Have never done any match. Considering attending this one.  

What to expect?

How long of a day? 

How much ammo to bring? 

Thanks for any information 

Nick

It's a great time.  It's $35 to join GSSF and $30 per Glock gun u want to shoot.

3 stages.  

Time and accuracy count.

Random prizes including $$$, Guns, Knives etc.

If u come in first in a division u win a gun, second is $$$ and third is usually a knife.

The shooting usually takes 3-4 hours at most.

Ammo count is like 120ish rounds to be on the safe side.

I will be going with my teammates to shoot. The last 3 years I have won guns by placing.  It's good times.

Lots of fun and no pressure. Get there early as the lines for the stages can get long.

Take your time when shooting. Misses cost time so try not to miss.

Do the plate rack last. it goes quickly and there is less wait.

You can find info about the stages here: http://gssfonline.com/courses.cfm

The Glock Report comes out twice a year and the second volume contains details about the matches. The latest one I could find on their website is from 2016: http://www.gssfonline.com/glockrpt/2016_The_Glock_Report_VOLII.pdf

Thanks guys. I joined gssf a few months back. Got the email about this match. 

I assume I'll have to get a holster and mag holders. I do not have those.

I have 3 10round mags. Is that enough ? Lol

 

Thanks again

Nick

Everything is done from the ready position. So no need for a holster.  You'll need an extra mag cause the plates is 4 runs.  If u do t have one you can borrow one of mine.  Just lemme know what Glock u are shooting.

Cool thanks.  May take you up on that. I have a G19 gen4.  

 

Cool.  I think Sunday my guys are shooting.

are these seperate events each day or an event over both? Need to shoot just one day or both days of shooting is required?   Never done a match myself either and already have joined GSSF as well.

You can shoot any or all of the events either day.  If you wish, you can shoot multiple events with most stock Glocks.

Read the following docs, and you'll be fine.  It's quite beginner-friendly.

Thank you sir

It is beginner friendly.   Overall it's really a great experience.

A Glock Armorer is there and you can have him/her check out your firearm and make any needed repairs. All free!

Great point.  They also have Glock swag for purchase.

I’d love to participate in one of these, yet I am quite sure I would embarrass myself.

 

There is no embarrassment in learning.  I'm sure you won't do as bad as you think you will do.

Lots of first timers there. The RO's are very easy to work with. Tell them it is your first match and they will help (as will others). Everyone is pretty friendly.

btw it is worth mentioning that you don't handle your firearm except at a safe table (at no ammo on the safe table) or when it is your turn to shoot and the RO will give you directions to tell you when to load/touch your firearm.

Also make sure you understand and follow basic firearm safety rules and you will be fine. No one cares if you miss.

Great to know. Thanks, guys. What are the dates for this particular match?

Glocks are superior guns in every way.

If you want to shoot your Ruger, go to the RSSF match.

Ah man

Not to take away from this thread, but for those of you that find you really enjoy yourself at this type of event, I'd suggest you check out IDPA or USPSA or both. If the bug bites you really badly you can shoot a match every weekend with only minor travel (<90 minutes).

Just thought I'd throw this out there for your consideration.

Adios,

Pizza Bob

Agreed^^^^show us how good your blocks can shoot.  

Ok.  I have 12 people shooting with 4 teams.  

5 have never shot a match before, however they have experience with guns.  

Im in.  Whats the date.  G19 vickers. A pistol is a pistol.  High exposure squadding up with us? 

It's this weekend. In Jackson. 

Thanks to everyone for the info and offers. 

Unfortunately I'm stuck this weekend.  Saturday I have to work and the wife has informed me that Sunday is a family day. I gotta pick and choose my battles carefully. Haha. 

Good luck to all who attend! 

Nick

Thanks bro.  Im out. Sat gotta work. 

Where in Jackson exactly? I have a bunch of glocks but i'm a terrible shot however i would like to go see what its all about.
