SUMMARY:GPA Match
DESCRIPTION:This is a Galactic Pistol Alliance (GPA) match. GPA is very similar to IDPA but operates under a different (and relaxed) set of rules.  Notable differences are: \n\n24 rounds maximum per stage\nCarry as many mags as desired\nOne mandatory reload per stage – you decide when and where\nTargets may be required to be shot while moving\nNo tactical priority while shooting in the open\nDrop a loaded mag with no penalty\nUnlimited steel targets\nUnlimited non-threats\nNo cover garment\n½ second scoring\n\nThe biggest difference is in the shooter classification system. Stages have a PAR time\, and you are ‘graded’ on how you stacked up against your fellow competitors. Your classification can be adjusted up/down depending on your performance match to match. \nGPA FAQ’s \nComplete GPA rule book can be found here. \nGPA matches at NWCSA usually consist of 6-7 different courses of fire (stages) where you will shoot about 150 rounds of service ammo (9mm/.38cal min). Shooters are timed and coupled with accuracy of fire a score will be assigned. There are no awards or cash prizes. Shooters attend a GPA match to learn and improve their skills in a safe and friendly environment. \nSafety brief\, pledge\, and walk through of first stages begins 8:45AM. \nPlease arrive 45-60 min before match start time to register and gear up. \nPlease note that pre-registration and payment is required on Practiscore. \nIf you have never shot an Action Pistol type competition and would like to learn more we offer a no cost 2-3 hour workshop that will cover everything you need to know to be ready for your first match. If interested\, please contact ap@nwcsa.org.
