SOUTHPORT MASTERS

Zins/Moody Bullseye Pistol Clinic

     Southport Gun Club along with the Chicago Police Department Shooting Team sponsored a two-day Bullseye Pistol clinic on two occasions.  Leading the clinic were GySgt Brian Zins and GYSgt Andy Moody, both USMC (retired).  Zins is the 10-time National Pistol champion.  Moody, (former Chief Instructor for the USMC wrote the book on Marine Pistol) is also a competitive shooter and runs Sharpshooter Training in Virginia.

    Participants came from Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana for two days of classroom and range instruction.  After reviewing the fundamentals of competitive pistol shooting, the clinic moved into more advanced techniques and individual coaching during live-fire drills on the range.

     Officer Tara Poremba, fro the Chicago PD, coordinated the first event and Chris Johnson, a High Master shooter and active Southport Masters member, organized both events and served as Range Safety Officer.

     Competitive shooting is the reason Southport Gun Club, Inc. was founded in 1954.  Initially designed as a rimfire rifle range, Conventional Pistol was soon added as a main competitive sport.  Southport members take the indoor shooting sports seriously.  we regularly participate in Range Operations and Safety seminars and shooting sport clinics for ourselves and the community.  Many of our members are NRA certified firearms instructors who are willing to volunteer their time to help firearm owners be secure and confident in keeping their guns.
