The first punch was delivered at the GSSF Annual Shoot XVIII held September 23rd 25th in the Conyers/Covington area where we had a record 1023 entries. The second punch was delivered most recently at the Griffin Classic II held February 25th 26th with 876 entries, second largest in GSSF history! The third punch was delivered the weekend of July 16th 17th at the River Bend Ballistic Challenge IV in Dawsonville with a record 629 entries. Here are the incredible stories from these events starting with the most recent. GRIFFIN CLASSIC II The Griffin Gun Club, located in Griffin, Georgia held its second GSSF match on February 25-26 and set a record with 876 entries. This makes Griffin the second largest match held in GSSF history. What makes this unique is that this is only the second GSSF match held at the club. In 2011 their first GSSF match produced a record for a first match of 597 entries. The event this year attracted shooters from as far away as Missouri. The Friday before the match saw over three inches of rain which delayed setting up until late afternoon and also caused worry about muddy conditions in the bays, but thanks to sun and wind, the bays were in good shape on Saturday for the start of the match. The first day of the match proved to be a huge increase over last year. According to match 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 unfortunately caused longer than anticipated delays at some of the stages, but the shooters understood what was causing the delay. Thanks to The Oink Joint BBQ caterer who was on site to provide excellent food so that the shooters could fill up while they waited. The second day of the match went a lot quicker for everyone in that 278 shooters went through the stages and everyone was finished by 4 pm. The match has exceeded all expectations for the two years it has been held. The first year, GSSF and club representatives hoped to have 300 shooters and it would have been a great success, but, it drew almost 600. This year officials were expecting around 650 to 700 entries, based on other matches, but were again rewarded with a record 876 entries. The 2013 event should be another record setter for the club. Griffin Gun club is not new to pistol matches. They currently have a monthly steel match held the first Saturday of each month. They also hold the annual Georgia State

Jeff Cooinformation on this match go to www.griffinsteelmatch.com. per and his wife, Janelle. It consists of 16 opponents paired against each other. There are 3 bouts for each pair, with the Thanks to Leonard, Glen, and all of the ROs for their winner being the first person to take 2 bouts. At the end, when hard work. there are only 4 contestants left, the bouts become the best 3 out of 5. The losers of the first two pairings then shoot off GSSF ANNUAL SHOOT XVIII against each other for 3rd and a cash prize of $1000 and 4th What is believed to be the largest action shoot- place where the prize is a GLOCK pistol. The final two bating competition in history with 1,023 entries was tle it out for the Gunny Trophy and a cash prize of $3000, held September 23rd-25th, 2011, at the South River with the loser taking 2nd place and a $2000 cash prize. Not Gun Club near Conyers, GA (just outside of Atlanta). bad for a couple hours work doing something that you love! Competitors, both male and female, of all ages and abilities, competed over GSSF standard courses of fire with various GLOCK Model pistols, ably assisted by USPSA Georgia Section Range Officers (75+ volunteers) and GLOCK employees. The top shooter in the largest Division, Amateur Civilian, was Wei Young, a competitor from North Carolina. It is thought she may be the first female competitor to win a major action shooting competition, besting 400+ other individual competitors, male and female, and propelling her into GSSF Master status. Ms. Young had earlier in the year won the Ladies Only GSSF match near Charleston, SC, giving her a berth in the prestigious GLOCK Gunny Challenge, hosted by the Gunny himself, R. Lee Ermey, and as an added attraction, country music star Travis Tritt joined in on the fun. The Gunny Challenge is a shoot-off competition between the top GSSF MatchMeisters (the top scoring competitor in a standard stock division at a GSSF Match). The Shootoff competition pits two contestants against one another at the same time. Two identical sets of steel targets are presented to the contestants with the final piece of steel becoming a Stop plate. The Stop plates are typically two Pepper Poppers (like those used in the GLOCK M), set to cross each other when hit, so that one Pepper Popper falls on top of the other. The goal is to knock down your set of steel first, then hit the Stop plate so that yours is the one on the bottom when your opponent finally knocks all of his/hers down. If a contestant has a miss on a piece of steel and hits the Stop plate, it is a loss. Gun malfunctions or problems with targets are do overs.

Each year GSSF picks a different GLOCK pistol and caliber for the competition and the choice is kept secret until the day of the competition. This year contestants used brand new Gen4 GLOCK Model 35s in .40 caliber with Ameriglo fiber optic sights. Butch Barton, a retired LE officer from MN, was the winner, taking home $3,000.00 cash with his cool, precise, speedy shooting. Butch was actually a 3rd time winner of the Challenge, having won in 2008 and 2010. After the main event, Gunny Ermey and Travis Tritt competed head to head, the Gunny prevailing (as any US Marine should). RIVER BEND BALLISTIC CHALLENGE IV It was a hot weekend in July, with Mark Leeber, his RO crew, and GLOCK employees setting up the match in the mountain range near Dawsonville, GA. On Saturday, the line for walk-up registrations stretched out of sight and after the last shot, 629 entries had been fired. They had come from as far away as Idaho for this event.

RANGEMASTERS CORNER
Help Us Help YOU on the Range
Many times we hear of problems with a match after the match is over and we are back in the office. At that point, we cant do anything to help. Most matches have two GSSF representatives at the match and some even have more than that. If you notice a problem or a situation with one of our matches, please find one of the GSSF representatives there and discuss it with them. We will straighten out the problem or let you know why things are being done differently. As our matches increase in size, one of the things we hear most often is why is it taking so long? I thought I would be finished in an hour! For 95% of our events, Saturday is, by far, the busiest day and we recommend that you allow all day to shoot the match. If you can come out to the match on Sunday, it can be much less hectic. Weather conditions, range limitations, and the number of volunteers can impact us. Other factors in the time it takes to shoot the match are when you arrive at the range, and making sure you let the Range Officers know you are waiting to shoot by using the Sign In Squadding Sheets: If you dont get there until 11:00 am, you cant expect to be finished quickly. There will be many people that have signed in ahead of you. If you are there at 9:00 am, you stand a better chance of getting out faster as long as you follow the sign in procedure: We ask that as soon as you finish with match registration, you go out and sign in at each station where you will be shooting. This holds your place in line for when you return to that station to shoot your entry. The proper procedure is to fill in the Sign In Squadding Sheet with the requested information (name, arrival time, divisions, etc), leaving the Squad column blank until you have visited each station you will be shooting, go to the one you want to start on, put an X in the Squad column by your information and wait for the Range Officers to call your name, give you a score sheet and place you in line to shoot. Then you repeat this procedure until you have finished all your entries. You can shoot two entries back to back, and then you have to allow another member to shoot up to two entries, and then you may shoot two more entries, in other words, you do not have to go to the next squad of entries to shoot your next two entries. Our only requirement is that you allow another shooter in after each two entries before continuing to shoot additional entries.

GSSF Outdoor Match of the Year

Table Rock Challenge Morganton, North Carolina

GSSF has recognized the Indoor Match Of The Year for the last 3 years. Beginning with the 2011 GSSF Match Season we at GSSF decided to recognize an Outdoor Match as The Match Of The Year. Some discussion began on GLOCK Talk early in the 2011 season. From that budding idea, the decision was made to formally recognize an outdoor match for characteristics which may set it apart as the Match Of The Year. After much discussion and input from GSSF Members, the Table Rock Challenge held in Morganton, North Carolina was chosen for this honor.

The idea for the Table Rock Challenge began in 2008 with discussions between Director of Training and GSSF, Alan Ramsey and Lt. Alex Cobb of the Burke County Narcotics Task Force. Lt. Cobb discussed the idea with then Sheriff John McDevitt and Major Banks Hinceman. Both Sheriff McDevitt and Major Hinceman gave thumbs up to the idea. Major Hinceman suggested the name Table Rock Challenge for the event and commissioned Lt. Cobb to coordinate plans for it. Lt. Cobb began discussions with a cadre of firearms instructors from the Burke County Sheriffs Office, The North Carolina Dept. of Corrections, North Carolina Highway Patrol and other officers and civilians to develop a range staff to plan and carry out the match. Besides those already mentioned, others involved in the initial stages were Mark Bradley, Coleman Earwood, Rick Hasson, Ken Franklin, Kent Southard, David Kiser, Daniel Cobb, Donnie Dellinger, Chris Marsh and others. The great enthusiasm and talents of the initial staff set things in motion and the first match was held in April of 2008 with an amazing 238 participants. The range staff has grown over the years and since the staff is not an organized club, two or three planning meetings are held in the months prior to each match to ensure the match comes off as an orchestrated event. The 2011 match had 526 registered participants and the goal is to exceed 600 at the 2012 match. The economic impact on local business is certainly a plus with the large number of visitors to the match patronizing local hotels and restaurants. Table Rock Challenge V planning is well under way with the enthusiastic support of Sheriff Steve E. Whisenant and other local leaders. Everyone is invited to come join the fun.

Remember to visit our website, www.gssfonline.com! 20.00 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS 20.05

20.40

The fundamental mission of GSSF is to introduce new shooters into the world of competitive shooting. The rules and procedures necessary for everyone to safely and enjoyably attend a competitive shooting 20.50 event may be somewhat different from what you are used to at your local shooting range, local shooting club, or the back pasture back home where you plink tin cans. We therefore must insist that you follow the 20.60 safety and match rules and procedures detailed here and not those that you may be used to elsewhere. As a firearms owner and user, you must take 20.70 responsibility for the safe handling and storage of your firearms. WE DO NOT ALLOW MEMBERS WHO DO NOT FOLLOW PROPER SAFETY PROCEDURES TO COMPETE IN GSSF MATCHES. Anyone not following safety rules will be required to leave the range. GSSF stresses the following basic rules of firearm safety. 20.80

Competitors who are not able to safely handle and fire a GLOCK firearm will not be allowed to compete in GSSF matches. If a competitor is unable to compete safely, as determined by the Range Officers and Range Master, the competitor will be refunded their entry fees at the match. Eye and Ear Protection. Everyone must wear eye and ear protection at GSSF matches (glasses and ear plugs/muffs). Drugs and Alcohol. At no time will anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol be allowed to participate in a GSSF match. Safety Zones Unloaded firearms may be handled in designated safety zones. ABSOLUTELY NO AMMUNITION IS TO BE HANDLED IN SAFETY ZONES. You may handle ammunition and load your magazines elsewhere on the range, but NOT in designated safety zones. Unsportsmanlike Conduct. It is GSSFs mission to ensure all have a safe and fun time at GSSF matches. At no time will the GSSF staff, Range Officers and Range aster olerate ross, nsportsmanlike onduct M t g u c by anyone attending GSSF matches. Anyone acting in such a manner will be required to leave the range. Negligent Discharge. A negligent discharge is unsafe and will result in disqualification. 30.00 ADVICE FOR BEGINNERS

20.10

20.20 1. 2. 3.

Safety Rules Handle all firearms as if they were loaded. Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. Keep your finger out of the firearms trigger guard and off the trigger until you have aligned the firearms sights on a safe target and you have made the decision to fire. 4. Always be certain that your target and the surrounding area are safe before firing. 5. Whenever you handle a firearm, the first thing you should do (while keeping it pointed in a safe direction with your finger outside the trigger guard) is to determine whether or not the firearm is loaded. If the firearm is a semi-automatic pistol first check to see that no magazine is inserted in the magazine well. Secondly, open the action and check that no round is loaded in the firing chamber. 6. Thoroughly read the instruction manual supplied with your firearm. 7. Before firing your firearm, you should routinely make sure your firearm is in good working order and the barrel is clear of dirt and obstructions. 8. Use only ammunition recommended by the firearm manufacturer, and always be certain the ammunition matches the caliber of your firearm. 9. Always wear quality ear and eye protection when shooting or observing shooting. 10. Never use firearms while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. 11. Store all firearms unloaded and secured in a safe storage case, inaccessible to children and untrained adults. 12. Federal, state and local laws regulate the transportation of firearms. Always transport your firearms in a safe, unloaded condition and in accordance with applicable laws.

20.90

30.10 If you are a new shooter it is best to seek the advice and instruction of a professional firearms instructor in your area. The type of class or classes you attend depends upon your intended use of your firearm. 30.20 Once you have learned the basics of safely handling and firing your firearm you can improve your firearm skills before shooting any match by setting goals for yourself and practicing. Practice dry firing (manipulating the firearm with no ammunition) to help you achieve this goal. 30.30 Only perform dry firing with an unloaded firearm. You should not have any magazines with ammunition in the same room with you. Stand in a position that will support a steady hold. Grip the firearm firmly with both hands. Point the empty firearm in a safe direction with the sights in correct alignment with your target. Focus your dominant eye on the front sight and keep the front sight in line with the rear sight notch and target. Press the trigger until the striker falls, always keeping the sights aligned with the target. Your goal is to be able to drop the striker while your sights remain unwaveringly fixed upon your aiming point. Draw back the slide slightly, just enough to reset the trigger mechanism and resume your normal shooting grip. Repeat as necessary until the sights remain on target every time you pull the trigger and drop the striker.

20.30 Please remember your firearm is your responsibility. Failure to follow safety rules will result in disqualification and removal from the range. 30.40 When you feel confident, practice live firing at a

shooting range. Use the techniques you practiced dry firing. Remember that stages of fire and targets may change, but the techniques for shooting both accurately and quickly are always the same. 30.50 A new shooter should concentrate on accuracy more than speed. Shoot at your own speed to the best of your ability and have fun! 40.0 THE STOCK GLOCK AND MODIFICATIONS 40.10 Stock GLOCK Philosophy. It is our intention to keep Amateur-Stock and Master-Stock divisions on a level playing field by ensuring the use of stock GLOCK firearms in all divisions except for the Unlimited division. We want to avoid an equipment race in our sport and will not allow firearm modifications that provide an artificial and mechanical competitive advantage. The goal is to test individual skill where everyone is using comparable equipment. Stock GLOCK Definition. For the Amateur-Civilian, Amateur-Guardian, Amateur or Master-Subcompact, Amateur or Master-Heavy Metal, Amateur or MasterCompetition, Amateur or Master-MajorSubcompact and Amateur and Master-Master Stock divisions:

Aftermarket barrels. Aftermarket recoil spring guide/recoil reducer assemblies. Aftermarket extended slide stop levers. Firing pins (modified/aftermarket). Connectors (modified/aftermarket). Metallic magazine well funnels or slugs. Lights or other barrel weights including GLOCKproduced light/laser units. Aftermarket metallic replacement frames. Any modification deemed by the Range Master to create an unfair competitive advantage Non-factory stippling. (Stippling that is burned or cut into the polymer frame) All firearms are subject to inspection at the matches for appropriate classification. Random inspections may occur at GSSF matches. In the event a GLOCK pistol is deemed illegal for a Stock division, if possible the competitors entry will be moved to the Amateur and Master Unlimited division. Refunds will not be given to those who fail inspection. Illegal parts in the Unlimited Division: Carbine Conversion units (no shoulder stocks) Aftermarket metallic replacement frames. Any conversion kit that does not fire a round for which GLOCK manufactures a firearm (see section 50.)

Be aware that many brands of imported ammunition are not manufactured to SAAMI specifications. The quality of such ammunition can vary widely. 50.30 Be aware that you almost certainly will not be able to purchase ammunition at GSSF matches. Please ensure that you obtain sufficient ammunition prior to attending the match and transport it in accordance with the laws of the states in which you are traveling. 50.35 Be aware that in the State of New Jersey those who do not hold the appropriate license from the State of New Jersey cannot legally purchase nor even legally borrow nor loan ammunition to another person. Such licenses are effectively only available to residents of New Jersey. Therefore any non-residents of New Jersey who attend a GSSF match held in New Jersey will NOT be able to legally purchase ammunition while in New Jersey. Nor will they be able to legally borrow from or loan ammunition to others attending the match. The only way to legally exchange am- munition will be if an appropriately licensed New Jersey resident provides the ammunition to another appropriately licensed New Jersey resident. If you do not hold the appropriate license it will behoove you to bring sufficient ammunition to shoot your entire chosen match Divisions and not run short. You will not be able to look to others to legally obtain such ammunition if you do run short, nor will you be able to provide ammunition to others who may run short.

loaded firearms. Except when actually on the firing line and under the direct supervision of a Range Officer or while being transported in a suitable container, all firearms must be unloaded with the magazine out and the chamber empty. While carrying in a holster, the magazine must be out, the chamber must be empty and the slide must be locked to the rear. As a basic safety precaution we require that all GSSF competitors refrain from handling their firearms any more than is absolutely necessary to compete in the match. Firearms can only be handled when: You are under Range Officer supervision (usually, on the firing line itself while no one is downrange of you). You are dealing with the GLOCK Armorer. You are in a designated Safety Zone. Handling ammunition is not allowed in safety zones. If you handle your firearm at any other time or anywhere other than a designated safety area, you risk being disqualified from any further participation in the match due to unsafe gun handling practices. Acceptable means to transport your firearm: Unloaded, with the slide locked to the rear in a holster that safely retains your GLOCK pistol Unloaded in a closed GLOCK box Unloaded in a shooting bag, box, briefcase, backpack, or similar container. At GSSF matches it is never appropriate to carry a firearm from one place to another in your hand. It must be in one of the acceptable means of transport listed above.

You will receive three labels for each individual match entry. One label for each of the Five to GLOCK, GLOCK the Plates, and GLOCK M match stages that you must complete to make up a complete match entry. If you have multiple entries, make sure that you place a single label from each of your entries on each of the appropriate scoresheets. If you inadvertently place two labels from the same entry on two of the same stage scoresheets we may not be able to tell which scoresheet actually reflects which entry. If you find that you have done this either seek out the Range Officers from that stage and make appropriate written clarifications on the scoresheets or if necessary seek out the Range Master immediately so that we may sort the matter out and avoid problems later when the scores are processed. Multiple stage setups are often erected to better accommodate large numbers of competitors. You will not necessarily shoot each available stage setup. You must successfully complete all three match stages, Five to GLOCK, GLOCK the Plates, and GLOCK M in order to have completed a match entry. We have encountered new competitors who shoot one stage twice, one stage once, and the third stage not at all or some similar incomplete combination simply because they did not read and understand the basics of GSSF competition. They shot stage setups in the sequence in which they

encountered them as they walked into the range complex. We have no choice but to 99.99 or DNF such entries with no refund if the error is not caught and corrected before the end of the match.

1. To establish your first come, first served priority for the day, immediately after you have completed the registration process and have received your scoresheet labels you must sign in at each of the three match stage locations of your choice. At some matches, there will be one sign-in area for each GLOCK M, Five to GLOCK and GLOCK the Plates stage setup. Other matches may have a sign-in area at each individual shooting pit containing multiple stage setups. Each match will vary due to the shooting pit lay-out. If you have any questions, feel free to ask Range Officers or the Range Master. Be advised, there may be several duplicate set-ups for each stage of fire. If there is more than one stage set up, be sure to return to the same stage location to shoot that stage. A competitor may choose to sign up for one stage at several stage locations. After completing the stage of fire, the competitor should inform the other stage locations to remove his or her name from the sign-in sheet. Multiple entries by an individual should be signed in one after another. However, with one exception only two entries may be fired in succession. The Range Officer or competitors may arrange the squad scoresheets to comply with this rule AFTER they have been squadded.
page 13

The GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2012

If a competitor has three total entries and no one else in the squad objects, that competitor may shoot all three entries back to back to back. If anyone in the squad objects, the competitor will shoot his or her three entries in the normal shoot two, step off the line for another competitors entry (or two entries), return and shoot the third entry order. 2. Once a competitor has returned to shoot a stage where they previously signed in, the competitor should mark next to his or her name on the sign-in sheet so the Range Officers know he or she is there and awaiting his or her turn to shoot. If the competitor does not place a mark next to his or her name, the Range Officer will have no way to know he or she is present when it is time to squad competitors. DO NOT place a checkmark near your name if you plan to leave the sign-in area for an extended time period such as, leaving to shoot one or more of the other stages first. The checkmark indicates which competitors are present and waiting to be squadded. Competitors should assist the Range Officers in pasting targets and reseting steel until being squadded.

the case may be and return the scoresheet(s) to the Range Officer to be placed in the squad shooting order. At no time is anyone to be provided with a scoresheet unless and until squadded by the Range Officer. Labeled scoresheets are not to be left in the possession of the competitors. The labeled scoresheets will be kept and administered by the Range Officers to enable them to control the proper shooting order. 5. At many matches, a device called a Christmas Tree consisting of cardboard, binder clamps, and usually, target stands may be used to hold the squad scoresheets in the shooting order for all to see. 6. After being squadded, the Range Officer will cross the competitors name off the sign-up list, preferably with a hi-lighter. 7. After completing the stage of fire, be sure you stay with the Range Officer and scorekeeper as the targets are being scored and recorded on your scoresheet. (See 130.85) 8. You are not required to stay with a squad after you complete a stage of fire. However please help the Range Officers paste and reset steel when waiting to complete your entries. (See 120.40)

If steel fails to fall after a defined hit, the target may be re-shot by the range staff to test calibration.

Should a competitor win his or her third such GLOCK pistol within a match wherein he or she also would have won another firearm or other awards in another Division or Subdivision, GSSF will award 170.80 the appropriate awards at its own discretion. 170.50 Definition of Master The competitor is a professional shooter. The competitor has won three (3) GLOCK firearms as high overall in any division at previous GSSF matches. The competitor has finished in the top 25 percentile of a non- GSSF major shooting competition (Statelevel championship or above. At least three Master or above shooters must have shot the same competition against whom the GSSF members relative performance can be compared). The competitor is classified Master or above in NRA, PPC, ICORE, IPSC/USPSA, Cowboy Action or similar shooting disciplines. Master ranking in IDPA shall no longer count towards Master status in GSSF. The competitor is a member of an armed forces pistol shooting team. The competitor is a member of a (non-GSSF) law enforcement organization-sponsored pistol shooting team. Some shooting disciplines do not have a formal Master or similar ranking system. GSSF reserves the authority to adjudge the relative Amateur versus Master skill level of any shooter in question and classify them accordingly. Guardian competitors should be aware that this rule is a relic of an obsolete GSSF Award distribution system whereby it was often to a Guardians advantage to shoot in the Civilian category instead. This is no longer the case and in most instances it is now to the advantage of an eligible Guardian competitor to remain in Guardian. Definition of Guardian Generally speaking, those who are in a hazardous public service position, their equivalents in private industry, or eligible retirees thereof. The competitor is a full-time law enforcement officer of a duly constituted agency of a municipal, county, state or federal government, or is a full-time firearms instructor in a law enforcement agency or police academy. The competitor must provide official, current identification from their agency if he or she is a full-time civilian firearm instructor. The competitor is an officer of a reserve or auxiliary unit of a law enforcement agency named above. The appointing authority must authorize the competitor to carry arms while on duty and authorizes the competitor to perform the same law enforcement functions and duties as full-time officers of the agency. (Unarmed auxiliary members of law enforcement agencies are not included.) The competitor is a member of any of the United States Armed Services (Army, National Guard, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard) serving active duty or in the reserves. The competitor is a full-time salaried railroad police officer, penal institution guard, industrial police officer, bank guard or armored/express company guard who is armed while on duty. The competitor is a full-time or volunteer firefighter or paramedic. The competitor is retired from any of the above positions and receiving benefits from the organization.

For the purposes of this section, New Member shall include any GSSF member who joined GSSF within one year prior to the match date, but who has NOT attended any previous outdoor GSSF match during that prior year. 190.120 Master Class Firearms Award Distribution. In order to share the wealth of firearms awards among our Master class competitors, any one individual Master-class competitor may win one (1), but only one, Performance firearm award per GSSF match. This paragraph shall not be construed as meaning that any one Master, through some combination of first, second, or other place finishes, may be awarded more than one Performance firearm award per match. If the Master-rated competitor is the top finisher in more than one division, he or she will receive the firearm awarded in one of the divisions (at GSSFs sole option) and the next available cash award if any in the other division(s). Generally, the priority order of such firearms awards will be MatchMeister, then MasterStock, then Unlimited, then equally Competition or Subcompact or Heavy Metal or MajorSub (Upgraded awards). Random firearms awards are not subject to this rule. 190.130 Bond Awards to Junior Competitors. Due to federal law, firearms may not be awarded to competitors who will not reach their 21st birthday within the GLOCK Professional then-current fiscal year.

border in particular. In such instances GSSF will award the above-described savings bonds in lieu of firearms awards. If and when such obstructions are lifted and/or the situation changes so that firearms are once again deliverable, deliveries to eligible GSSF winners residing in those states will resume. For those recipients who are US residents the issuance of any Bond award requires that GSSF obtain the Social Security number of the Bond recipient. 190.150 Firearm Awards to California Residents. Residents of California may only receive GLOCK firearms that have been approved by the state. As of November, 2005 California has approved all models of GLOCK firearms that GSSF makes available as firearm awards including the G37, G38 and G39. Such approval is subject to periodic renewal. If such approval has expired at the time any such awards are to be issued, GSSF, at its sole option, may issue the above-described Bond awards in lieu of the normal Firearms Certificate. The State of California has not approved Gen 4 GLOCK models. GLOCK Firearms awarded to California Residents will be limited to available pre-Gen 4 GLOCK models. For the latest information concerning such certifications we suggest you consult the California state internet website at www.caag.state.ca.us. California residents should also be aware that Federally Licensed dealers within California must also be licensed as a California Firearms Dealer. When submitting an award certificate for redemption in accordance with Section 190.160 below, the Dealer must include both a copy of his Federal Firearms License as well as a copy of his letter from the California Department of Justice acknowledging his status as a California Firearms Dealer.

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 3s or 6s 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. 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.

THE FAMILY THAT SHOOTS TOGETHER

Of the many accomplishments that the GLOCK Sport Shooting Foundation (GSSF) has had over the years, the fact that we have provided a family 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 Salado match outside 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 discovered 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 grateful for their support and friendship over the years. See you on a range somewhere!

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 couldnt 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 division. 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 Challenge 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, Tennessee; 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
page 54

and temperatures in the 70s! The match was well run by coordinator 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: Richmond, 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 possible.

Volume 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 meeting 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, departments 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 departments 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 sidearm. So we picked up our new GLOCK 23s and ammo, and we were ready for a week of GLOCK Transition of classroom 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 magazines. 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 switching 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 helping 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. FT Tennessee

Nice Shot!

A week after shooting my 2nd GSSF match in Minnesota in July, I combined two of my passions -- photography 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-megapixel 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 beneath 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. MW Minnesota

myself. Either because my friends are not interested in the shooting sport or due to schedule conflicts, but when reuniting 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! GA California

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!!! RB Florida

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 amendment. 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 kidnapping/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 second 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 amendment. As a teacher who was willing to fight and put my job on the line to support my students who were from pro-second 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 importance 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 Ease of Maintenance

I thought Id 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 cleaning 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 different 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 assembly. 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 dont 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 dont have a need to shop around for alternatives. I found the perfect match with my GLOCK. KK Massachusetts

Left-Handed Perfection

I just received my first Gen 4 G26 and wanted to write in on a leftys 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 using 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 excited to be getting a GLOCK with a left-handed magazine release not to mention the 3 options to pick from for grip size. My G26 arrived and I couldnt 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 4s in my collection soon! JH Georgia

First Match Experience

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 participating 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

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 didnt 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 cant. 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 pressure is the pressure you would place on yourself. I told myself 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 couldnt 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 mentions that and I didnt 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 wouldnt 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 writThe GLOCK Report / Volume I, 2012

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. TN Texas

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 looking in to purchasing a GLOCK. Love those GLOCKs!! JJ Macon, 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 werent a significant part of their lives so they didnt 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 aggressive 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 defending 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.

Improvement With a GLOCK

Thirty years ago, I went shooting with my brother-inlaw and shot a 30-06. I didnt 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 recently, my sonin-law took me shooting, I only went because he and my daughter had so much fun shooting. 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 Ive put 800 rounds through my G19 and cant get enough! Ive 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 another 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. Im 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. JK Ohio

Since I was a child I had always wanted a .45. I knew when I grew up that I would absolutely get one, specifically a Colt M1911 its 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 challenges. 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 disappointed. 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 handling, 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. DM Arizona

Lifetime Member

New to the Indoor League

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 dont 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. GK Georgia

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 scheduled 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 appeared 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 Canton 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.

Family Tradition

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 Lexington, Jacksonville, Pensacola, Anniston, Conyers, Columbis, Canton, Griffin, Anderson, Columbia, Creedmoor, 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 Caesers Palace where the awards were given and we had the honor of shaking hands with Mr. Glock, the inventor of the worlds 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. MK North Carolina

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 become a favored tradition for my son and me every December. We have been shooting together for more years than I want to remember having starting him out at a very early age (Im 70 and he is 50 so thats 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 threatening 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 atmosphere 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. JA Texas

Senior Shooter

Boywhat 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 70s 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

Juniors
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 shooters 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! Tori Nonaka
