Heh.
yeh - but free gunz
I haven't in years, but things are pretty much the same, I hear.Anyone hear shoot the GSSF matches? I'm curious about them. What do I need to know before shooting in of these?
Aren't glocks like Pokemon? Gotta catch em all.
I've been shooting in these matches for about 10 years. They are usually very well organized and shooter friendly. There are three stages. You will shoot about 100 rounds. One of the stages are the steel plates and that has four strings. The other two stages are mostly 4 or 5 cardboard double taps. It's a difficult balance of speed versus accuracy. The very first match I shot in, my shooting time was under 60 seconds but I had about 250 seconds of penalty time so.... but I did win a pistol in the random drawing. They also have an armorer on-site whose service is free and will change out any worn or suspect Parts in your gun .downside is you have to join gssf 25 bucks a yearAnyone hear shoot the GSSF matches?

Where do you shoot them? I’d love to try these out but haven’t been able to find anything local. I’m in Fayetteville.I've been shooting in these matches for about 10 years.

They have indoor and outdoor GSSF matches. The outdoor matches are the good ones that everyone talks about, the indoor ones don’t generally have prizes and the course of fire is pretty much slow fire for accuracy.Where do you shoot them?

Thanks! I’ll check it out. So the indoor matches don’t give away Glocks, etc?They have indoor and outdoor GSSF matches. The outdoor matches are the good ones that everyone talks about, the indoor ones don’t generally have prizes and the course of fire is pretty much slow fire for accuracy.
Here is the list of outdoor matches: http://www.gssfonline.com/match-info.cfm
Don’t be surprised to not find one too close, most people drive 3+ hours to the match and some further.
Each match has only a handful of paid Glock employees and everyone else is a volunteer. The quality of the volunteer range and staff can make a huge difference.
Unless it has changed very recently the winner in a indoor match gets a plaque, and things like shirts, hats and knives are given away randomly based on Lewis Class scoring.Thanks! I’ll check it out. So the indoor matches don’t give away Glocks, etc?
Thanks! Very helpful. I almost went out of my way to participate in an indoor one a couple years back. Glad I didn't!Unless it has changed very recently the winner in a indoor match gets a plaque, and things like shirts, hats and knives are given away randomly based on Lewis Class scoring.
They do them in sets of 3 so you shoot 3 matches on different days and your best 2 scores count. At the end of a series of 3 matches I think they give away one Glock pistol randomly, compared to a big outdoor match like Morganton, NC where they’ll give away dozen(s) of guns for performance and randomly.
