Please check your course of fire description. It states you require shooting left hand barricade with the right hand and right hand barricade with the left hand, Is this a mis print??

Are there restrictions on the type of firearms you can use? I didn't see anything about it in the description other than revolver or semi in at least 9mm

If you're shooting from the left barricade, maybe you're shooting from the right side of it with your right hand.

Vice versa for the other side?

Please check your course of fire description. It states you require shooting left hand barricade with the right hand and right hand barricade with the left hand, Is this a mis print??

This is correct. You stand behind the barricade to your right and fire with the left hand controlling the trigger. (You may still use 2 hands) Then switch to the right hand barricade and shoot with the left hand controlling the trigger (again, you may still use 2 hands).

I can see where the confusion is resulting. In our ports the barricades are hinged to swing into the port when needed. While you are shooting from the LEFT barricade, your are actually peeking out from the right side of that barricade. Hope that makes sense.

Hi underwhere. I don't know what other restriction might apply. You can use a revolver that holds more than 6 but you can only load 6 rds. You can use a hi cap auto but still you can only load 6. Magnums are OK, we just ask that you lower power loads (ie .38 spec in a .357 mag, .44 spec in a .44 mag, etc)

.32 spec, .380, .38, .357, 9 mm, .357 sig, .40 S&W, 10 mm, .41 mag, .44 spec, .44 mag, .45 ACP, etc are all legal, there is no "power factor" applied.

If you have several guns in your collection to choose from, .38 special revolver with target wadcutters or a .45 ACP with target semiwadcutters are ususally the winning gun, although any fairly accurate handgun can do well. S&W model 52's (semi auto 38 in .38 spec target gun) is also a top choice (if you can find/afford one, lol). The availabiltiy of speedloaders to fit a particular revolver eliminate some of them.

Hope I covered your question, if not, feel free to ask.

Ok that's exactly what I wanted to know thanks.
Thinking of bringing my Glock 34 or my Kimber target

 

[pduthely]

how much to enter?

 

[SA John]

My all-time favorite shooting game - like it even better than pin shooting, especially when it's outdoors with targets out to 50 yards. (50 feet indoors is much better than nothing) I will be there for sure with a 625. Whitey 625 you gotta do this with your revolver. And shoot slow, slow, slow there's plenty of time.

[SA John]

Make that 627. Got all excited, Whitey.

I understand what you say now but having shot PPC (admittedly some time ago) it was always explained left hand from the left side of the barricade, right hand from the right side thus my confusion with the description. Thanks
