Competition 2025

Talladega sounds like the best option.  Right now we're in the snow again and single digits for the majority of a 24 hour day.

Did the GSSF match at RiverBend today (Dawsonville).  Second largest match with usually 900+ entries.

Since they're now recognizing Amateur shooters in the Master-Stock division, I did three entries.  That and I had $60 credit with Glock for some reason, it was basically 3 entries into the gun lottery for $30.

Not my best: 
Amateur Civilian Division - 70.89
Competition  Division - 77.37
Master Stock - 90.17.

shot each stage in order MS, Comp, AC, which is reflected in the scores.   Other things and weather prevented any practice in the last 3 weeks, so it is what it is.

70 would be a winning score in Amateur division at many ranges, but there's too much competition at RiverBend, and also at the Nationals (Talladega) and at Savannah.  Got to go to some of the smaller matches to get a match win.

Or get some practice weather....

That score is nothing to sniff at...

Prizes have been awarded.  Got $75 for High Super Senior.
I’ll hand it to GSSF since they updated their procedures they’ve been very prompt about posting the scores and awarding prizes.  In the past we’d wait 2 weeks for scores to be posted and another week or two for awards.  Now it’s such that if corrections aren’t in by Monday morning then it’s too late.  And the check’ will probably be here by next Monday.  And that’s with 775 entries.

This weekend is River Bend’s IDPA classifier match.  Doing both long form and 5X5, plus a couple of fun stages. And yet again weather is going to make it difficult for me to get in practice outdoors.  At least drynfire with a revolver is realistic.

Good job. 

So I gotta ask...how many seniors were there?

Since GSSF has implemented their own on-line match registration and scoring system, it's really not possible to tell.  Unlike Practiscore where you can get a list of competitors and their categories, GSSF doesn't have that feature.  It's also not reported in the match results.  The only data is name and amateur/master status, and of course score. 

I do know I beat out all other special categories, Senior, Lady, Jr Lady and Jr Male.
