Match Box

W positve comments on my “GSSF Match Box.” I
thought I’d send you this letter and a photo. There may
be others doing this, but I have not seen any like mine
during the past three years.
It provides a comfortable seat wherever I am, and
has room enough inside to carry ammo, magazines,
sunscreen, First Aid kit, snacks, towels, etc.

irst, let me say that I thoroughly enjoy shooting in
F GSSF competition. I have attended matches in
Indianapolis and Lexington, and found your staff and
the hosts to have the impeccable manners to go along
with their impeccable safety records. In addition to the
GLOCK matches, I also shoot in the IDPA using a stock
G19 with factory sights. I was able to place second in
the sharpshooter division in the Illinois state finals.
Much of that is due to the reliability and shootability of
your pistol.
I am looking forward to this summer, when I hope to
have the opportunity to participate in several GSSF
matches. With carriage bolts, I attached two lengths of PVC
pipe to the underside. These serve as water bottle car-
R. E. riers. I just freeze the bottles overnight before a match.
Illinois The box itself shades the bottles, keeping them from
melting too quickly. This provides ice water all day.
