HSCA Members + Victors Take 1st & 2nd at ISSA Steel Match

At the Port Townsend, WA International Steel Shooting Association speed steel match at the Jefferson County Sportsmen's Association's range, High Standard Collector's Association members Mike Gallion and Greg Markel took first and second place overall for handguns. Both were shooting HS Victors in the Optic sight division. It's not often you see High Standard pistols in speed events, and in this case both were being shot by HSCA members too! It was a good day at the range!

I can do paperwork and get things ready at the site so you can set up and enjoy the display.

The High Standard Collectors' Association was founded in 1991 to promote friendship and communication among the those interested in the collection, research, preservation and use of High Standard firearms, memorabilia and accessories. We include the Fiala, Hartford Arms and Schall firearms as part of our group. They were the direct predecessors to High Standard.

HSCA publishes a critically acclaimed quarterly newsletter which includes articles and photographs of High Standards. Members are encouraged to participate by asking questions of the group on the forum. The forum is also used to review or make comments regarding High Standard products. Members may advertise to sell or buy High Standard items, or make comments related to High Standard products. We also publish pieces from historic High Standard literature. In order to share information we have copied previous newsletters to DVD. They are available for sale to members only.
