Who is this Glock Pistol Match for:
GLOCK Pistol Match events are for experienced shooters of all ages, from Seniors to Juniors at every skill level who are interested in fun GLOCK competitions. You can compete with people of your skill level due to the classification system with standardized classifier stages that will grade you based on speed and accuracy. CSA RSOs are available to help you with the details to get you started.

What is the event about/What will you learn:
Your division will be determined based on the GLOCK pistol you are using. Once you’re on the range, it’s all about the best combination of speed and accuracy under the direction and supervision of certified Range Safety Officers. RSOs are there to help and maintain the flawless safety record GLOCK Pistol Matches are known for.

SCORING & PRIZE ALLOCATION:

  • The Lewis Prize Allocation system is used to distribute awards as equitably as possible.
    • Each separate pistol used during the match will be a separate entry.
    • Your two best scores of each entry during the series will be totaled and averaged at the end of the 3-match series.
    • If a shooter competes in only two matches, his/her scores for each entry are totaled and divided by two.
    • If a shooter competes in all three matches, his/her best two scores for each entry are totaled and divided by 2.
    • The result is one final score for each entry, which is then listed in the overall order in which he/she finished.
    • The overall list is then divided into thirds, with the top one-third considered “A Class,” the second one-third is “B Class,” and the final one-third is “C Class.”
    • Plaques are awarded to the top competitor of each class.

The aspects of the class I benefited from the most were several key takeaways that will provide the tweaks I need to improve my accuracy and speed. I would like to take Home Defense Fundamentals but want to build my skills first.
