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. For additional information, call David Elder @ 816-697-2339.
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. Match course of fire for the NRA 1500 course: Match course of fire for PMA 1200 course: Practice: Year round we will be indoors every other Wednesday at 7 p.m. for practice/instruction at the Brickyard Range. Matches: Entry fee for the Matches is $15.00. For more information contact Ron Ashmore Email or phone 816-373-5867.
Practice on Tuesday nights Fall/Winter/Spring, outdoors in Summer months. Check monthly calendar for time and dates. Link to sanctioning body USPSA.

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. We shoot at tombstone shaped cardboard targets and steel targets that are 8" diameter. We shoot the four different Bianchi events each month. Moving target event from 10 yds to 25 yds, 48 rounds
ammo. Timer activated turning targets on the Barricades and Practical events.
