Boeydafunk Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Ok, so I just watched my first match tonight and will be heading of to shoot my first match in a few weeks. I am not a gun gamer at this point in my life, but see this sport as a way of polishing skills. I have a 24c, a 35, a 22c, and a 23. I want to shoot my 24c but was told that Ill have to shoot with the guys with the full race guns. If I shoot my 35 then I can run production, or limited ten or even limited correct? If Im following this then my best place to start is in L-10? More points for non a hits than production and the same ten rounds so I can at least gauge my speed with the production guys? My 35 is all stock. DaFunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 If you shoot your glock 35, you get the extra benefit of major scoring (more points for hits that arent in the A zone)in either Limited or Limited-10. In limited, you will have less reloads and can worry about just hitting the targets, but you may be at a slight disadvantage gear wise. In all reality, most people arent terribly competitive their first match anyway. first of all, be safe and 2nd of all have fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) In all divisions, you are really only competing aginst your own division. By shooting the 35 in L-10, you will be at a somewhat disadvantage to them, if yours is bone stock. Take a look at all the mods you can do to a limited gun. Your best bet, if you want to compete, and see where you would be against the production shooters, is in production. The playing field would be much more level there, than in L-10 or Limited. Besides, you may get more points for a non "A" hit in Limited or L-10, but in production, since all they score is minor, you can load way down and take alot of the recoil and flip out of your gun, therefore improving your shots, and shooting more "A"'s..... Keep in mind, a "mike" is worth the same, in all divisions and in all power factors.... Edited July 14, 2010 by GrumpyOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 valid point on downloading the 40 cal loads to something nice and soft (some people say its softer than a 9mm). Production does have some guns with plenty of modifications as well, but a stock glock will do just fine there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeydafunk Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 I shoot factory ammo only. My gun will flip no matter what. All my guns are used as tools first, thus cutting down on the mods which can be added. Maby ill just try production and see how it goes. I was just exited about first off the scores being more, and second off, less people shooting that division where I shoot. I know that I am only competeing against those in my division, but as far as time is concerned if I shoot L10, Ill be able to see who shot what times in production and at least gauge my times DaFUnk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Your magazine capacity will be be equal to those in production and you will get the added benefit of major scoring (assuming your factry ammo makes major, which i wuold think should be easy). Sign up for the match and have fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeydafunk Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Cool, thanks guys. Anyplace I can pic up a more "competative" style holster and mag pouches. DaFUnk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagger10k Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) You probably won't need to do much to your gun to make it competitive. I shoot an almost bone stock Glock 20 in L10 and limited and do ok. Edited July 14, 2010 by dagger10k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeydafunk Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Yeah, I can see that. Like my 24 I would mod out. I have to strap my 35 on to go to work, so its a different deal. Maby Ill just look into getting a non comped barrel for the 24 and mod it out DaFunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a little fish in a big pond (Limited or L-10)? Little fish are bait...... More new shooters start out in Production than any other division...The reason being is that they can be more competitive against their own...Starting out in Limited or L-10 may very well get you discouraged from shooting... Now I'm not saying you are a novice shooter (far from it, as I have no clue as to your abilities), but, there are ALOT of big fish playing in the Limited pond, and the reason behind that is that most of them have moved up from production. Shooting Limited (for someones first match) is like jumping into the deep end of the pool, and only learning to dog paddle yesterday. My .02.....

Mattog22 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The good thing with the 34 is it has most of the mods you need for production class except the fiber optic sight, which isn't mandatory. I started in production class with a G22 and added a fiber optic sight and the mods the 34 already has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattog22 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) GrumpyOne is dead on, being last in Limited (not that you will be last but just for example) doesn't really show you anything, my vote is for production Edited July 14, 2010 by Mattog22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeydafunk Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 I came in looking for advise and I think it would be foolish not to take that advise. Production it is. My stock 35 is gtg in that class right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yes it is GTG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HICKMAN Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Do want I do, play in them all I go back and forth in Prod/Limited with my G35, will probably play around in Limited 10 one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-ManBart Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I came in looking for advise and I think it would be foolish not to take that advise. Production it is. My stock 35 is gtg in that class right? Actually, it's a Division, not a Class. Shooters are Classified by shooting Classifiers. Guns are Divided into Divisions. Yes, a G35 is fine for Production, but you will be shooting significantly more powerful ammo than probably everybody else, which is a bit of a disadvantage. If I was shooting a stock Glock with .40 factory ammo, I'd shoot L-10. Not to say you're bad, but for the first few matches, stage times really won't mean anything. Take your best stage at your first match and someone will probably do it with better points in a quarter of the time (or less)....just be safe, watch what's going on and have fun!
