IPSC Background
Gregory started shooting air rifle at the age of 12 and .22 precision rifle at 16. He was right from the beginning very successful and qualified for the German Championship. With 18 he stopped shooting and concentrated on Thai Boxing. Thai Boxing as one of the toughest Fighting Sports became his main sport until he turned 28. 1998 a friend of Gregory took him to clay shooting (trap) and to IPSC shooting and he was fascinated with these shooting sports, and without hesitating he entered the local shooting club VPS Neu-Ulm and got member of the German shooting association (BDS).

His first handgun for IPSC was a Glock in .40 S&W. In 1999 he switched to the 1911 system, still in .40 S&W. In 2000 he moved to Switzerland due to work reasons and joined a local IPSC club. Since 2001 he has been a member of the Swiss National Team and always top ranked in Switzerland.

His success is based in a large part on the good training possibilities in Switzerland. He became Swiss Champion in Standard Division and Swiss Champion in 3-Gun. Since 2004 he shoots an Edge 2011 from STI International, Georgetown Texas and is a member of the STI European Team.

Gregory still lives in Switzerland but in 2005 he started shooting for Germany again. His first big match for Germany was the World Shoot in Ecuador at which he finished 12th.
