papaairbear Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I just joined last month. There’s a match nearby on the 29th I think I can make. Looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangegoddess Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 My husband and I have been shooting GSSF since 1998 and shot IDPA quite a few years. Really enjoy the outdoor matches and meeting all the great people, either staffing or shooting. Have made some great friends over the years. We make 5 matches a year but I would like to increase that number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLE Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I joined in 2011. There is only one outdoor match nearby, so I've driven to Las Vegas and Pryor, Oklahoma to mix a match with family visits. There are several ranges in the Denver area that host indoor matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Black Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I've always been intrigued by the GSSF match and program. BUT it appears to not be very popular in my State of Washington. It appears to happen once a year and is 3 to 4 hours away. I've got too many other fun shooting matches that are less then one hour away for me to make the effort for GSSF.

DUBSY Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Are there any GSSF shoots in Ky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmax Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I started in CO loved the matches and then moved to CA for work and shot there with the range in Piru as my home base. I drove from SoCal to Richmond in NorCal and ended up winning a gun there. Shot in Las Vegas and won two guns after a long drive and was blessed with GlockMeister in 2003. Continued shooting matches at Piru until we escaped CA and moved to VA with no GSSF matches. The closest ones are in PA, NC, SC and WV all requiring an overnights stay. If I had closer ones I would rejoin in a heartbeat even though I am a more seasoned citizen and recently had my left shoulder replaced. Great matches and I still have my G17, G19 and G43 to use.

Guest DG870 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I started shooting GSSF in 2007. It’s a great way to get started shooting competetion. It’s challenging to top level shooters but reasonably low stress for beginning shooters. It’s a gateway sport to starting IDPA, USPSA etc. without having to buy holsters, belts, mag holders. All you need is a cased firearm and a few mags. (It helps to have at least 4 mags). You can get used to being timed and learn range safety and the range commands. I’ve worked as a ro on matches for several years and have seen many shooters improve their shooting ability. I highly recommend these matches as a way to improve your skills and meet new people.

Boogieman Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I joined when I lived in Georgia so many moons ago. Back then they gave out guns and pre-ban hi-caps (during the ban) like candy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave.1 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Just finished the Greeley, CO match on Sunday. Been going since 2008. Thanks to Seale Team and his crew for a very well run match, as usual. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXUSMC Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Been a GSSF member on and off for about 16 years... some indoor matches, mostly outdoor ones near Dallas, San Antonio, and West Monroe, LA. Lots of fun, but never gonna be a master class shooter. Really, compete against my own scores form match to match. Would like to get on a team, but most of my Glock friends are too cheap to join one of the most inexpensive sport shooting leagues going -- GSSF. Go figure...

TXUSMC Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Four months later... Missed the San Antonio outdoor match, but shot the first round of a three round indoor match in Conroe last weekend. Did fair... one round I wish I had back, but that's the great thing about competition: you own your mistakes. Had a great time, going back later this month for round two. Wishing all competitors in all genres a wonderful 2019... keep 'em in the X-ring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWguy Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Two years later and I no longer use the G29 for matches, but a G35 and hopefully my G19 MOS. Still haven't gotten the elusive 500. I think either a 494 or 497 is my highest. And I haven't shot in a match in months. They are held the last Saturday of the month from 11am to 1:30pm and I work 6pm to 6am Wednesday through Saturday. And the nearest match is an hour drive each way. So if I wanted to go to a match, I have to get by on about 3-4 hours sleep. Will try to do this months, however.

ede Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Think most I've shot in a year is 14 and ROed 5. Not shot many lately because of distance and time off from work. GSSF match success is largely dependent on the match staff. Since most staff don't shoot GSSF or are very limited shooters most don't have a great deal of experience. I poorly orginazied match is very disappointing to be part of and is somewhat common. A well run match is always a good time and I think harder to find.

TXUSMC Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 The outdoor matches in Texas are, IMO, pretty well run. The one in West Monroe, LA is an exceptionally well run match and a great venue. I attend indoor matches in Conroe, TX and they have been very well run, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWguy Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Went to the January match today and it did not go well. I think I spent too much time concentrating on developing match loads instead of shooting. The G19 with the RDS had better groups at the longer distances than the G35 with open sights, but it did worse at the short distances. I got 20 "X" hits with the G35 and only 15 with the G19. Got a 476 and a 451. Worst I've done for over a year. Oh well, still had fun and met new people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windowasher Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Been a member of GSSF for a while. Took wifey to Savanah match. She has signed up since and we'll see y'all at New Symrna, Florida this weekend (feb 2 - 3) Will be my first match with the Gen5 G17 I got for Christmas. Send me a PM if you going and we can meet up for a cup of... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
