Any of you shoot GSSF @ RangeUSA Memphis?

[Guest BigMikeFromOleMiss]

I am a noob when it comes to shooting sports and competition. Just wondering if I could get a little feedback on shooting GSSF there. Think I should attend a match as a nonshooter first to get a feel for it and then wait until the next match or just jump right in? Any tips or anything would be appreciated. Are you able to shoot a G34 in GSSF? Thanks.

GSSF is about as newbie friendly as any of the shooting sports. Just about anyone with a Glock can do it. The G34 can be used, but check to see which divisions they are allowed in. If you go to a match, plan to shoot or you will wish you did. Accuracy is very important for GSSF because of the way scoring is done.

Just show up fill out form and the line will show you everything to shoot. One mag will do but pre load 4 of them

with ten rounds if you have them. Bring three boxes ammo,may not need all (per Match) Practice beforehand

at 25yrd paper this is where most fall off. Tons of fun.

Several GSSF videos on Youtube,watch before match.

The GSSF matches are designed for the person who "just bought their Glock last week" and this is the first competition they've ever been in (paraphrased from GSSF). You don't even need a holster as all stages start from a low-ready position. You should have at least three magazines (four if possible) so as not to hold up other competitors reloading during your string/stage.

G34 is only available in the Amateur/Master Division and Master Unlimited Division. Amateur Civilian, Amateur Guardian are typical models (i.e. not "Competition"). Obviously the G34 doesn't fit in the subcompact and heavy metal class.

Music City Tactical Shooters in Dickson hosted a successful GSSF match last May and is scheduled to have another 5/19/2012. www.mctsclub.com, Upcoming Matches

By registering, you also have the chance to win some nice random drawing prizes such as memberships in GSSF, magazines for your pistol, Glock field knives, and more. There are also cash awards, even if you don't place in your division.

We had 198 entries last GSSF match in May 2011. This was our first one and people knew little about the club at that time. We hope to have 300 plus entries this year. The GSSF match is focused on accuracy. The GSSF matches are geared toward new shooters, women, youths, and disabled people as there is no movement required.
