Team GLOCK Wins Five Titles at USPSA GLOCK Area 6 Pistol Championship

SMYRNA, Georgia – -(AmmoLand.com)- In the first USPSA Area championship of the season, team captain Dave Sevigny led Team GLOCK to victory at Area 6 by winning the Production division and Area 6 championship. Jessie Abbate won the High Lady Limited division and Area 6 High Lady title, while Randi Rogers won the High Lady Limited-10 title. The tournament was held at the South River Gun Club in Covington, Georgia on April 17-19.
The Production division was hotly contested with twelve Master and Grandmaster level competitors vying for the title in the 56 competitor field. In another dominating performance with a GLOCK 34, Dave Sevigny won nine of the twelve courses of fire and finished more than 239 points ahead of the second place Grandmaster.
Stage 1, Field Of Steel, was considered the most complex course of fire in the tournament and Sevigny earned the #1 position not only in Production division, but over all other divisions. Sevigny ripped through 32 pieces of knock down steel located at distances of ten to thirty yards and covered six positions in only 27.93 seconds. “That went just as I’d planned thankfully. I did all I could to concentrate, be visual and to call each shot,” said Sevigny. The performance is significant because Production requires the competitor to reload the pistol frequently to complete a stage and fewer rounds are available per shooting position. The top Open and Limited division scores were 29.66 seconds and 31.07 seconds. Open and Limited pistols often feature competitive advantages over Production pistols and magazines may hold 2-3 times as many rounds.
Jessie Abbate competed with a GLOCK 24 against a field of ten ladies in the 125 person Limited division field. Abbate shot another consistent match to repeat her High Lady division and Area 6 titles. “I’m happy the USPSA season is underway and look forward to the road to the Nationals,” said Abbate.
Randi Rogers competed with a GLOCK 35 in the 18 person Limited-10 field. Two women, Rogers and Kay Miculek, fought for the Limited-10 title where Rogers emerged as the High Lady. “I was pleased with my shooting at Area 6. This was the first match I have competed in with my G35 and it was a success. The gun ran great the whole match and I was able to finish well in the standings,” said Rogers.
GLOCK Inc., one of the industry leaders in supporting the shooting sports, repeated as match sponsor for the tournament. Cindy Noyes, Area 6 Match Director states, “We have been fortunate to have GLOCK, Inc. as our match sponsor this year and last year. They have been very generous with their match donations. I am continually impressed with the professionalism of the members of Team GLOCK and of course with their shooting abilities. Dave always gives a great performance and I have watched Jessie and Randi come into their own over the last couple of years. We wish to see the team again and for GLOCK, Inc. to return next year as our match sponsor.”
In other notable finishes Todd Kennedy of Georgia won the Limited-10 division using a GLOCK 35 and Mike Hughes of Washington was second in Production using a GLOCK 17.

I always get a kick out of people who say he is the first black President. What they should really say is he is the first half white President. Not sure why his white side is always downplayed. He is a smart guy, but the bottom line is he stands for nothing and has no guiding principles. All he cares about is getting re elected, that’s all. And if he has to contradict himself, lie, spin, cheat, steal, bully, praise, domineer, back off…whatever…he will do it. He’s tenacious that way, but stands for nothing.
There’s one other thing I’ve been screaming out since this LIAR stood at the podium and LIED to the nation (as he has so many times before). “I HAVE THE FLAG THE NAVY SEALS TOOK ON THEIR OPERATION TO KILL BIN LADEN” So (starting with the lesser here), no attempt to capture and put him on trial? Weren’t the democraps whining this was a “law enforcement matter” years back? So “law enforcement” now is about “doing hits” on known criminals? How very “Chicago” of you Mr. President. Well, doesn’t take a genious to look around and see the “government jackbooted hit squad” has been policy for quite some time. Lastly, I spent 6-years with Special Operations (Army) plus 6 reserve working with and training SOF units so I know what I’m saying here… NO SPECIAL OPERATIONS UNIT, INCLUDING NSWG/DEVGRU (aka Navy SEALS) CARRIES A FLAG INTO BATTLE!!! THAT SH!T WENT OUT AFTER THE CIVIL WAR AND THE ONLY COMBAT UNITS HOISTING A FLAG IN THIS DAY DO SO WHEN ESTABLISHING A FOB (forward operating base) OR OCCUPYING A TERRITORY… NO SEAL TEAM CARRIES A FLAG WITH THEM ON A COVERT MISSION!!! Lemme stress this again… a flag takes up more space than 2 IFAK’s (individual first aid kits, includes bandages, tourniquets and life-saving blood-clotting items… saved many a lives!)… why would a 2-chalk 24-man SEAL team waste space carrying some imaginary flag on a hostage rescue mission? Space and weight is golden… every inch of space and pound of weight saved is room for more ammo (at least in the Ranger and SOF units I served with) so I can’t imagine why what is arguably the most professional unit in the armed services would waste space carrying a flag on a “S&D” (seek & destroy) or strike mission. What did they do, raise this flag above the compound, take a picture then take it down, repack and get out of the AO? REALLY? The NSWG/DEVGRU group known as SEAL Team-6 would NOT waste space and weight carrying some flag on a mission like that. I believe, based on my 12+ years working with warriors like these that this is yet ANOTHER LIE THE LIAR IN CHIEF HAS SPEWED!
