A Note from the President . . .
Looking forward to
seeing you at GunStock!
All of the instructors, the GCA staff, and I are looking forward to meeting
and spending time with you at GunStock. The time we spend together will
be rewarding in many ways; we’ll feel more connected, and you’ll form connections
with your fellow club members. Share fun and learning experiences and shoot
many styles and stages with different firearms, attend the numerous seminars and
events, share good food and drink with each other and ask probing questions of our
expert staff.
The GCA/AGI instructors and staff are there to answer your questions and help you take
your knowledge and enjoyment of the shooting sports to a new level. We only do this
every other year and, as a serious member, we would like to see you there!
VALUE!
Recently I was in Las Vegas for a security conference and while I was there, I went to a
range where you can shoot machine guns and other “exotic weapons”. It was nice, but
to shoot one of their “Packages”, which consisted of one magazine each through four
guns (only one of which was a machine gun) in about a half hour total, was $140!! Oh
yeah, you also got a t-shirt. In contrast, you will be at GunStock for THREE DAYS! We
have budgeted 500 rounds of Ammo (included in ticket price) for each attendee!
There will be more available for purchase if you wish to extend the experience. We will
have over ten different shooting stages and over two dozen exclusive presentations and
seminars that you can’t get anywhere else. Some meals and drinks are included, along
with the Awards Banquet for all Silver Members! Oh yeah, you also get the GunStock T-
shirt and other goodies. In addition, you will have time to network with members, hang
out with instructors and MORE!!! This is a Real Value. So, make it your summer vacation.
It’s only $297 for Silver and $597 for VIP status (inquire).
Charity
As we’ve mentioned before, our charity this year is the
Pathway Home Program which helps Veterans from the Iraq
and Afghanistan wars who are suffering from PTSD and Traumatic Brain
Injury from IEDs.
This non-profit, non-government funded program has already helped hundreds of
Veterans, but thousands more still need help. The GCA is contributing 10% of all ticket
sales from GunStock and ALL of the money generated by the raffles of firearms and
other prizes to the Pathway Home Program. We are also helping to create awareness
through various other promotions. Do yourself and our Vets a favor by being there. Have
fun and contribute to a good cause all at one time.
Limited Attendance
There is limited space available so we can spend more time with each member. We look
forward to seeing you and we guarantee that you will have a great time!!!
See you at
