Theeventthisyearat-tracted shooters fromas far away as Mis-souri. The Friday be-fore the match sawover three inches ofrain which delayedsetting up until lateafternoon and alsocaused worry aboutmuddy conditions inthebays,butthankstosunandwind,thebayswere in good shapeon Saturday for thestart of the match.

The first day of the match proved to be a huge increase over last year. According tomatch co-hosts Leonard Johnson and Glen Webber, 598 shooters fired on Saturday,more than the total of 2011 where 597 shooters shot over both days. This unfortunate-ly caused longer than anticipated delays at some of the stages, but the shooters under-

stood what was causing the delay. Thanks to TheOink Joint BBQ caterer whowas on site to provide excellent food so that the shooters could “fill up” whilethey waited. The second day of the match went a lot quicker for everyone inthat 278shooterswent through the stagesandeveryonewasfinishedby4pm.

GSSF ANNUAL SHOOT XVIII What is believed to be the largest action shoot-ing competition in history with 1,023 entries washeld September 23rd-25th, 2011, at the South RiverGun Club near Conyers, GA (just outside of Atlanta).

Competitors, bothmale and female,of all ages andabilities,competedover GSSF stan-dard courses offire with variousGLOCKModelpis-tols, ably assistedbyUSPSAGeorgiaSectionRangeOf-ficers (75+ volun-teers)andGLOCKemployees. Thetop shooter in thelargest Division,Amateur Civilian,was Wei Young,a competitor fromNorth Carolina.It is thought shemay be the firstfemale competi-tor to win a majoraction shooting competition, besting 400+ other individualcompetitors,maleandfemale,andpropellingherintoGSSFMaster status. Ms.Young had earlier in the year won the“LadiesOnly”GSSFmatchnearCharleston,SC,givingheraberthintheprestigiousGLOCK“GunnyChallenge”,hostedbythe“Gunny”himself,R.LeeErmey,andasanaddedat-traction,countrymusicstarTravisTritt joined inon the fun.

SHOOTING PLATES AND TRIGGER CONTROL By Randi Rogers

My favorite stage in theGLOCKSport Shooting Founda-tionmatch isGLOCK the plates. I love to hear the “ting”as I hit the target and see the plate fall! However, manyshooters find the plates stage to be the most difficult.

The biggest trick in shooting the plates well is learn-ing good trigger control. With only 8” of plate to hit youmust have good trigger control to keep from pulling theshot off the target. If you are struggling with this stage,then here are a few tips on helping your trigger control.

When you pull the trigger pull straight back, squeezinggentlyuntil theshot “surprises”youbygoingoff.DONOT“curl” your finger as you pull; thiswill cause you to shootlow left. DO NOT jerk the trigger; this will cause you toshoot low.DOsqueezegentlyuntil theshotbreakskeep-ing your sights aligned and on target. Here are a coupleof drills you can work on to improve your trigger control.

30.20 Once you have learned the basics of safely han-dling and firing your firearm you can improveyour firearm skills before shooting any match bysetting goals for yourself and practicing. Prac-tice dry firing (manipulating the firearm withno ammunition) to help you achieve this goal.

30.30 Onlyperformdryfiringwithanunloadedfirearm.Youshouldnothaveanymagazineswithammunitioninthesameroomwithyou.Standinapositionthatwillsupporta steadyhold.

30.40 When you feel confident, practice live firing at a


shooting range. Use the techniques you practiceddry firing. Remember that stages of fire and tar-gets may change, but the techniques for shootingboth accurately and quickly are always the same.

30.50 A new shooter should concentrate on accu-racy more than speed. Shoot at your ownspeed to the best of your ability and have fun!

For thisprocesstoworkcorrectly toyouradvantageyoumust firstfollowthesign-in&squaddingproceduredescribedbelow. By following the sign-in & squadding pro-cedures you’ll have amore pleasantmatch expe-rience. Not understanding and not following theorganizational procedures will cause unneces-saryandfrustratingdelaysforyourselfandothers.

Competitors and Range Officers must fol-low this sign-in & squadding procedure:

If at any time theseprocedures are not being fol-lowed, please contact the GSSF Range Master.Youmayaskanyof the volunteerRangeOfficerswheretolocatetheGSSFRangeMasteratanytime.

1. To establish your “first come, first served” pri-ority for theday, immediatelyafteryouhavecom-pleted the registration process and have receivedyour scoresheet labels you must sign in at eachof the threematchstage locationsof yourchoice.At some matches, there will be one sign-in areaforeachGLOCK ’M,Five toGLOCKandGLOCKthePlatesstagesetup. Othermatchesmayhavea sign-in areaat each individual shootingpit con-taining multiple stage setups. Each match willvary due to the shooting pit lay-out. If you haveany questions, feel free to ask Range Officersor the RangeMaster. Be advised, theremay beseveral duplicate set-up’s for each stage of fire.

• If there is more than one stage set up,be sure to return to the same stage location toshoot that stage. A competitor may choose tosign up for one stage at several stage locations.After completing the stage of fire, the competi-tor should inform the other stage locations to re-move his or her name from the sign-in sheet.

• Multiple entries by an individual shouldbe signed in one after another. However, withone exception only two entries may be fired insuccession. The Range Officer or competitorsmay arrange the squad scoresheets to complywith this rule AFTER they have been squadded.


If a competitor has three total entries and no oneelse in the squad objects, that competitor mayshootallthreeentriesbacktobacktoback.Ifany-one in the squad objects, the competitor will shoothis or her three entries in the normal “shoot two,step off the line for another competitor’s entry (ortwoentries), returnandshoot the thirdentry”order.

cer may signal to the sign-in area Range Of-ficer if it is within sight of the stage position.

OR • The scorekeeping Range Officer will man-

age the sign-in area and distribute scoresheetsfor the next eight priority based entries.

Cycle timeshouldbeabout5or6minutesperen-try, depending on competitor and Range Officerefficiency. No one is allowed to “jump” a shootingorder once a squad has been established. Theexception is for range officials who need to shootthrough and return to work their stage set-up.

7. After completing the stage of fire, be sureyou stay with the Range Officer and score-keeper as the targets are being scored and re-corded on your scoresheet. (See 130.85)

8. You are not required to staywith a squad afteryoucompleteastageoffire. Howeverpleasehelpthe Range Officer’s paste and reset steel whenwaiting to complete your entries. (See 120.40)

110.30 Range Officers have the authority to make rea-sonable alterations to the shooting order.

110.40 Exception for Range Officers. Range Officersmay be placed at or near the top of the shoot-ing order upon their request. This will allowthem to finish competing as soon as possibleand get back to manning their respective stage.

110.50 Handling multiple competitor entries. Competi-tors entering more than two divisions will onlybe allowed to shoot two consecutive entries insuccession, except that a competitor who hasno more than three entries may shoot themin succession if no one in the squad objects.

110.60 Inorder toaccommodateallcompetitorsand tofin-ish as quickly as possible for our volunteers, weask that competitors not take excessive delays tobegin shooting. This applies to those not makingthemselves available when there are no competi-torswaitingatastage. Weunderstand thatGSSFmatches are fun, social events but please beginshooting when the opportunity presents itself assoon as possible. Once you have finished shoot-ing you are free to socialize as much as you like.

130.00 STAGE PROCEDURES

130.10 Each host club range has its own safety consid-erations, range design and range constructionconstraints. At allmatches youwill shoot targetsat distances ranging from 5 to 25 yards. Steeltargets are aminimum distance of 10 yards fromthe shooter for safety. The Range Master maychangetargetdistances,targetspacing,andtargetheights above ground based on range conditions.

130.20 You are expected to read and understand thestage description before you are called to the fir-ingline.Thedescriptionsarepublishedlaterinthisdocument and are usually posted at the stage lo-cations.

130.25 UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO TOUCH YOUR FIREARM UNTIL EVERY-ONE HAS RETURNED BEHIND THE FIR-ING LINE AND THE RANGE OFFICER DI-RECTS YOU TO HANDLE YOUR FIREARM.

130.30 When you are the “on deck” competitor and the“up” competitor in frontof youhasfinishedshoot-ing, has secured their equipment and hasmoveddownrangewiththeRangeOfficerstowitnessscor-ing, feel free to step up to the shooting positionand lay out yourmagazines. Wait for theRangeOfficers to return fromscoring,pasting,andreset-ting the targets so theymay give you instructionsto handle your firearm at the appropriate time.

130.40 REPEAT: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO TOUCH YOUR FIREARM UN-TIL EVERYONE HAS RETURNED BEHIND THE FIRING LINE AND THE RANGE OFFI-CER DIRECTS YOU TO HANDLE YOUR FIRE-ARM. The traditional command that allowsyou to handle your firearm is “Load and makeready”. This is often shortened to “MakeReady”.

130.50 Please listen to the Range Officer’s explanationscarefully.TheRangeOfficersaretheretosafelyas-sistyouandmakeyourexperiencemoreenjoyable.Theywelcomeyourquestions.YoumayalsocalltheRangeMasterforareviewandclarificationoftherules.

130.55 To avoid confusion, check that the scorer isabout to start scoring YOUR scoresheet andnot someone else’s. If you have multiple en-tries, make sure that the scorer is scoring theentry you are actually shooting at that time andnot scoring on one of your other scoresheets.

130.60 Start position. Follow Range Officer instructionsatalltimesateachstage.AftertheRangeOfficerhas directed you to handle and load your firearm(“MakeReady”),youwillstartinoneofthetwoac-ceptable “ready” positions. Hold your firearm inyour hands,with your forearms touching your tor-so.TheGLOCKmuzzleispointedintotheimpactbermbehind the targets, parallel to thegroundorlower,at thegroundbetweenyouand the targets.Alternatively,holdyourfirearmin the“LowReady”position; both arms holding the firearm, armsroughlystraight,firearmpointedat thegroundNOMORETHANabout6feetinfrontoftheshooter,atthesole judgmentof theRangeOfficer.

130.70 Makesureyoukeep thefirearmpointed inasafedirection (towards the targets) at all times es-pecially when reloading and unloading. Fail-ure to do so will disqualify you from the match.

130.80 Whenyouhavecompletedshootingyourentry,theRangeOfficerwill instructyoutounloadandshowclear. Regardless of whether you plan to shootanother entry, your firearm must be holstered or


secured in a suitable container (see Transport ofFirearms and Equipment at the Range, 70.10) be-foreanyonecanproceeddownrange. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE FIREARMS TO BE LEFT OUT IN THE OPEN AND UNATTENDED AT THE SHOOTING POSITION WHEN ANYONE IS DOWN RANGE EVEN IF THE FIREARM WAS JUST USED TO SHOOT THE LAST ENTRY AND WILL BE USED AGAIN TO SHOOT THE NEXT ENTRY.

130.85 (See also Section 160.20) PAY ATTENTION TOTHE SCORING PROCESS! We strongly sug-gest that you “look over the Range Officer’sshoulder” as he calls out the hits on your targetsand as they are recorded on your scoresheet!

Although the Range Officers do the scoring YOU,NOT THE RANGE OFFICER, are responsiblefor the accuracy or inaccuracy, as the case maybe, of the score entered on your scoresheet. If aRange Officer knew he or she wasmaking an er-ror, he or shewould notmake it in the first place!

You may initial your scoresheet after it has beenscored. The specific purpose of initialing yourscoresheet is to allow you the time and opportu-nity to review your scoresheet and confirm thatit is complete and correct BEFORE you initial it.

If a carbon copy is available take your copyof the scoresheet from the Range Offi-cer. Once the targets are pasted, no chang-es will be permitted on your scoresheet unlessthe Range Officer(s) concur with a correction.

The original scoresheets always stay with theRange Officers and are eventually passedon to the Match Registrar to be tallied.

We strongly suggest that you calculate your scorefrom your carbon copies BEFORE you leave thematch. Ifyou thereby identifyascoringerror,seekout the Range Officers at the stage setup whereyoushot thatstage,and/or theGSSFPersonnel inattendanceasthecasemaybe,anddiscussitwiththemso thatproper remedialactionmaybe taken.

(Exception:Duringwindy“WindRules”conditionsasdeemedby theRangeMaster or to facilitate entries at large matcheswith limitedstagesetups,or if theHostclubdoesnot have requisite numbers of steel targets for alldesired stage setups.) Calibration is performedby the Range Master with factory 9x19mm am-munition, with a low (below the circle on a stan-dardPepperPopper) hit on steel targets. If steelfails to fall after a defined hit, the target maybe re-shot by the range staff to test calibration.

Guardian competitors should be aware that thisrule is a relic of an obsolete GSSFAward distri-bution system whereby it was often to a Guard-ian’s advantage to shoot in the Civilian categoryinstead. This is no longer the case and in mostinstances it is now to the advantage of an eli-gible Guardian competitor to remain in Guardian.

YOU CAN GET THERE FROM HEREIn years past we have included maps to the variousGSSF Host Club facilities within the “GLOCK Report”.

InanageoftheincreasingavailabilityanduseoftheInternet,GPSdevices,andsmartcellphones,itisgettingeasierandeasiertolearnhowtogettoplacesyouhaveneverbeenbefore.

The maps will remain available on the GSSF website,gssfonline.comshouldyouwishtoprintoneoutathometotakewithyouwhenyoutraveltothematchesofyourchoice.

We have obtained most of the following informationfrom the website findlatitudeandlongitude.com. It is veryuseful to find a given location on amap, then switch overto a hybrid satellite photo overlaid with map information,so you can pinpoint the match location, get a birds eyeview of the host range itself, aswell as nearby landmarks

that might help you to find the range. Another similarsource for such information is maps.google.com.

On start signal, Firearm is swung up from the shoulders, wrists locked. Finger(s) must be outside the firearm’s trigger guard until start signal sounds).

Stage Procedure 3 Strings of FireCompetitor may load a maximum of 11 rounds per string of fire. At the signal, engage each D-1 target with only 2 rounds each, in any order and successfully engage only one steel target of the competitor’s choice. Only one scored steel tar-get per string. No stacking allowed on D-1 targets. Shooter may take extra shots to hit one steel target per string only without penalty.Best 6 hits will be scored per paper target, 24 paper rounds. Plus 0, 1, 2 or 3 hits on steel targets as the case may be for a total of 27 scored rounds.

MajorSub onlyCompetitor may load a maximum of 7 rounds per string of fire. At the signal, engage each D-1 Target with only 1 round each, in any order and successfully engage only one steel target of the competitor’s choice. No stacking allowed on D-1 targets. Only one scored steel target per string. Shoot-er may take extra shots to hit one steel target per string only without penalty. Best three hits will be scored per D-1 target for a total of 12 paper rounds. Plus 0, 1, 2 or 3 hits on Steel targets as the case may be for a total of 15 scored rounds.

Between StringsCompetitor may at will and/or may be instructed to reload GLOCK firearm between each string. Competitor may not reload during a string of fire.

GLOCK ScoringScoring: 27 Scored rounds (15 scored rounds for MajorSub)Targets: 4, NRA D-1 Targets (or other comparable target). 3 “Pepper Popper” steel targest (or other comparable target)Scored hits: Best 6 hits per paper target (Best 3 hits per paper target for Ma- jorSub) A/B hit: +0 seconds C hit: +1 Second D hit: +3 Seconds Miss: +10 SecondsSuccessful hit on steel target: +0 secondsMiss on steel target: +10 seconds.

Except when in “Ring & Paint” mode, Steel hit must fall to score.Ring & Paint mode: One steel target is set to not fall. This steel target is engaged on each string. Steel is scored when hit. This method may be used as an option at some match locations at the discretion of the GSSF Range Master, usual-ly due to high winds but sometimes due to range restrictions involving falling steel targets or to facilitate large matches.Start-Stop: Audible – Last Shot.Penalties: Procedural: +10 secondsExtra Shot: (paper only) + 10 seconds

Setup NotesEstablish a shooting position and centerline on the range extending from the shooting position. Set targets at appro-priate distances from the shooting position and centerline.

Distances and heights may vary at the discretion of the Range Master due to range conditions and safety. Distanc-es shown in stage setup diagrams should be considered to be approximate, not mandatory. If altered from stage setup diagrams, target distances should be the same amongst multiple stage setups within a given GSSF match.

Note: Distances between paper targets are measured from the centerline to the inside edge on D-1 targets. Distances between the centerline and steel targets are measured to the center of the steel target.

RO Notes“MajorSub” match entries use their own unique scoresheet. Different in color from the “main” scoresheet used for all other match Divisions and having a “3” in the “Total” col-umns for the Paper targets as contrasted with a “6” in the “Total” columns on the “main” scoresheets. If an incorrect label is attached to a particular scoresheet, do not bother to peel labels off and restick it to the “right” scoresheet. Simply cross off the “3”s or “6”s as the case may be, in the “Totals” columns and write in the “correct” per-target totals for that particular entry and move on.

Hits must only touch the scoring line to be scored the higher hit value. Benefit of the doubt is awarded to the competitor.

Firearm will be loaded with no more than 11 rounds, 7 rounds for MajorSub. Competitors will be assessed extra shot penalties for each extra shot fired. Competitors will not be assessed any extra hit penalties for any extra hits on a target. Only the extra shot penalty will apply.


GLOCK‘M

A competitor is allowed to hit one Steel target per string. If a competitor hits more than one Steel target on a given string the competitor will be assessed a miss for that Steel target or Steel targets on the subsequent string or strings where that target was no longer available. No procedural penalties will be assessed.

Re-shoots can be awarded to the competitor in the case of range equipment malfunction or failure or due to scoring er-rors or omissions. If competitor has an equipment or ammu-nition failure, competitor may have one re-shoot attempt at a “clean” run.

If shooter has a second such malfunction shooter is to re-move the faulty equipment and ammunition from the line and allow the match to proceed. Competitor should consult the Armorer or change ammunition or otherwise take whatever steps are necessary to correct the problem. Once corrected, shooter is allowed to reshoot the Course of Fire to obtain a “clean” run for final score.

When competitors complete the course of fire, have them un-load and show clear. All firearms must be properly holstered or secured in a GLOCK box, bag, or suitable container before the shooter leaves the shooting position and/or anyone is al-lowed downrange. Unloaded firearms secured in holsters will have the slide locked to the rear.

(Ready: Firearm held in hands with muzzle pointed into berm, no higher than parallel to the ground or low-er with competitor’s forearms touching the torso. On start signal, Firearm is “punched” out at the targets. Low Ready; Arms extended, Firearm pointed at ground about 6’ in front of shooter. On start signal, Firearm is swung up from the shoulders, wrists locked. Finger(s) must be outside the firearm’s trigger guard until start signal sounds).

Stage Procedure

3 Strings of FireCompetitor may load a maximum of 11 rounds per string. Of these only 9 rounds are intended to be fired per string. A round left in the chamber after a string has been fired is intended to facilitate reloading between strings only.At the signal, engage targets 1, 2, 4, and 5 with only 2 rounds each, and target 3 with one round only, in any order. Target 3 is the inverted target. No stacking allowed.Best 6 hits will be scored per paper targets 1, 2, 4, and 5; 24 rounds. Plus 0, 1, 2 or 3 hits on inverted target #3 as the case may be for a total of 27 scored rounds.

MajorSub onlyCompetitor may load a maximum of 7 rounds per string of fire. Of these only 5 rounds are intended to be fired per string. A round left in the chamber after a string has been fired is intended to facilitate reloading between strings only.At the signal, engage each D-1 Target with only 1 round each, in any order. No stacking allowed on D-1 targets. Best three hits will be scored per D-1 target for a total of 15 scored rounds.

Between StringsCompetitor may at will and/or may be instructed to reload GLOCK firearm between each string. Competitor may not reload during a string of fire.

GLOCK ScoringScoring: 27 Scored rounds. (15 scored rounds for MajorSub)Targets: 5, NRA D-1 Targets (or other comparable target).Scored hits: Best 6 Hits per Targets 1, 2, 4, and 5: Targets 1, 2, 4, and 5 only: A/B hit: 0 seconds C hit: +1 Second D hit: +3 Seconds Miss: + 10 secondsScored hits: Best 3 hits per Target 3 for MajorSub Inverted Target #3 only substitutes for steel targets. Any A, B, C, or D Hit; 0 seconds Miss: + 10 secondsStart-Stop: Audible – Last Shot.Penalties: Procedural: +10 seconds Extra Shot: (paper only) + 10 seconds Miss: + 10 seconds

Setup NotesEstablish a shooting position and centerline on the range ex-tending from the shooting position. Set targets at appropriate distances from the shooting position and centerline.

Distances and heights may vary at the discretion of the Range Master due to range conditions and safety. Distances shown in stage setup diagrams should be considered to be approximate, not mandatory. If altered from stage setup dia-grams, target distances should be the same amongst multiple stage setups within a given GSSF match.

Ensure that target 3, whichever target is so designated, is inverted (upside down).

RO Notes“MajorSub” match entries use their own unique scoresheet. Different in color from the “main” scoresheet used for all other match Divisions and having a “3” in the “Total” columns for the Paper targets as contrasted with a “6” in the “Total” col-umns on the “main” scoresheets. If an incorrect label is at-tached to a particular scoresheet, do not bother to peel labels off and restick it to the “right” scoresheet. Simply cross off the “3”s or “6”s as the case may be, in the “Totals” columns and write in the “correct” per-target totals for that particular entry and move on.

Hits must only touch the scoring line to be scored the higher hit value. Benefit of the doubt is awarded to the competi-tor. Any hit on Target #3, which substitutes for steel targets, counts as one “A/B” or “Steel” hit with +0 seconds added.

Firearm will be loaded with no more than 11 rounds, 7 rounds for MajorSub. Competitors will be assessed extra shot penalties for each extra shot fired. Competitors will not be assessed any extra hit penalties for any extra hits on a target. Only the extra shot penalty will apply.

Re-shoots can be awarded to the competitor in the case of range equipment malfunction or failure or due to scoring er-rors or omissions. If competitor has an equipment or ammu-nition failure, competitor may have one re-shoot attempt at a “clean” run.

If shooter has a second such malfunction shooter is to re-move the faulty equipment and ammunition from the line and allow the match to proceed. Competitor should consult the Armorer or change ammunition or otherwise take whatever steps are necessary to correct the problem. Once corrected,


shooter is allowed to reshoot the Course of Fire to obtain a “clean” run for final score.

When competitors complete the course of fire, have them unload and show clear. All firearms must be properly hol-stered or secured in a GLOCK box, bag, or suitable con-tainer before the shooter leaves the shooting position and/or anyone is allowed downrange. Unloaded firearms secured in holsters will have the slide locked to the rear.

Stage Procedure4 Strings of FireCompetitor may load a maximum of 11 rounds per string.

Major Sub Competitor may load a maximum of 7 rounds per string.

All divisionsAt the signal, engage 6 Steel plates in any order. Time will stop when the 6th plate falls or the last round is expended, whichever happens first.Competitor may at will and/or may be instructed to reload the GLOCK firearm between each string. Competitor may not reload during a string of fire.

GLOCK ScoringScoring 24 Scored rounds maximumTargets 6, 8” round steel plates*.Scored hits Steel must fall to scoreStart-Stop Audible – Last Shot.Penalties Miss: + 10 seconds. Note: Miss penalties are only applied when steel is left standing after competitor has fired all 11 rounds (7 rounds MajorSub).*Plates will usually be 8” diameter round plates but actual size and shape may vary depending upon what plates the host club has most readily available for use.

Setup NotesPosition the plate rack. Using a 100’ tape measure, estab-lish the shooting position by positioning the Zero point of the tape measure at one end of the plate rack, the 66’ point of the tape measure at the other end of the plate rack, then find the shooting position at the 33’ point of the tape when tightly stretched back in a “V” shape.

RO NotesAll entries, including MajorSub entries, use the same, usu-ally white, scoresheet.

Re-shoots may be awarded to the competitor in the case of range equipment malfunction or failure or due to scoring errors or omissions. If competitor has an equipment or am-munition failure, competitor may have at least one re-shoot attempt at a “clean” run. If the nature of malfunctions is relatively minor, at the Range Officers discretion only, the Range Officer(s) may allow a reasonable number of attempts for the shooter to shoot four “clean” runs. Upon completion, shooter should seek out the

match Armorer to remedy the problem.

If shooter has continuing malfunctions such that the shooter cannot successfully complete four clean runs, shooter is to remove the faulty equipment and ammunition from the line and allow the match to proceed. Competitor should con-sult the Armorer or change ammunition or otherwise take whatever steps are necessary to correct the problem. Once corrected, shooter is allowed to reshoot the Course of Fire to obtain a “clean” run for final score.

GLOCK THE

PLATES


THE FAMILY THAT SHOOTS TOGETHEROf the many accomplishments that the GLOCK Sport Shooting Founda-tion (GSSF) has had over the years, the fact that we have provided a “fam-ily friendly” safe and fun shooting environment is one we are most proud of and grateful for. We could go on and on about both national and world champions bringing their children to GSSF events to introduce them to competitive shooting, or single parents giving their offspring a safe and fun introduction to matches, but one family recently caught our attention.

The Sieverts family of Arizona has been with GLOCK and GSSF for almost two decades. 20 years is a fair amount of time, and Ken and Robin have been shooting with us all over the country. When their two boys were old enough and big enough to effectively operate a semi-automatic pistol, they got in on the fun. Oh boy, did they…

The first picture of the little boys was taken at the old Rio Sal-ado match out-side of Mesa, AZ, about 1993. Ken travels a bit for a living, and he

and Robin had taken up the pistol for safety and security reasons. They received world class training at Gunsite outside of Prescott, AZ. They enjoyed shooting for its own sake, and Ken had discov-ered GSSF locally. In addition to homemaking, Robin worked in the legal field and was also an accomplished vocalist. She went along, tried her hand at the GSSF courses of fire and became one of the early Ladies’ champions. Ken has achieved Master status in GSSF.

The next picture, circa 1995, was also at a GSSF match in Alpine, CA, north of San Diego. Obviously, the Sieverts boys, Hans and Joey, were growing (as children do) and would soon be “on the line” at matches. Ken and Robin planned trips around the GSSF schedule, and sometimes a vacation highlight was a side trip to a GSSF match!

Fast forward 16+ years, and our latest visit with the Sieverts family was at the Las Vegas match just this past January. Robin was running her trusty G17, Ken carries and shoots a G19, Hans, 23 years young, has a G19, and Joey, 22, races with a G17. Shooting together for over 20 years – a great family with a great tradition!

GLOCK and GSSF salute the Sieverts family, and are grate-ful for their support and friendship over the years. See you on a range somewhere!

Meet GSSF’s Newest Lifetime Members

A “Thank You” From the GSSF Staff 2011 was a banner year for GSSF! We saw a number of “firsts”. Just when we thought it couldn’t get much bigger, we crossed the 1000 entry line at the GLOCK Annual Shoot XVIII in Conyers, GA with 1023 entries. The top Civilian shooter was also the top Adult Female shooter. Wei Young wowed us all by besting a field of 400 shooters in that divi-sion. She was the first Lady Matchmeister to compete in the Gunny Challenge that same weekend, thanks to having the top overall score at the Palmetto GLOCK Girl Shootout, the first ever Ladies Only GSSF Match in Reevesville, SC. Butch Barton was the first Back to Back winner of the Gunny Chal-lenge out of the seven years it has been held. He is also the first Matchmeister to win the cup 3 times!

2011 saw us expand our number of outdoor matches to 41 with several new events added to our schedule in Griffin, Georgia; Dayton, Ohio; Monroe, Louisiana; Dickson, Tennes-see; Beckley, West Virginia; and Clearwater, Florida. Griffin had a whopping 597 entries, not bad for their first event! While the other new events had smaller crowds, we appreciate them just as much and we look forward to setting new records with them in 2012.

Clearwater, Florida was actually our first match of 2012 and was a very pleasant trip away from the cold January weather. We arrived in Clearwater to beautiful, sunny skies

and temperatures in the 70s! The match was well run by co-ordinator Greg Scott and his group of volunteers. This first time match had 487 entries and can only go up from there! The JnG guys were in Orlando for the match in February and presented quite a lineup for us. They also managed to give Orlando coordinator, Mike Ross, a hand while they were there with some of his 684 entries, a new record for Orlando! We are just back from our match in Griffin and, with only their second match, they now hold the number two spot for all time high entry count with 876 entries in the course of two days. In fact, most of our matches set new records in 2011! Big matches are not just limited to the Eastern US: Rich-mond, California had the largest west coast match ever with 420 entries. We saw record attendance reach an all time high of 13,000 entries with an average of 324 entries per match! Our growth has been tremendous and we appreciate each and every member. Thank you to all of you that have joined, renewed, and attended a GSSF match in your area! Thanks to all the volunteers who help to run our matches. Without all the parts – volunteers and shooters – this would not be pos-sible.

Volume I, 2012 Pistol Giveaway Winner

Member’s CornerVolume I, 2012

Pistol Giveaway Winner I have been a member of GSSF for a few years now and I have to say I enjoy it immensely. It seems there are more and more shooting matches each year and that is a real big plus. A lot more matches closer to home and meet-ing a lot of great people, specially now being retired. I do have to say I was never a real big fan of GLOCK when they came out. The department I worked for at the time we were issued Sig Sauer P226s in 9mm and I thought no one could beat or come close to Sig. I even purchased a Sig Sauer P230 in .380 caliber for my back up and off duty sidearm. When GLOCK hit the market with their handguns we all said “How good could a plastic gun be?” Little by little, depart-ments started to switch over to GLOCKs in calibers from 9mm, .40S&W, .45ACP and even some in .45GAP. I still said no way I would depend on a plastic gun. I changed depart-ments and at the time we were able to carry semi autos made by Smith & Wesson, Sig Sauer and Ruger in 9mm up to a .45ACP. More and more departments were changing over to GLOCKs even faster now, and I still could not see a plastic sidearm. Soon, we all received a memo we are changing over to department issued sidearms and you guessed it GLOCKs in .40S&W caliber, model G23s. Also we would be able to purchase a GLOCK G27 for our back up and off duty side-arm. So we picked up our new GLOCK 23s and ammo, and we were ready for a week of GLOCK Transition of class-room training and on the range firing time to qualify. If you purchase your off duty and back up before the week was out you would be able to qualify in one sitting. I have to tell you, after the second day boy was I wrong how I felt about GLOCKs. On the way home on the second day I stopped at the gun shop I have always purchased from and purchased my off duty and back up GLOCK G27. Needless to say, I had no problems qualifying with my duty sidearm and my off duty sidearm. I was very impressed with the accuracy right out of the box with both the G23 and G27, the safety features, how easy it is to take down to clean etc. I do have to say the only thing I purchased and put on my model G27 was the bottom dust plug and changed the original bottom magazine plate to the pinkie extension magazine plate on both of my maga-zines. That has been it. If you want reliability, accuracy right out of the box put your money on a GLOCK you will not be sorry. It will be the best investment you make hands down. This year, I heard and read Florida Highway Patrol is switch-ing over to GLOCKs in .45GAP caliber. They have used Berettas as long as I can remember. When you make your purchase of a GLOCK, also join GSSF while you are at it. Get out there and have some fun competing in matches with other GSSF members. Have fun be careful and stay safe.

New GLOCK Armorer I want to thank GSSF, the instructor Jim Greene and the Clarksville Police Department for hosting, instructing and allowing me to attend the GLOCK Armorers Course on 25 Aug 11. The class was fantastic, fun and very educational. Jim was exceptional. His knowledge, presentation and help-ing hand was truly outstanding. The Clarksville PD were a great host and a lot of fun to be around. I learned a lot of valuable information, knowledge and the confidence that I was lacking. Now I know that I can fix any problem that should come up with my GLOCKs. My entire experience was incredible as is GLOCK.

Nice Shot! A week after shooting my 2nd GSSF match in Min-nesota in July, I combined two of my passions -- photogra-phy and handguns -- to produce some interesting images of my G19. First, I put 15+1 9mm 124 gr JHPs into the poster board-mounted target at about 7 yards at a local indoor range. Then I shot the attached photos with a 8-mega-pixel point-and-shoot camera mounted on a tripod. The simple, stark images were achieved by illuminating the target and pistol from above with a bare 100W bulb and from be-neath with a rechargeable lantern with the white balance set for the tungsten light. Post-processing was limited to some brightness and contrast changes in Microsoft Office Picture Maker and some editing in Adobe Photoshop to obscure the serial number and remove some blemishes from the poster board. Hope you like them.

Bring a Friend I’ve been a GSSF member for 6 years (now a Lifetime Member), and have been attending the matches by


myself. Either because my friends are not interested in the shooting sport or due to schedule conflicts, but when reunit-ing with an old class mate friend through social media, he was able to be my guest at the Norco, CA match 2011. He was super impacted by the diversity, politeness and talent of the GSSF staff and competitors. After the Norco match, he immediately signed up to be a 2-year GSSF member. Within a couple of months through the GSSF member pistol purchase program, he became the proud owner of a G34. The next local match was in November at Piru, CA, which we both registered for. My friend had an incredible time because it was his first ever shooting competition. He did pretty well and looks forward to next years’ matches. Because of this experience I now have a “GSSF buddy” to train and compete with. Thanks GSSF for bringing people together!

G ACalifornia Future Proud GLOCK Owner I have spent the majority of my life having to hide the fact that I am huge supporter of the second amend-ment. As a child, I lived in a house in which my father did not believe in women handling guns. To this day, he still maintains this view point, even after I survived a kidnap-ping/carjacking. I survived because I was willing to fight my way out; if I had had a gun, I would have spent less time with the perpetrator and the police would have caught him earlier, lessening the risk to others around us. As an adult, I had to hide my support for the sec-ond amendment because I wanted to be a teacher and in some states all it takes is parent suggesting that they fear me because they saw my car in front of a gun store, or they heard me mention my appreciation for the second amend-ment. As a teacher who was willing to fight and put my job on the line to support my students who were from pro-sec-ond amendment families I could not give the offending side any extra ammo to throw at me on why I should not be in a classroom. Now that I have lost my credential, because it timed out, and moved to a more gun friendly state, I have been able to start showing my support for the second amendment. I am now saving up for a 9mm GLOCK and participated in my first GLOCK Shoot event at the end of January. I at this event I went to support my husband and competed with his GLOCK 23 .40. I came in last but I am proud of the fact I at least competed. I only scored in the low 200s but since this is only the third time I have been shooting and considering the fact a 40 is way out of my league to handle, I have small hands, I am proud that I was able to hit the target most of the time and that I did not drop the gun. If you ever go to have a pro-second amendment rally in Kansas and need someone to speak on the impor-tance of the right to own and carry handguns I would be happy to help out. I feel that without companies like yours the United States might look a lot like parts of Africa and the Middle East where the government and the criminals have no fear of the people and run around doing whatever they feel like.

The Next Generation As a parent, we often get that exciting moment in our life to witness a “first time” activity with our kids. This proud moment came to me this past weekend as my son age 15, shot in his first GLOCK tournament at the JnG Gulf Coast Challenge in Clearwater, Florida. As a novice shooter myself, I was very proud of his overall efforts and more importantly his proper safe handling of his firearm. We had a wonderful time and as always, this first time GSSF match was a memorable one. My only problem is my son nearly out shot me on the plates and now he keeps asking me for his own G19!!!

The Ease of Maintenance I thought I’d share my happiness of how much fun it is to service a GLOCK pistol. I had already experienced the simplicity and accuracy of shooting a GLOCK, and when it came to the cleaning I was surprised how easy it was to disassemble the GLOCK. Just one simple move and the slide was separated from the receiver. The barrel and recoil spring are then no issue. Take it out, do the clean-ing and lubrication as usual. Put it back together and one move only to have the GLOCK ready to go again. Now, if I compare that with my Ruger .22 which is a complete differ-ent story. After the safety check I have to insert an empty magazine, pull the trigger to uncock the hammer. Then remove the magazine and swing the housing latch open. Insert again an empty magazine, point the muzzle upward and pull the trigger to drop the bolt. Remove the magazine and with forward blow separate the barrel-receiver assem-bly. Then do the cleaning. To reassemble I have to reverse the entire procedure, not to mention pulling the trigger while negotiating the housing latch. I guess you get the idea. Is it still fun to shoot the Ruger? Sure, if you don’t mind the occasional jams or misfires. However, I only use it for target shooting on the range. For serious business I have my wonderful GLOCK 23 GEN 4. And be assured, I don’t have a need to shop around for alternatives. I found the perfect match with my GLOCK.

Left-Handed Perfection I just received my first Gen 4 G26 and wanted to write in on a lefty’s viewpoint of “Left-Handed Perfection.” When I turned 21 I purchased a Colt 1991 and, for not too much under the price of a GLOCK, customized it to be left handed friendly. In 2000 I volunteered at my first GLOCK match and won a free GLOCK. I tried out all the models and picked a G19. After a few months of shooting the G19 I sold the Colt. Since then I have picked up a G34 and a G30sf. All 3 of these I have learned to quickly use left handed by us-ing my trigger finger to eject the magazine and a quick slide pull to drop the slide after a reload. At the 2011 Conyers Georgia GLOCK match I won another GLOCK and picked out a generation 4 G26 for concealed carry. I was very ex-cited to be getting a GLOCK with a left-handed magazine re-lease not to mention the 3 options to pick from for grip size. My G26 arrived and I couldn’t wait to start practicing with it. After getting the magazine release moved over I have found the larger magazine release to be perfectly placed and ejecting it with my left thumb just seems to come naturally. After some experimentation I have found that I prefer the large backstrap, my wife prefers the smallest no backstrap option and my father in law likes the medium backstrap. The features of this pistol are very impressive in that you can change the magazine release to be left or right handed AND adjust the backstrap to match the individual users hand size while keeping the GLOCK dependability. I hope I will be seeing more of the generation 4’s in my collection soon! J H Georgia

A Family Sport We are beginning our fourth year participating in GSSF. Since starting in 2009, our enthusiasm and interest has continued to grow with every match. We have been par-ticipating in nine or ten matches per year and plan our yearly trips around the GSSF schedule each January. With our teenage children also competing for the start of their fourth year, their level of marksmanship, safety and confidence is awesome. GSSF has given us another way to share interests with our kids, spend time together doing something fun and opportunities to compete. GSSF is a great, family friendly organization. We are always encouraging friends to join and

participate in GSSF. We know it takes an incredible amount of hard work to make all of the matches possible. Thank you to all of the staff at GSSF and GLOCK for making it all happen!!

R RNorth Carolina First Match Experience I just returned from my first GSSF match and found it an eye-opening experience. I am a retired federal law enforcement officer who is now in the “senior” category. Years ago when I first entered the training academy, I left as third in my class in firearms, earning an expert marksman certificate. Since that time during my active years, I always qualified in the higher group as scores went. Although I still shoot, though not as often since retiring, I had spent a month preparing for this match. A few days before the match I was really frustrated with my progress. I started to not attend, but decided it would be good to go just to experience what the matches are like. Well, needless to say I didn’t fare to well. Other than my poor performance, I was well pleased with the event. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. This is the first match I had ever attended and some may say it was this reason that I shot the way I did. I wish I could use that excuse but I can’t. The range officers made me and everyone feel very comfortable and there was no reason to feel nervous. It was a relaxed atmosphere. The only pres-sure is the pressure you would place on yourself. I told my-self after this match I would not enter another one until I got my shooting back to the point I could “compete” for a prize. After seeing the results of this match, I may have to change my thinking. With my age, and those darn bi-focals I have to wear, the chances of me returning to the point of my younger days and competing for a prize are slim to none. So my thinking now is that I have to approach this as not competing against the other shooters but competing against myself. I am thankful that joining GSSF has got me back to going to the range again and challenging myself. I may never win a prize, but going out and challenging myself to show that each day I can improve, is part of living through a “mid-life” crisis. I can sit back and grow old in a rocker or go out there and rock the targets and fight for my youth. One great thing about the match is that the armorer checked my 18 year old model 19 and gave it a good overhaul. He replaced the old

parts with new, modern parts. Too bad he couldn’t do that to me. That itself was an added bonus of attending the match. Two things I must point out for new members or anyone else attending a match and that is check your scorecard after each stage. The GLOCK Report men-tions that and I didn’t follow the advice. I shot two divisions with two different GLOCK models. The first incident came after I completed the GLOCK the Plates stage. The first seven strings (two firearms) I cleared all the plates. The last string, I left two plates standing. Later that evening when I had the courage to look at my scorecards, I noticed the scorer showed I had left three plates instead of two. That was a whole ten seconds added to my score. Fortunately my score was so low (or high if you wish), that it really wouldn›t have made a difference and was something to chalk up to experience. The second thing I encountered later was that of the six scoresheets, only one had a model number writ-


ten in. I had to think back about the day and try to write in myself what model firearm went with which scoresheet. So I encourage everyone to check your scoresheets before you initial them. T NTexas Helping New Shooters A work-place friend and his wife recently took a church sponsored self defense handgun class taught by a local law enforcement official. At the time they took the class, they did not own a handgun and one was supplied by the instructor for them to use under close supervision in the class. Guess what handgun they used – a GLOCK 19!! After the class was over the friend, who knew I had GLOCKs, called me and at a later date, I met him and his wife at the range. I brought my G17, G19, & G26. We went over all the features of each and then did some shooting. The wife, more than her husband, really took to the practice session. Her favorite was the G19 and she shot it well. They are look-ing in to purchasing a GLOCK. Love those GLOCKs!!

J JMacon, Ga Switching to Gen4 As a relatively new gun owner, I did not enjoy the benefits of growing up with guns. My parents were not against them - guns just weren’t a significant part of their lives so they didn’t feel the need to teach me about their proper use and safe handling.

Given the way the world is today, responsible ownership and proficiency with firearms is something I felt compelled to handle differently with my children. I want them to respect guns but not fear them. Guns are an important tool that everyone should be familiar with. In the quest to find a good gun to start teaching them with, I initially thought to get something in .22 caliber but it turned out that their first exposure came by way of my primary carry gun, a Gen3 GLOCK 19. 9mm proved to be a manageable caliber for everyone and the GLOCK 19 was a big hit with them, mainly because it was not too big and not too small. I recently switched things up by upgrading to a new Gen4 GLOCK 19. The new grip has eliminated the need for the grip tape I used with the Gen3 and the polymids provide the right measure of purchase without being overly aggres-sive or irritating. The larger mag release button improves manipulation for those with smaller hands so they do not have to shift the gun to drop the magazine now. We have also been impressed with the reduction in felt recoil thanks to the new recoil spring assembly. This will surely be the first of many Gen4s in our family collection! In closing, I just want to say I am truly thankful to live in a country where I have the freedom to raise up the next generation of my family to be responsible, educated gun owners (and voters!) who will be capable of defend-ing life and liberty from those who would do harm, and I am more than pleased to be able to use the next generation of GLOCK pistols as an excellent tool in pursuit of our goals.

Practice Plate Thirty years ago, I went shooting with my brother-in-law and shot a 30-06. I didn’t find any part of that to be fun including the six inch bruise on my shoulder. So for many years I had no interest in guns. But I was the only one who

felt that way. My wife had fun like everyone else that went that day. More re-cently, my son-in-law took me shooting, I only went because he and my daughter had so much fun shoot-ing. She even had her own gun! He had a wide variety of pistols available

to shoot and I had a great time. So, I spent the next 6 weeks surfing the internet for the “best first gun” and purchased a GLOCK 19 Gen 4 in mid October of this year. Since then I’ve put 800 rounds through my G19 and cant get enough! I’ve attached a pic of the plate we used for practice. I knew we had to put 18 rounds on a paper plate at 21 ft to qualify for our CCW permit. The plate is from 1 mag full at practice just three weeks after purchasing our GLOCK. I joined GSSF and plan to apply for membership for anoth-er 2 years so I can take advantage of all the things you have to offer. My plan is to get a G26 for concealed carry. I would also like to have a G21 and a G34. I’m hooked on GLOCKs as well as shooting. I never thought that guns and family fun would ever go together and be the one thing I would have in common with my wife, three girls and son-in-laws. My wife and I have gotten our CCW permits in Ohio. We both carry daily and try to practice weekly. J KOhio Lifetime Member I have never been in an organization / club that takes care of, or gives back so much to its members. I have been a part of the GSSF family for many years now and have recently made it permanent by becoming a Lifetime Member. Yes, I did say family because that is how the staff of GSSF makes you feel. Everyone there has always been helpful and courteous even if a problem or question should arise (messed up the registration form again.) Shooting the matches over the years has been a blessing in more ways than most can imagine. It has even fostered work relations. I shoot with a group of guys from work and the matches have become a competition within a competition. We don’t really care about our overall ranking at a match. We are all looking for bragging rights within our group. Even that quickly dies down as we start encouraging each other for the next match. G K Georgia

Improvement With a GLOCK Since I was a child I had always wanted a .45. I knew when I grew up that I would absolutely get one, specifi-cally a Colt M1911 – it’s an American icon. I was fascinated by the weapon and obsessed with getting one. As I grew older, I purchased a couple of hand guns, none of which were the 1911, and began entering some local shooting chal-lenges. It was fun and I did okay for a beginner; however, I noticed quite a few participants shooting a 1911 variant. At first, I was very excited to see how it performed but quickly learned what they already knew – it was not very reliable, jammed frequently, had a low round capacity and not very fluid in design. Its functionality and performance were more romanticized and legendary than reality. I was very disap-pointed. During these matches I did notice something else though. It was the prevalence of GLOCKS. I knew about them and the outstanding reputation, saw one up close (my brother is a police officer) but never fired one. I quickly became interested in the GLOCK line of handguns, rented one and within 2 weeks, purchased my first GLOCK in June of 2011 – the G21 (my first .45 caliber weapon). As soon as I got home, I joined GSSF and have become very enthusiastic about it and GLOCKS in general. Previously, my performance in my local matches hovered around the 10th – 12th place consistently, but the first match I used my new G21, I came in 5th overall and 4th in accuracy. I was so impressed with the GLOCK, its han-dling, comfort and reliability, that I knew the improvements in performance were absolutely due to the superior design and functionality of the gun. Since then, I have become a sponge for learning about GLOCK and improving my shooting with modifying my grip, using the trigger reset, etc. and have come in 3rd place overall several times. I have never regretted my decision to forego the 1911 and get a GLOCK. There are two things that I know are true, the sun will come up tomorrow and my GLOCK will fire each and every time without fail. I hope to participate in my first GSSF match in 2012 and look forward to meeting new friends in what I call the GLOCK FLOCK.

D MArizona New to the Indoor League I had planned a trip from Columbia, SC to Dalton, Georgia this past weekend and saw from your email there was a league match in Canton on Friday night so I sched-uled my time to go by and check it out. I got there a little before the scheduled match time and was able to shoot. Actually, I shot three times since I was there and they had the lanes available and encouraged everyone to shoot as many times as they wanted. I thought the range did a real good job of running the matches and were encouraging to everyone there. Based on conversation with several of the people in attendance there were several people there for the first time but everyone ap-peared to have a good time and enjoyed the competition. The real irony ... my wife wants to plan a trip to Rome April 14th for a college reunion ... I told her I would be happy to go (to her surprise ...) but, we will be going by Can-ton Friday night for their April 13th competition. Now if I can just figure out a reason (good excuse ...) for a trip up there in March I will be all set.


I shot the matches in Columbia, Conyers and Summerville (Charleston) last year and plan to add a North Carolina match this year now that I am hooked. Thanks to all of the GSSF personnel and host ranges for providing these opportunities for the rest of us ... C JSouth Carolina

10 Years With GSSF Ten years ago my son and myself started shooting GSSF matches. My first was at Statesville. Since then we have

been to Lexing-ton, Jacksonville, Pensacola, An-niston, Conyers, Columbis, Canton, Griffin, Anderson, Columbia, Creed-moor, Morganton, and Knoxville. We also went to the first two Gunny Challenge Matches at Las Vegas; my son won second place

at the first one. We also went to the SHOT Show and then attended the banquet at Caeser’s Palace where the awards were given and we had the honor of shaking hands with Mr. Glock, the inventor of the world’s best pistol. We have made a lot of friends in the last ten years at the GSSF matches. We got to know a lot of the GSSF staff members, Alan, Scott, Chris, Cindy, Scotty, Donna, Erin, & Vicki. You all are what make the GSSF what it is, the very best. No other company comes close. GLOCK is #1. My son lives in Georgia and I live in North Carolina and as a 72-year-old man with two torn rotator cuffs I am blessed by the grace of the good Lord that I can still shoot my GLOCKs and enjoy good clean fun with my son at the GSSF matches. We hope for another ten years of GSSF. No bells. No whistles. Just GSSF Perfection.

Senior Shooter Boy…what a challenge to stand before a set of targets, on a timer, under the watchful eyes of the Range Officer and shoot a GLOCK. My old eyes blinked, my GLOCK 17 moved, a bang sounded, there was a hole in the paper target or a pluck on the metal plates. I like it! It is better than a soap opera or the weather channel, I was hooked! Now in my 70’s I am meeting new friends from different parts of the country and learning from fellow GLOCK shooters and Range Officers on gun safety and practical shooting tips. I had one Range Officer suggest that I go and have my glasses checked. Ha Ha, Boy was he on target. Come on seniors; join me for fellowship, friendship, GLOCK shooting tips, and just a good time. Thank you GLOCK for thinking of us seniors in designing the GLOCK

Sport Shooting Foundation. See you at the next meet, seniors.

Family Tradition Shooting at GSSF indoor and the San Antonio Ballistic Challenge is a father and son tradition for me and my son. He turned me on to GLOCKSs many years ago after being a dyed in the wool “1911” shooter until I shot his GLOCK (I did not want anything to do with a gun that was not made of steel). After that, I had to have one and have been shooting GLOCKs ever since; now owning several GLOCKs. The San Antonio Ballistic Challenge match has be-come a favored tradition for my son and me every Decem-ber. We have been shooting together for more years than I want to remember having starting him out at a very early age (I’m 70 and he is 50 so that’s a lot of years, bullets and great memories!). This year, another father and son team joined us for the opportunity to shoot in this great GLOCK match and have some father and son/male bonding as well! We also observed other father and son or daughter and husband and wife participants at the match. This and other GSSF matches, both indoors and out of doors, are a great way to do something together with your children and spouses. But back to the San Antonio match. Despite threat-ening rainy weather, the Saturday part of the match went off without a hitch and no rain. Everyone I had a chance to talk to was glad to be there and was having a great time. The on-site GSSF coordinators were friendly and helpful and the volunteer range officers were a great example of Texas friendliness and hospitality, always trying to help the participants to have a great experience. They are very much appreciated! In addition to the great match, the San Antonio venue offers the great opportunity to eat some of the best Mexican Food in the world. Our favorite is Mi Tierra in the Macado (Market Area) of San Antonio. We always go there after completing the days match. The food and local atmo-sphere are great. You might even see “Mexican Elvis” who some say might have been at the match as well!!! Thanks to GLOCK and GSSF for making this kind of family experience possible! Keep up the good work. J ATexas


Are you interested in getting more involved with the shooting sports? Have you ever tried GLOCK Sport Shooting Foundation? If the answer is “no” then I want to invite you to come out to the GSSF matches and become a member this year. GSSF has thrived in the competitive realm of shooters. The matches are sweeping across the nation and coming to you, so you can too become an active shooter.

There are many benefits to becoming a member of GSSF to include the GLOCK Annual magazine, a GSSF hat, and access to the some forty matches across the country. Prizes awarded at the matches vary depending on attendance but you will see an average of 9 firearms and $2,800 in cash. GLOCK is giving back to the shooters and trying to expand and strengthen the population of shooters through GSSF. This established gun manufacturer had developed firearms that have reached perfection. Being a Team GLOCK member and an advocate for shooting my efforts are to grow the sport and shed a positive light on fire arms. I encourage you to come to the range, bring your GLOCK and strive to become more knowledgeable about shooting as a gun owner with the help of the GLOCK representatives at the range.

When practicing for a match, I recommend that you drill the fundamentals of marksmanship. Even high level shooters stay tuned with the basics because they are the foundation of a good shooter. When you go to shoot the match you will see a plate rack, some steel poppers and tombstone paper targets. Become familiar with where is a good place to aim on any given target, while keeping in mind the point of aim point of impact is of your particular GLOCK.

Whenever I go to the matches, I always bring my G34 in 9mm and shoot in the competition division. GSSF has numerous divisions that you can bring your favorite GLOCK to shoot in. They also have the best category recognition compared to other competitions, for those ladies and juniors reading.

I always like to approach this match with the mind set of shooting for zero points down while still testing my limits on speed and balancing accuracy. Always take the extra tenth or two tenths of a

second to be sure your sights are aligned properly before breaking a clean shot. This minor adjustment will ensure that you will have good hits down range and I know it will improve your shooting.

I challenge all readers to be a part of the efforts to grow the sport. Bring your friends and family out to the range to compete in a sport you all can be proud of together! GLOCK has created a very newcomer friendly atmosphere. The stages that GSSF has designed allow entry level shooters to be confident when shooting. They also keep higher level shooters challenged because while the goal is to shoot a perfect score of zero points down, the true test of a shooter’s skill level is to see who can shoot a perfect score in the fastest time.

Clear your calendar for weekends in the 2012 shooting season and I hope to see you on the range!
