GSSF Glock Match in Tucson, Arizona (Oct, 2009)

[SuperRip7]

Woah windy.

[PHSjdm717]

from the video i see.. do they not let you wear a holster or mag pouches?

[GunWebsites]

@PHSjdm717

you can wear whatever you want

[edog355]

hay gunwebsites quick question I am looking in to getting in to competition shooting which one would you recommended more GSSF or IDPA thanks

[GunWebsites]

@edog355

easy.. both

Unless you plan to travel to every state every year, GSSF will only be near you once or at best a few times each year. GSSF is a traveling thing always on the move, one location for one weekend, then the next

IDPA usually run once a month (or more) at local ranges.. so like here in Tucson, we could shoot a few IDPA matches each month without driving out of town

[edog355]

@GunWebsites ok thanks and pleas keep up the excellent job you guys are doing

[GunWebsites]

@edog355

thanks, will do

[edog355]

@GunWebsites ok thanks a lot and keep up the good work pleas

Thanks for putting this video, GSSF Glock Match in Tucson, Arizona (Oct, 2009) on YouTube. It gave me a clear understanding of what to do for the competition. I plan to compete in Feb 2011 in Orlando and other than practicing, I'm having a lot of fun. Thanks again...

@NelsonDeLaInter

Keep checking out You Tube, thee are a few guys that post what their matches are like. I suspect yours in FL will be a bit nicer (and larger) than our little one in Tucson

Good luck in the event, they are a lot of fun (and there is always a chance to win a free pistol !!)

GunWebs what was your take on the experience etc ? It seems like fun but I'd be nervous about being a 1st time shooter etc. Do they have restrictions on sights ? (I have XS sights on mine) or is it kinda an open class setup for entry levels ? I am very interested and it seems like loads of fun !!.. Any input is appreciated !

[GunWebsites]

@mixwell1983

They have a GSSF shoot in Piru (as far as I know)

Anyone can enter, you won't win, if thats all you care about don't enter.

It isn't cheap really.. I am in the fence if I will shoot it again this year

[mixwell1983]

@GunWebsites - Ya bro the Piru shoot is in Nov 6-7 and Piru is only about 1hr from me in Los Angeles. Hell no I don't expect to win I expect to get a humble and learning experience and have fun doing it. I know the website says bring 100rds which is no prob but curious on the average registration, magazine count you'd need (i have 2 currently) and if you need a holster or if there are any other fees I don't know.  I tried to bring the registration form up but the file was "damaged or corrupt"

[GunWebsites]

@mixwell1983

Well, if you have one or two guns it's worth going IMO

But I have a few glocks, so I can shoot in a bunch of 'divisions' and then the costs add up quick

It's not a very long match, unless it's very busy we are usually done in 15 minutes, so it's easy to stay for a while and shoot it a few times, but it dents the wallet to do that..

[mixwell1983]

@GunWebsites - Well I do have a few firearms but only 1 is a Glock which I would think is a prerequisite to the match.. I was more concerned about having some extra mags.. I only have 2 mags for my g22 but if 3-4 is suggested I wouldn't mind picking up a couple.. I am still 50/50 on going and I think it will be a fun experience and excluding ammo if I spend $100 that sounds decent for a day of fun, new experiences and meeting other gun enthusiasts.

[mixwell1983]

No offense to the video or anyone shooting but by the pace of the matches and time between shots it seems like something I could be comfortable with. I've never shot a GSSF and thought I would be a noob for being slow but there is one about 1hr from me in Piru,CA in Nov I am thinking about trying for the experience but I'm trying to get some info on it and I don't care if I'm slow, just want the experience to be around the gun community. Nice video !!!

[SputnikJunior]

I missed this match, but hope to make the one next year. :) Thanks again for the vid!

[GunWebsites]

@SputnikJunior

It's coming up quick, posters are already up

[vascularcylinder]

Game for seniors???

[usframe]

sorry if I missed this info, but what is the distance to the plates?

[GunWebsites]

11 yards

[themadtrucker8113]

That look so fun!

[GunWebsites]

It really is fun to shoot

[DavinDaGeek]

that's some good shootin'

[weretaler]

very nice

[triggerfingas]

Glock the Plates seems like its harder than it looks....but then again ive never shot at steel plates b4

[GunWebsites]

First time I shot the plates at a Glock match (also first time shooting them in competition) I thought "this will be easy"

Then I was schooled..

I am really bad at them, but this year I did better than ever before.. I went slower and just thought "front sight" the whole time, bouncing the front sight from plate to plate (like you're supposed to, LOL)

[dakine425]

I missed this year's Gssf match, I like how casual everything is. Just walk up shoot and chill. You can pretty much take your time and do your own schedule.

I really wish they did it more than once a year. Did you win a free pistol?

[GunWebsites]

third match, no pistol yet... well this weekends results aren't up, but I doubt I'll win, I sucked today

but they are fun to shoot anyway, and it's good to get out and shoot with new people, etc

I agree they should be more often (and a bit cheaper)

[dakine425]

I think you can still win a random drawing and not have to place. I think if they had more matches it may be cheaper. There are a lot of new glock owners out there. Did you all have a pistol for each division?

[GunWebsites]

Yup, I plan on winning that 'random' Glock one of these years, because I doubt I'll be winning one for points just yet..

I did bring a few pistols and a LOT of ammo, but it is $25 per division, and I just couldn't afford to shoot as many as I would have liked

So I just shot the one with a Glock 17 and did miserably

(it was the Ninja Glock too... dang it)

I should have left all the junk on it, maybe then I would have won, LOL

[usframe]

or maybe, just maybe, then you would have been a Glock NInja!

Another good vid on what else there to shoot once the aluminum can supply is gone.

[pmalveda02]

what part did the gunsmith change and why?

[GunWebsites]

He changed the connector, but I didn't ask why
