GSSF Matches

[bafsu92]

You can have as big a magazine as Glock makes (must be Glock), just can't have more than 10 rounds in it.  I use standard G17 mags which hold 17(?).  The 10 limit of course, is to make it fair to those who live in states limiting magazine capacity, and so they can conduct matches there.

I'm not clear on all the "stippling" details.  You'll have to check the book.

Unless you're one of the "masters" nobody is probably going to check your gun that closely, though they could.   The ROs are volunteers and they're primarily concerned about safety first, and then moving people through as quickly as possible second.  Unless they see something obvious, they're not going to do any serious checking.

That's what I figured/hoped for. The rule book seemed pretty vague since it says no reductions or stippling and even though removing finger grooves could easily be interpreted as a reduction, material is taken off after all, it doesn't fit into the "normal reduction" that people pay for, the grip angle. If you didn't know what you were looking at you'd think it was just some bastard hybrid Gen2.5, the grip of a Gen2 but with a frame rail. On another note does anyone have any idea how long it takes to get your GSSF membership package back once you join? I sent mine in a couple weeks ago but haven't received anything. If it's not back by next weekend I wonder if they have a way to look it up if I can make the Clearwater match.

Don't quote me but I think the rules wanted everything to be stock with exception of a few items. Cannot remember what items they were???

Yep, for outdoor matches they bring laptops and can look up any registration up until the last minute.   They're a pretty good bunch.   I've called and talked to Melanie several times about some minor issues.  (they forgot to mark me as a senior)    I sent mine in the week of an indoor match and she emailed me my registration number.   I suspect if your registration is "in process" they'll connect it with your scores after the match.   BTW, they take up to 3 months to process match results to insure they get everything right.   The "nationals" held in September weren't finalized until December.

Indoor seems to be catching on at some of the indoor ranges.

Shot at the Bullseye-Marksman in Cumming, Ga.  on Saturday.  Here's the course of fire.

Target #1
10rnds @ 30' in 15 sec
10rnds @ 75' in 30 sec

Target #2
10rnds @ 75' in 15 sec
10rnds @ 30' in 15 sec
10rnds @ 21' in 15 sec

I did alright.  Not a winning score but 463/500.  Should have done better.

Shot again last night at Hi-Caliber in Holly Springs, GA.

10 @ 10yds
10 @ 25yds
10 @ 25yds
10 @ 15yds
10 @ 7.5yds

A core group hung around and they did the drawing right there since this was the 3rd stage in the match.   No, I didn't win.  I was basically 2nd in Class B (473).   Winning score was 491.
