MD: David Bayer dcbayer21@gmail.com

Start: 0900AM

Match Fees: $15

****** Important Notice******

In the interest of safety for all members, guests, and visitors, Belton Gun Club is implementing a temporary ban on all SIG Sauer P320-based pistols being brought onto or used on club property.

This decision has been made out of an abundance of caution following a series of recent incidents and un-commanded discharges involving the P320 platform. In light of these events, several government agencies and private facilities have also adopted similar temporary restrictions on the use of these firearms while further testing and evaluations are conducted.

Effective immediately, all P320-based pistols are prohibited at Belton Gun Club until further notice. This includes all variants and modified versions of the P320 platform.

Please note: This restriction applies only to the P320 and its variants. All other SIG Sauer pistols and rifles are unaffected by this ban and remain welcome on club property.

If you show up to the match with a Sig P320 or one of it's variants you will be asked to replace it or you will be withdrawn from the match.

Galactic Pistol Alliance (GPA) Match (29 Nov 2026)

Sun, 29 Nov 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Join us for our first GPA match.

https://galacticpistolalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/docs/gpa_rulebook.pdf

GPA has been in development and evolving since December of 2022. Since then, we have run literally hundreds of GPA matches and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Here are a few features that make GPA such a blast!

• No concealment garment required

• ½ second scoring

• Every stage may have up to 24 required shots. More shooting equals more fun!

• Ammo management is entirely the responsibility of the shooter.

• You can load your mags to capacity and carry as many as you want.

• Every stage requires one mandatory reload after the first shot and before the last. You decide when and where to do it.

• You dropped a magazine with rounds in it? It’s legal! No PE!

• Targets may be required to be shot while you are moving.

• There is no tactical priority for targets in the open.

• Any stage can have an unlimited number of steel targets as well as unlimited non-threats!

• With few exceptions, whatever equipment you are using in another pistol sport is probably legal in GPA.

• The rulebook is clear, concise, unambiguous and only 12 pages long!
