Preloading shotgun tubes (not chambers) saves enough time to be worth doing, provided you have a good table to put the guns on afterwords and enough staff to keep an eye on it.

The bigger issue I have with it is when they load all the shooters at the same time and then do a walk through on BOTH stages simultaneously in the same bay and then start randomly calling people to shoot on one stage or the other.....that DOES NOT save any time and just screws with the shooters.
