Glock Annual Match XVIII

[kmitch200]

You are actually helping me make my point Solus.
I'm not bashing Glocks, but as you point out, it isn't the one you baby.

I don't like babying guns anymore. I used to, but the older I get, I want reliable not pretty.
As Solus pointed out, when you rely on a Glock for your life, being ugly doesn't figure into it.

I have to baby my Browning O/U because they didn't make a beater version of it. It's almost a work of art but to me that isn't "soul", its just more work.  Same with my rifles. If the point of impact is going to change, I want it to be because of altitude not because the wood decided to warp.

PS The late entries should be penalized, they should not bump you down a notch.
You not only shot well, you got the paperwork in on time as well.

They're not "late" entries per se.  It's paperwork that went missing.   GSSF doesn't know if they forgot to enter a score or whether the competitor didn't complete a stage.  When you shoot a stage it's up to the RO to turn in the paper work, not the competitor.  In this case what may have happened is a competitor looked at the scores saw his name missing and lets them know he did shoot all the stages and he has copies of the score sheets.   Given the date/time/bay he shot each stage they then search through the mounds of their original  score sheets for the ones they missed which then gives the competitor a complete score.   That would account for the increased number of competitors not just the adjustment of ranking.

There are also data entry errors and it's up to each competitor to check his copy against the posting and request a correction.

Looking at the scores there are over 1,000 entries.  Each entry (division) requires 3 score sheets which can be shot anytime from 8:30 Saturday to ~3pm Sunday and over 20 different bays.  That works out to somewhere around 3,000 pieces of paper and data entry.     Mistakes will be made and it's nice they give you a chance to correct everything before it's finalize.......before the random drawings!!!!
