not a running match,,, it's a shooting match. Just because the range is 40 yards X 30 yards doesn't mean you have to use all of it. IDPA has the problem of not allowing enough movement between shooting positions. But I have been to matches where B class shooters were beating Master shooters because the Masters couldn't run as fast. I don't think that is right.
For mags, I just think if they change it to simply dropping an empty mag is OK whether there is a round in the chamber or not.

I enjoy the physical aspect (running) of many USPSA stages. It adds another stressor and gets your heart rate up (how much depends on you).
And I'm no spring chicken either

I have never seen this. Was there a 20 yard sprint or something? Rob Leatham can't even run and is still in the top ten in any division he shoots at any match. It is also not because he can stand and shoot better than anyone else. Foot speed is not that critical in USPSA, it deffinitely helps, but there are a bunch of real fat and old dudes kicking ass.
