GSSF matches are a good entry into competition shooting. Oregon is one of the only states with multiple GSSF matches. I went to my first match last year. I won a pistol and was paid $100 for my placing in one division. If the GSSF matches don't fit your schedule consider speed steel matches at any of the local clubs that hold them. They are also great matches for shooters getting into competition. Pistol matches are great for pushing people to improving skills in speed and accuracy.
Pros
New shooters welcomed and encouraged
Great prizes, guns and cash
Glock Armour available at the match and will fix pistols if needed for nothing.
You can enter multiple divisions
Cons
Cost per division high
Only a few stages
Safety rules are a little different than most pistol matches
The strategy leans heavily more towards accuracy than speed.
