GLOCK: SHOT Show 2024

Another year, another SHOT show in the books. From Industry Day at the Range to the Show floor, we get one-on-one time with the ladies of Team GLOCK. Women’s Outdoor News and Avery Skipalis bring you an article where the ladies of Team GLOCK introduce some of their new products while highlighting key features.

Let’s be honest. No SHOT Show is complete without stopping by the GLOCK booth to check out our friends at GLOCK and hear about their new releases. While there, of course, I had to pick up some of their great swag! Who doesn’t love a new patch, pen, water bottle, ear protection, eye protection or notebook? Or is it just me? 

This year, I noticed a couple of new smiling faces in GLOCK gear that I’d never seen during previous visits. I’ve been in the presence of Team GLOCK during Industry Day at the Range and while on the show floor at previous SHOT Shows. I was also fortunate enough to be included in the most recent media trip, called “Behind the Barrel,” put on by GLOCK in Smyrna, Georgia. 

GLOCK at Range Day

This year, I had the honor of meeting Team GLOCK’s two newest members: Thy Ngo and Callerina “Cally” Woodard. I learned a few things about them during this time, including their backgrounds. Thy, known for her mastery of shooting techniques, and Cally, an exceptional competitor in the shooting sports arena, proved to hold a wealth of knowledge regarding shooting performance.

Once we were warmed up to each other, we laughed about how nervous we were to be on camera. From there, Thy introduced the G29 Gen5 in 10mm, and Cally introduced the G30 Gen5 in .45 Auto.

GLOCK SHOT Show 2024 Wrap Up

SHOT Show is always a great time to get a behind-the-scenes perspective directly from brands. This year, it was even better because I met Callerina and Thy, the newest members of Team GLOCK. I look forward to following both women this year. What would you like to hear more about from the ladies of Team GLOCK?
