Once Again at the Highest Level 

From September 13 to 15, 2024, the GECO IPSC Masters (LEVEL III Handgun)—one of the most significant IPSC events in Germany—celebrated its 13th year at the Philippsburg shooting range. Around 450 professional and amateur shooters from across Europe came together to participate in this unique competition, which has long been supported by GECO and organized by the Heidelberger Practical Pistol Club e.V.

The event challenged participants with 15 demanding stages, each to be completed flawlessly in the shortest possible time. Precision, speed, and both tactical and mental skills were required at the highest level. Only those able to harmonize these elements had the chance to win trophies and one of the coveted golden President Medals.

A highlight for all participants was the nightly raffle, held each event day, featuring high-quality prizes from GECO, such as bullets, primers, and casings, which brought great excitement to the lucky winners. GECO also hosted an advisory and information booth, offering attendees insights into their products and services.

The international GECO team was also strongly represented: nine shooters from various European countries competed in the event and achieved excellent results. Here’s a summary of our team’s top accomplishments:

  • Production Optic Seniors: 3rd Place – Patrick Baculard (France)
