“Our team did very well here. Jessie won all the Lady categories she entered by a decisive margin. Randi has made improvements in the Open division and will only get better as she gains more experience with the Steel Challenge,” said Team GLOCK Captain Dave Sevigny.
In Open division at the Steel Challenge World Championship, Sevigny’s 4th place finish at 86.62 with an overall stage win on “Pendulum” is a personal best.
“I just need to keep working hard at this. The competition at the top level is very deep. I’m close but must improve by three to five seconds to win this in Open Centerfire.” It is noteworthy that the S&J Custom GLOCK 17 built for Sevigny has a 4 lb. trigger and costs about half as much as his competitor’s highly customized single action pistols in the top ten. “The pistol runs and is accurate. I just have to do my part,” added Sevigny.
Team GLOCK will next compete at the USPSA Area 8 Championship in Virginia from August 27-30.
