ZackJones Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I saw on Facebook post today that the 2016 WSSC will be held August 25 - 27 at the San Luis Obispo Sportsman Association in San Luis Obispo, CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhe Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 That was what was announced at the award ceremony at this years match. I think that is it good news; Art and team did a nice job running the match and the facility is excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoracer Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Well I won't go to CA to shoot for sure even if I would likely win Super Senior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ming the Merciless Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Well I won't go to CA to shoot for sure even if I would likely win Super Senior. Check out the videos. Great range, excellent presentation of the targets with great contrast between the berm and the plates. I understand you don't like the Commiefornia politics, but that's the attitude that let's them win. Come on out, enjoy the great weather, and stick a finger in the liberals eye!

Buy $200-300 in magazines or commit a crime to attend the match. There is no exception to the magazines capacity rule for competition, only the assault weapons ban has an exception for out of staters. The WSSC shouldn't be in state that bans many competitor's equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdphotoguy Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Hope they move it around the country every few years. California is further then I want to travel for a match. Edited December 6, 2015 by jdphotoguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can only show up with 126mm mags for my STI Steelmaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can only show up with 126mm mags for my STI Steelmaster? Not legally, it holds more than 10 rounds in 9mm and 40 S&W. Will you get caught? Probably not, but that is besides the point we shouldn't be having a national/world match in a region that makes it a crime to bring your normal gear into the state. Now I do think that the WSSC needs a permanent home and crew. IMO USPSA needs to hire the crew that does the Steel Nationals to learn how to best setup this match. They have to down to a freaking science, the target presentation is perfect all the steel is level, and at the height is should be relative to the shooting box. Create a training guide to make available to all Steel Challenge clubs. Phil likes to point out that the Steel Nationals aren't affiliated with Steel Challenge. That is USPSA's loss because that match is full with other 300 entries yearly with little advertising, and is better than every other "official" steel challenge match I've attended. Where as USPSA is bragging that they got a whopping 141 entries at the WSSC. Edited December 7, 2015 by PPGMD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickT Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I'd say go someplace else if you don't like California. Then SLOSA, the home club of the Hogue range, won't have to cancel their regular monthly SC match due the exhausting effort of putting on WSSC at the last moment. BTW, I'm sure you can find an (easily reversible) permanent magazine modification to 10 round capacity. No LEO is going to test the "epoxy" on your base plate to see if it's really permanent. Just don't flaunt our ridiculous laws by bring in HC mags and shooting three stages without a mag change. It seems you're stuck with California next year, but the Nation's heartland beckons.

bigtimelarry Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 PPGMD is Right.. Why have a National/World match where it's a Crime to bring your Normal Gear into the State.. It's Lame.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I'm not exactly a CA fan but the match fees as compared to the US Steel Nationals may also be a factor as well .... It will be interesting to see what Mike Foley's take on all this is as well ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoracer Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 While I would like to see it closer even, the USSA in Tulsa is one of my favorite places and I only shot there once. Just about as central as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping that when it comes time to appointing members for a steel challenge committee that the members are steel challenge shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoracer Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) I was born in CA. I could bring at most 3 guns, rimfire rifle, rimfire pistol, and single stack 9mm 1911. All of which I have shot in SC events. Oh I forgot I have an S&W 986 on layaway also. Edited December 8, 2015 by photoracer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackJones Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 I'm going to plan on shooting it. I can get 10-round Glock magazines for under $25 each so investing $125 for mags is cheap compared to air fare, hotel, meals, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoracer Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 If I went the 10rd Glock mag route I could shoot Limited and Open with my G34 and the 2 separate slides that go with it. I am sure I am a little faster with my STI Open and Bul Limited guns but would prefer no hassle verses the possibility of hassles. Trouble is the only thing I can use those mags for later is SC or the PSA Shootout. And what's to say later they don't drop to a 7 round limit.

Nimitz Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 so what qualifies as a 10 rd 9mm STI magazine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPGMD Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 so what qualifies as a 10 rd 9mm STI magazine? They make a 10 round 9mm STI magazine and they are $63 each at Brazos. So an over $300 investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Yeah, that's not happening ... I guess I could just buy one and make everyone wait while I reloaded after each string .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 That's what I did when I switched over to an STI open gun. Worked just fine. I actually bought some from members here and didn't have to pay retail. This situation is nothing new, been going on for years as there have been countless threads just like this. If you love the match and want to shoot with the best you will figure out how to make it happen. If you don't like it being in California then find another range and staff to run the match and submit it to HQ. It is that simple. Let's find something else to focus on.....

Warkitz Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Well all just shoot single stack lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) Or someone could setup a "rent-a-mag" company .... Take rental orders on-line and then just setup with a booth outside the main gate. As competitors drive up to the range they stop off and pick up their mags for the match ... Drop-off box on the way out ... Edited December 14, 2015 by Nimitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
