Manhandling the plates


Thankfully, it was two fingers :-D


Just like untangling the Christmas tree lights

Saturday. Another great GSSF day! Started out a bit cloudy with just a slight misting of rain for about 5 minutes. That went through, blue skies arrived, and almost summer-like weather remained throughout the day. Actually, the early clouds were kind of nice. Anyway, as far as I know, all went well. I was on one of the plate bays and except for a couple of fleeting backlogs around lunchtime, no issues to report. Someone chime in if you felt otherwise. We've still got one day to go. Anyway, on to some pictorial representations.

That's Gorka Ibanez, he placed 5th at the FL Open (USPSA), he's a GM in the Limited division. He is extremely fast.

Another beautiful bluebird-sky north FL day. As expected, not quite as many folks today as yesterday but I think the overall numbers were above last year's. I missed that part of the debrief. Anyway, another Tallahassee GSSF match in the books and looking forward to next year. And for your visual stimulation, a few more pics.

Great pictures truckcop.

Thought the match ran very well Saturday. Started shooting at 9am and was through at 11:30. We stayed at the plates and ran one side while the RO's took their lunch breaks. On the road home at 12:30.
Good to see everyone there. Had a few of the same RO's as last year.
Weather was perfect, started raining a little early then turned off nice.
Thanks to all the work from the RO's to the GSSF staff, Mark, Scott, Chris and Patti.

WOW! I can't say enough good things about the ROs who made this match happen, as well as all of the fantastic shooters who came to Tallahassee to shoot the match! Thank you all!

Once again, I had a great time running the match, and my wife Carmen, while totally stressing out about wanting to please the ROs with her cooking, knocked it out of the park with her chili!

I can't wait for next year, and have already started planning some changes to make things run even smoother, and to take even better care of our ROs. Also a shout-out to competitors who helped out when they didn't need to--what a great bunch of people!

And thanks for the pictures, Ken--I don't know when you found the time to take them while working your tail off!

ETA Oh, and for those wondering, 774 entries!
