Once again Weld County Fish and Wildlife Range will be hosting the GSSF match. (Additional info can be found in the 2015 thread here https://www.ar-15.co/threads/146507-Colorado-GSSF-Glock-Match-August-15th-16th-2015 )
We will set up on Friday and RO's and early birds can shoot after, say, 11:00 or so. As always will be looking for Range Officers.
Throw any questions up here.
and YES there will be loaner guns if anyone needs them, so sign up for whatever divisions you want. Just see me or my wife at the range.
Thanks for the reminder. Is this similar to steel challenge where there is little movement and no fast reloads?
No movement and no reloads. No holster work either.
I will/should be there Friday for set up.
Thanks. Approximately how many rounds?

You a Glock guy now?
I decided last year that I'd like to shoot this match. Especially after borrowing a few Glocks and shooting well with them.

It's that hard black plastic, got his attention. Bring 100 rds. Better to have and not need.

sign up day of match.
Trying to make sure I can get one of those days off, as things just got busy again.
I'd like to buy a used G19 before hand, but as time is short, I'll likely end up needing to borrow something. I'll check with my off-site resources before I come and ask on here.

What's wrong with your fortay? Why not shoot what you use for IDPA
Because it's a Glock match, so you have to use a Glock.

As always, I will have loaners there.
Looks like I'm cleared for the 13th. Just need to register and find a gat. There is one for sale on here right now that I'm considering.

You can shoot my 23 with 9 conversion bbl, if you want. That would save you a few $$, outside rental fees ;)

Give me a call. Big John and i are going there sat morning, maybe some eats afterward ?
Let me run this stuff by my wife and we'll see what I can do.
I am headed up Friday to assist with setting things up.

Guys keep in mind that ole Gaston set up these matches because he "created the perfect pistol." That being said, read the online rules, he really wants stock divisions shot with stock Glocks, other than a few mods; sights, grip tape, etc. now am I going to say anything about an aftermarket barrel? No. But the right RO might want to throw you into Unlimited division. That being said, IVE LOANERS.
also keep in mind. When you sign up, there will be a sheet for new shooters. If you brought a brand new shooter with you, write his and your name down. It goes into a drawing for a pistol also. Course make sure you spell my name right. :)

GAP and SPP 45 stuff.
I haven't looked at the rules yet but the pistol I was planning on using has an aftermarket extractor. I'm guessing that one modification is going to put me in unlimited?

How is anyone going to know that, unless you volunteer said info.
Think i'll be put in the unlimpeted division.
I've never shot this match before, does that qualify me as a new shooter?

no one will know or care. There will also be an armourer there who can look over your gun and if you replaced it because of an issue, they're good about solving issues and throwing any updated parts into it for free.

there are a few divisions recognized:
female- obviously
seniors and I believe, super Srs.
guardian- which is LEOS, fire fighters, etc.
Master- People who've won 3 guns or classed as a Master shooter in some other discipline other than IDPA. Their Master rating is pretty soft.
Civilian- pretty much everyone else.
If you'll look at the online application, (maybe someone can post a link, thus iPad hates me) you'll see there is several different divisions you can shoot in one day. I shoot 6- or 7 myself. It just improves chances of winning by ability or random. I'll take luck over skill anyday.

I went the updated parts route but was still having ejection issues and stoppages and stove pipes. (Perfection my ass)
Put an Apex extractor in it and all has been well for 500 rounds so far.
Hopefully I can shoot it as "stock" since everything else is all factory Glock and I don't see where a different extractor gives me any sort of "competitive advantage".

"I" have never bothered sleeping dogs. I let them lay.
It would save me some searching around if someone could tell me where (geographically) this thing is being held.

Nevermind. Found it. Just east of Eaton basically.
Will I be able to register the day of the match? I saw one thing that looked like I could but then I saw something else that said I had to be registered by Wednesday. Now I'm just confused.
More questions.
What is "stacking"?
The course rules mentions there is no "stacking".
Well, I sent in my registration email. I screwed up some information and sent a second email. Hopefully everything gets figured out.
See you guys there. Thanks everyone (many, many people) who offered to lend me a gun.

The course rules mentions there is no "stacking".
I saw that as well, and noticed it is only mentioned on stages with paper. I think because this is like Limited Vickers scoring, that "no stacking" means that you can't take extra shots. That's the way I interpret it anyway. Hopefully someone comes along to let us know.
What is "stacking"?
Here's a discussion on it. Basically in multiple strings with multiple targets you game out the targets and don't transition from one to another (as the course description states), but end up with the right number of hits on each target at the end.
http://forums.brianenos.com/index.php?showtopic=138537
Imagine three targets, three strings, one round each target. But in string 1 you just hammer T1 three times, S2 T2 three times and then S3, T3 three times.

I'm having second thoughts about going. After looking at the stages I'm not too sure I'm very excited about them. Also I doubt I would place high enough to win any prizes.
Whether the stages are "exciting" is subjective. I shoot USPSA and 3gun all over the state and I think the stages are "exciting" enough that I'll shoot the match. There are random prizes given out so even if you don't finish at the top you could win a pistol.

If it was easy, girls could do it.

Lol.
I didn't mean to imply it looked "easy". Just meant it didn't look like my cup of tea.
There's a USPSA match this Saturday that might interest me more and probably won't be terribly crowded with the GSSF thing going on.
Honestly, I'm still undecided.
Maybe I'll just go with my wife to her knitting group instead.
Also I doubt I would place high enough to win any prizes.
That never stopped me from having fun.

Just shoot really fast.
Just shoot really fast.
I only have one speed.
Have my stuff gathered up and set to the side and ready to go for tomorrow.
Probably pick up a breakfast burrito from Santiago's on my way up in the morning. I figure an overwhelming urge to get to the bathroom will likely make me shoot faster.
Ha. Stuff is mostly set aside. My brother invited himself to this match and every other match I shoot or even know about. See everyone tomorrow.
I think I'll probably only shoot in one division but I might do two. Going to run my gen 3 19 for sure and I'll run a gen 4 26 if I decide to shoot a second division. I have a brand new gen 4 19 that I am going to set up for IDPA use but I swapped out the connector for an aftermarket unit so technically I'd have to shoot that one in the unlimited class so I think I'll just leave it at home until the next IDPA match.

A connector does not make another division. Just shoot the damn thing.
I plan to start using my 23 for IDPA as well.
Well, I did it.
Good thing I shot as an "amateur". It was quite fitting considering how I today. Lol.
By far wasn't one of my better days behind trigger. When the results come out I'll let you know how I did. Hopefully I beat a few of the women and maybe some of the senior citizens.

They award a pistol for worse shooters, too. I entered as senior/handicapped. Unfortunately that guy in the wheelchair was doing very well when i watched.

Awesome seeing Jim today. Wish I'd met Ray and Irving. Unfortunately I was running short on help and had to hustle around.
We had 260-/+ entries today and another 100 or so pre signed up for tomorrow. We have to break 420 to beat the record, which I really want to do....
so...I'm carrying multiple Glocks, mags and Ammo , yes Ammo out tomorrow for loaners. As long as my Ammo last, it's yours. Just pay your entries, put ME down as the person who invited you and shoot away.
you can sign up between 8:00-1:59 and we will let you shoot. How can you beat that deal?
come on you female reproduction parts, I'm calling you out.

Major thanks to LGM for the valet service AND Big John for driving me out there.
It was nice to see a good turn out of women shooters and kids. Big difference from the 1st two GSSF matches held there. Having multiple RO's plus sign up folks at each stage allowed it to move along. Yes the first was a learning process. It's nice to see our range welcome GSSF back the last 16? years

Iwas amazed at how many youth were doing it RIGHT! Great form, correct grip, good hits...everything to give one hope for the future.
Limited, I saw you valet Jim by when I got there. I think I saw you show up to address a malfunctioning plate rack later.
Scores are out. No prizes listed yet though.
Good job, Stu.
I did a little better than I thought. Only finished 39 places behind you. Lol.
I'm not holding my breath for a prize but I hear the new 17M is all the rage.

They usually take 30 days to allow any discrepancies be brought to their attention, then post up.
Thanks, my brother is gloating that he beat me. I had to remind him that I accidentally shot better on my competition string. I've also got my fingers crossed for a prize. I'm already looking for a rematch. Lots of room for improvement.
Looks like Wayne really shot well.
Jim, it looks like you won your division for Civilian, and second overall. Hope that gets you something.

Makes sense. I thought there was a discrepancy, but it turned out it was on my side. An extra 4 seconds lost me an extra 9 places.

Didn't see any wins for me, unless they updated it. There's many who shot and placed better than i did. Jack G shot better than i did in every category.

Anyway, thanks. I'm a member at that range. Going to start honing my steel plate skills, picking up speed while focusing on hits.
Those 2 plates left standing knocked me down a few.
Steel Challenge is third Saturday of the month at CRC; bet they hold Steel Challenge at your range too.
