    Your First GSSF Outdoor Match, by Danny Ryan

    Equipment: Stock pistol, 150 rounds of ammo per entry. While you can shoot with just 2 magazines, 4 are nicer.
    Accessories: bug spray, sun screen, hand towel, water, lightweight folding chair, hand cleaner, gear for any weather, money, baseball cap, pen, ear and eye protection (even for spectators).
    Procedure: as soon as you receive your registration labels, go to each stage and sign in on the entry sheet. Then go back to the 5 To GLOCK stage, check off your name and await your turn, and shoot it first, followed by the GLOCK ‘M and finishing on the Plates. If there is a practice plate rack, take advantage of it.

    Stages:
    5 To GLOCK: there are five cardboard targets, normally at 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 yards. You fire two shots per target, 10 shots total. You shoot three strings of fire for a total of 30 rounds.
    GLOCK ‘M: here there are four cardboard targets and one to three metal poppers. You shoot 2 shots per cardboard, leaving up to 3 shots to hit one popper. You shoot three strings of fire.
    GLOCK The Plates: you have 11 rounds to knock down six 8in plates at 11 yards. You do this four times. Steel left standing is 10 points penalty per plate. Don't rush

    Scoring:
    Your score for each stage is the sum of the times for your strings of fire plus any penalty points. Don't rush because misses are 10 point penalty each. Shots in the 8in circle are zero penalty points. Shots in the 12in circle are 1 penalty point. Shots outside the 12in but still on the cardboard are 3 points penalty. You only have 6 shots at 25 yards, so slow down and get good hits. Engage your targets as they enter your line of sight, either moving right to left or left to right. Do not zig-zag between targets as that takes more precious time.
    You will be shooting with Masters, but not against Masters. They are very fast and very accurate. Don't try to shoot as fast as they do.
    Tell the Range Officer at each stage that this is your first match. They are always helpful.
    Often there are food and merchandise vendors, but bring a snack just in case. Plan to be there four hours. Make friends and have fun. Preliminary results are usually posted by Tuesday night at www.gssfonline.com. The finals, with prize distribution, are posted about 30 days after the prelims, allowing time to resolve any scoring issues. Warning: GSSF Is Addictive!

    You stand a good chance! You know this, but others may not . .. .

    This match is sponsored by GLOCK Inc, and they will be giving away about 28 GLOCKs :: 8 guns for performance in various divisions, and about 20 in random prize draws.

    And, yes, it's a fun match, too.

    What time does the match start or what time do I need to show up? I will be registering at the match!

    Basically 9:00am start shooting time. Registration for walk-in's open at 9:00am. Kinda shotgun style match as you pick which of the three stages to shoot (the order is up to the shooter) and once signed-in on the stage sign-in sheet, you'll shoot in the order on the list based on time of sign-in.


    Main thing to remember is this GSSF Match is a Cold Range event. Please use the Safe tables or Range Officers "Make Ready" commands are when it is OK to handle the pistols.

    What S8MS said.

    And I would add that as long as you get REGISTERED before 3:00 PM on Saturday or 2:00 PM on Sunday, you will be able to get the match completed. 9:00 AM might be the best time to show up (due to the first-there == first-to-shoot nature of the match); but you can show up ANY time before the 3 and 2 PM times.
    Also; you can shoot EITHER day. (Or BOTH, as there are 8 different divisions you can shoot, based on which GLOCKs you bring.)

    When I fill out the online registration form, there is no option to select ACC as a match site for the Pocket Glock division. Will that be an option at ACC?

    Yes, the option to shoot pocket Glocks at the match is available.

    The online pre-registration is closed but are taking walk-ins all day Saturday and Sunday.

    See ya at the range....
