2009 PPC (Modified) Shooting Season PDF Print E-mail

Introduction
Welcome to the 2009 PPC Shooting Season at LC&SA.  All shooters are welcome - both members and non-members.  We meet the first and third Wednesdays from May through October.  Sign-in is at 5:30 p.m. at the pistol range. Both new and experienced shooters are invited.  You are encouraged to bring your spouse, neighbor, and/or a friend.

What is PPC ?
PPC stands for ‘Police Pistol Combat'. This is one of the handgun training methods used to train police officers. Courses of fire are made up of a number of ‘strings' requiring 8 to 18 rounds to be fired. The strings of fire involve engaging silhouette targets from close range (as close as 3 yards) to more challenging distances (up to 25 yards) and include strong-hand, weak-hand, and various firing positions, including firing from behind cover.  All strings of fire are timed.  The strings are 'revolver neutral' which means that all firearms are loaded with a maximum of six rounds.
Therefore, a minimum of three speed loaders and/or magazine are necessary.  Targets are scored and standings are maintained.  An awards banquet will be held at the end of the PPC shooting season.

General LC&SA PPC Range Rules
We run a ‘cold' range.  This means firearms remain unloaded until instructed to load on the firing line. When you arrive, holster your empty firearm at the designated SAFE AREA.  Do not touch your firearm again until you are on the firing line and instructed to load and make ready. You may load magazines/speed loaders at benches located away form the Safe Area.

NRA safety rules are followed at all times:
Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction
Always keep the firearm unloaded until ready to use (until instructed to load and make ready)
Always keep your finger out of the trigger guard until ready to shoot (your sights are on the target)
