LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Hundreds of handgun shooters came to test their skill at first ever competition for Lima area. The GLOCK Sport Shooting Foundation is a group of GLOCK shooters & enthusiasts ranging in all levels of experience from new shooters to experienced shooters. This weekend the Lima Sabres Shooting Association hosted one of their 55 regional matches GSSF holds. Shooters from at least seven states came to compete this weekend in different shooting challenges.
“GSSF (GLOCK Sport Shooting Foundation) was founded more for newer shooters, introducing people into the shooting sports,” says Steven Pariseau of the GSSF. “Rather than other disciplines where everything is regimented, we are very focused on new shooters. But competitive enough for the master shooters to be competitive and still win.”
“We have so many talented people out here,” says Steve Teutsch of the Lima Sabres Club. “We want to show the public the good side of shooting. This is competitive sports these people are athletes.”
The pistol matches run through Sunday. The GSSF has already committed to coming back to the Lima Sabres Club to host another match in August 2023.
