Let me know if anyone has shot this before. Sound like fun.
Fellow members of 17 South Rod and Gun Club,
The Glock Sport Shooting Foundation (GSSF) will be returning to 17 South Rod and Gun Club November 6th through 8th. This is a fun pistol competition that is open to everyone. All you will need to compete is a Glock Pistol, preferably 4 magazines, (although there are people who will gladly assist you in reloading if you don’t have 4), and 100 rounds of ammo for each division you decide to shoot.
Last year we were able to give away 49 pistols and over $8,000 in other prizes! This year we are hoping for the numbers to grow, and to give away even more prizes. Toby and Kyle even raffled off three (3) half price club membership renewals to members who volunteered.
If you have ever thought about dipping your toes in the water to try a pistol match, this is one of the best matches to start with. There are no holsters required, all shooting is stationary, and no tactical reloading is required. Whether you are an experienced shooter, or brand new to it, GSSF has a place for you. There are random prizes given away just for competing. If you do not own a Glock pistol, there are many folks at the club that will be happy to let you borrow theirs, myself included. So bring the whole family, bring your friends, because this event is open to the public.
There is even a division just for the ladies, so bring them along. There are additional special categories for High Lady, High Junior Male and Female, Seniors (55-64), Super Seniors (64+), and Handicapped.
Additional benefits to membership in GSSF include: one pistol coupon per year for a blue label priced Glock, eligibility to attend the Glock Armorers Courses, and GSSF is an affiliate Organization for the Civilian Marksmanship Program (which is part of the qualification needed for the purchase of surplus military firearms and ammunition.). Glock will even bring their armorers to the match and they will inspect, repair, and replaces broken parts in your Glock at no charge!
The Glock Marketing team will be on sight with a variety of Glock models to test fire. If you have ever been unsure which model you wanted, this is a great opportunity for a side by side test drive to make the best purchase for you. They will also have additional Glock merchandise available for sale.
We are also going to need help from club members to make this match run well. No experience is required as Glock will do training for the volunteers. We will need people to be Range Officers, Score Keepers, Perform Squading, direct traffic for parking, and additional tasks that require no experience with pistol matches. Volunteers will all receive a Glock Range Officer hat as well as a choice of rewards given by Glock for each day you work. These include Glock Magazines, GSSF Membership, Match Entry, range bags, field knives and more. There will also be raffles just for the volunteers for additional Glock Pistols and other prizes.
If you are looking for additional information for this event as a participant or want to find out about what you can do to help out or volunteer to be a Range Officer, email me, Andy Peters, at [email protected]. You can also just stop me and ask me about it if you see me at the club. I hope to see you there!
