Just curious about SA & competition.

[Jsimon78]

Does SA still sponsor competitions like Glock does? I’m seriously considering getting into competition and possibly starting something with the Marine Corps League.

Not sure anyone does any company exclusive matches like Glock does with GSSF .like them or not they have been marketing geniuses.

Sig tries with their Shoot Sig events but other than a few range industry days I know of none.

Perhaps there is some confusion over the semantics

There is ; Gun / Gun Related companies sponsoring a Team or particular Pro Shooter to compete in " regular " shooting competitions , while using their products , while wearing their logos, and talking up the products .

Lots of companies do / have done this . I know at one point " Team Springfield " was heavily promoted , unknown to me current status ?

Then there is Glock :

Glock created a whole League with multiple COF and divisions , a system of Regionals and championships , For the Grassroots OWNERS of their products . This is probably Unique .


As mentioned above SIGARMS has been doing " Promotional Range Day Events " . Where Sig owners and general public can test fire all the Sig Products , get face time with Sig brass and marketing people , get full availability of even hard to find Sig mags and accessories, at special prices , etc . But not a competition .

I might have clumped things together and tried remembering the finer details on things I saw a few years ago. I know Glock has GSSF, there’s NSSF, and I know the gun companies usually have teams set up to compete.

I do have say thank you for your input and it will help me out moving forward.

NSSF = Professional Association/ Lobbying group for mfg of guns & related products , a spinoff of the lobbying group for sporting goods generally.

GSSF = Glock Shooting Sports Federation .

A group started by Glock , for public membership, of Glock owners / fans . Sanctioning body for their Glock only matches .
