GSSF devised all-steel target versions of its three standard match stages and invited its growing collection of Matchmeisters to shoot for the Gunny Challenge Champion title as well as cash prizes.

The first Gunny Challenge was won by Mr. Bobby Carver who has since become well known for his “Carver Mounts” devices to add optical sights to handguns.

For 2007, it was decided to move the Gunny Chal- lenge closer to GLOCK’s US home in Smyrna, Georgia and reinstitute the original all-steel target match format introduced two years prior.

Since the Gunny’s support of the US Military is well known, it was decided to hold the Gunny Challenge in conjunction with the annual GSSF match, then held at the US Army Ft.

Lee “Gunny” Ermey’s annual ap- pearance added additional spice to the festivities, as did the Gunny Challenge named in his honor.

Butch Barton defended his title, reclaimed in 2010, securing his position as the “winningest” Gunny Challenger to date. This was his fourth win. Butch once again received $3,000 for his first place finish. He was followed by Justin Shurley, who took home $2,000. Third place went to Jay Shebuski who was awarded $1,000. Coming in fourth, David Knight took home a new GLOCK.

The format was changed to an exciting Match- meister versus Matchmeister elimination com- petition. Two Matchmeisters had to hit 7 individ- ual steel targets and then a designated “stop” target before their opponent. Each Matchmeis- ter had to shoot both sides of the setup using a GLOCK-supplied firearm in turn to win. The shooter who achieved the best score in 2 out of 3 setups would advance. For semi-final and final bouts this was increased to the best 3 out of 5.

The raffle raised $500 on site, which was later matched by GLOCK Professional, Inc. for a $1000 total contribution. Proceeds were donated to the Fisher House Foundation, Inc. The donations were made in the names of R. Lee “Gunny” Ermey and raffle winner Cale Barton.

The Fisher House Foundation, Inc. provides supportive, comfortable lodging near military and VA medical facilities. These lodgings allow military families to be near their loved ones during injuries or illness. For more information on this organization, visit www.fisherhouse.org

The staff of GSSF and GLOCK Professional, Inc. would like to thank Gunny and Cale for selecting Fisher House Foundation, Inc. as the recipient of the proceeds. We would also like to congratulate Cale in his victory over Gunny, who graciously accepted defeat. The real winner was the Fisher House Foundation.

I just wanted to say thank you to GLOCK and to all the volunteers who made my first GSSF experi- ence such a thrill. My son and I attended the 5th Table Rock Challenge in Morganton, NC on April 21. It was my first competitive shooting event of any kind. I shot in the Civilian division with my G19, in the Sub-Compact division with my G26, and Heavy Metal with my G21. Despite threats of rain, turnout was great. Everyone was very friendly and the volunteers and vendors simply could not Thanks have been nicer.

In the picture is my father-in-law. He died this March 19th. This picture is of him shooting at this past GLOCK match in Topton, Pa, the last one he will ever compete at. All his life he shot, from little on up, he was an avid IPSC shooter and was in the master class. He was a member of USPSA and would travel the country going to different matches. All this stopped in the early 2000’s when he was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer and was un- able to breathe or run to get around the courses of fire. The annual GLOCK match in Topton, PA kept him able to shoot. The match was a godsend, he had participated in it from its start at Topton and even RO’d many of the matches, and the fact that the match is stationary kept him able to shoot it. He had recently started his grandson down the path of competitive shoot- ing, where my son claimed best junior male shooter in the Keystone State Ballistics Challenge the past two years running. His death has taken a large toll on the entire family especially my son who he was closest to. A. A.

So, this past winter, my husband decided I should take up shooting. I’m not sure how he did it, but somehow he convinced me to go with him to the shoot- ing range. He hung up a few targets and let me get a feel for the empty gun as he gave me a few point- ers. Then, he loaded up his GLOCK 19, with a .22 con- version kit on it, and told me to give it a try. As I shot my first couple rounds, I thought “Huh...that was kind of fun”! A little bit empowering, even. I’m also afraid he caught me cracking a grin! How embar- rassing! A few months later, he said that I should shoot in the Dayton, OH GSSF match. Personally, I thought he was nuts because I had only been shooting for a few
