Title: GSSF Nebraska Match
Post by: Chris Z on May 15, 2009, 06:09:09 AM: If you are interested in shooting at the GSSF match (Glock Sport Shooting Foundation) match in Grand Island on June 13th or 14th, please get your registration form filled out ASAP and get it in to GSSF. Registrations really need to get in by the end of May.

www.gssfonline.com

The Heartland Shooting park in Grand Island went to the trouble of getting Glock to bring a match here to Nebraska, so we really want to show Glock that we support them coming here. Many of you have already heard my story, but if you haven't.... I approached GSSF several years back to bring a match to Nebraska and was basically told to forget it because they didn't think we could draw the numbers. Lets prove them wrong!!! (The Lincoln Rock Your Glock matches were then born on the ride back from the Halsville MO match where GSSF shot me down. We decided we would start our own matches since they wouldn't bring one here).

The great thing about the real GSSF match is they give away several brand new pistols (yes Glocks), as well as many other prizes. (Not only for top finishers, but random prizes as well). Glock also has an armorer on hand at the match that will completely go through your pistols and magazines and replace anything that needs to be replaced for FREE. GSSF also has a category just for Law Enforcement/Military/Firefighters to compete against each other.

NOW to get some good practice in the week before the GSSF match, we will have a Rock Your Glock match at the Lincoln Izaak Walton the Saturday before Grand Island (June 6th). http://rockyourglock.tripod.com

Please help spread the word and make this a successful match! Pass this on to other shooters, and those of you in Law Enforcement, please spread the word at your Department!

Thanks!

I'll be there with my Baby Glock. If any NFOA members would like to meet up after the match in GI for an early supper, let me know.

I didn't come in last! Woohoo!!!!

I did place in the bottom 25% of all three classes I shot in though. (http://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/smiley_abused.gif)

I had a blast and would do it again.

Post by: Dan W on June 18, 2009, 10:45:03 PM: Well, since I had ATA trap the weekend before and after I had to make a judgement call and not attend. My son couldn't attend as his wife is ready to POP with a boy any day now. I hope we had a good enough showing to keep it coming back

Post by: Chris Z on June 18, 2009, 11:00:29 PM: Glock was very happy with the turn out for the first match. About 140 entries. Chris Edwards from Glock said they will be back next year..... And I assured him we will have over 200 entries next year.

More than 210 means 3 free random guns will be given away!!!!

I guess they mail it to me?
Title: Re: GSSF Nebraska Match
Post by: Chris Z on July 08, 2009, 03:38:12 PM: They will likely mail it to you..... Don't know for sure I haven't ever won one either.

Just be aware Glock doesn't always do things fast, so if you get it within a couple months be happy!

It came in the mail yesterday. This is the Glock knife that looks like a bayonet, not some chinese made folder with GLOCK stamped on the side.

It's pretty damn big, sharp too. The sheath is a bit tight though. I paid $110 for a $30 knife. ;) I've never won anything before.

Post by: Chris Z on July 10, 2009, 07:21:09 PM: Got mine the other day as well! They are nice. You have to pull the little clip back in the front of the sheath to release the knife easier.

I got the Desert tan one, which is cool since I already have the black one with the saw serrations
