Its almost that time of year again for the outdoor games. We will be shooting silhouette this year but we are going to change it up a little. We will start with smallbore rifle (.22 cal rimfire) and shoot a 40-round match and then change to a smallbore handgun match (.22 cal rim fire) that will also be a 40-round match (pistol size targets.)
We hope to see all of our old friends and make some new friends. We will start April XX so bring out the .22s and lets start the fun. Sight in starts at 8:30 a.m. and match begins at 9:00 a.m.

PPC: Practical Pistol
Competition
PPC was started prior to W.W.II by the FBI., and it was termed the Practical Pistol Course until 1959. Two Indiana State Police Officers and a special agent for the FBI, developed the course of fire for police officer training. Several years later the NRA picked up on it and developed the National Police Pistol Championship in Jackson, Mississippi.
Today, the course is fired with a semi auto pistol or revolver at different positions ranging from standing, kneeling, prone, right hand barricade, and left hand barricade. Time limits range from 20 seconds to 2 minutes 45 seconds.
This is a good way to learn marksmanship and become proficient with a handgun.
Equipment required: Any center fire, open sighted, double action revolver, or semi auto pistol, 120-200 rounds of ammo, holster is desired. This match is open to anyone who wants to shoot it.

NRA Action Pistol i.e.: Bianchi Cup type shooting is open to all Competitors.
To get a classification card you must be a member of the NRA, or you can shoot in the unclassified class, which is the Master class.
We will have a .22 Rimfire Class at our match. This is for someone just starting out or for the person that just wants to shoot and have fun the inexpensive way. Just have a strong side draw holster for the gun, come out, and have some fun! Your scores will be submitted to the NRA and you will get a Classification in the Rimfire Class in NRA Action Pistol.
Other than .22 Rimfire the minimum caliber is 9 mm and the power factor required is 120,000. Bullet velocity times bullet weight equals power factor. i.e.: a 115gr bullet would have a velocity of 1044 fps to make power factor (115 x 1044 = 120,060). Guns used can be right out of a box or fully customized, that is up to you and your bank account.
To keep things fair, Action Pistol has five classes that competitors
shoot in according to their skill level.
High Master
Master
Expert
Sharpshooter
Marksman

We shoot every Friday of the month (except for the 4th Friday) starting in November and continuing through March. Sight-in is from 6:00pm until 6:45pm. The time from 6:45pm until 7:00pm is for final range preparation, announcements and safety briefing. The .22 Rifle Match begins promptly at 7:00pm. A voluntary .22 Pistol Match follows the rifle match.
The Rifle Match is fired at 25 yards and consists of 10 shots on each of six separate targets for a total of 60 rounds. Shooters have 3 minutes to fire the 10 shots required for each target. We shoot 20 rounds kneeling or sitting (shooters choice), 20 rounds prone and 20 rounds standing. The targets are designed for .22 LR rimfire scoped rifles. A 9X or higher power scope is suggested in order to clearly see the targets.
A Pistol Match will follow the rifle match and is also fired at 25 yards. It consists of 10 shots on each of two separate bullseye style targets for a total of 20 rounds. A red dot sight or low power pistol scope is suggested.
