What to expect at a GSSF match

[Av8rtx]

I have entered, with my Mother, my first shooting competition, a GSSF match in Kansas this coming July. I was wondering what to expect and what the best preparation would be. The match is on an outdoor range, I mainly have access to indoor ranges in my area.
I will be entering as an amateur/sub compact division with my G26. I think she will be using her 19 in the appropriate division.

GSSF matches are generally well run, with lots of help for the newbies. Go prepared for a long day and lots of fun!

Best prep? If you don't have a private range, see if you can find some way to practice transitioning between small targets and shooting quickly at all distances.

I've only shot one Glock match, but it was a LOT of fun. I need to do another...

OK, here is MY best advice on Glock matches.

Accuracy counts far more than speed. Missing a shot will cost you 10 seconds. So, slow down, aim carefully, and you will do better.

Also, bring extra mags. Mags always fail when you need them most!

And bring more ammo then you think you could possibly need. More is always better.

My very first match, I won a G26. Since then, not so fortunate. But, the chances are still there for you!
