I was just wondering if anyone on here has shot a 600-### in PPC and if so how long they had been practicing to reach that score. Both my self and my girlfriend will be shooting PPC come the fall. Its really the only shooting sport I haven't had much experience in. My father however was a very decent shot (having shot many 600s) when he was still competing in PPC and can still average 596 without practice. I know what it takes from a load development point of view but I'm about to have a rude awakening when I start working on my 686 trigger control. Im hoping to reach that magic 600 before year 5. Does anyone have any pointers on reference points for getting the exact same grip on the gun every time it comes out of the holster or after a reload?
Are there any PPC Masters around??

I shot PPC for over 20 years and you will be doing a lot of draws from the holster (at home, empty gun) just to get the grip right from the holster. Another practice are the reloads - make dummies using brass cases, lead bullets, no powder and primers. Colour the brass black.

I think they are all dead.
Does anyone shoot ppc anymore

We are still alive and very active in NW Ontario. Just finished hosting the Ontario Provincials and am now focusing my training schedule for the Nationals coming up in Abbotsford B.C.
7Sringer what is your fathers name? Anyone who can shoot 600s and 595 without practice has my undivided attention!

I'm not familiar with PPC at all, so I looked it up when I saw that the Nationals is in Abbotsford.
Is 600 considered good?
http://www.shooter.org/ccsc/WHATSPPC.HTM This page seems to indicate that 1500 is a perfect score.
nvm...
With a bit more reading, I found out that there are PPC-1500 and PPC-600 matches. I'm guessing the PPC-600 matches are only 60 rounds since the PPC-1500 appear to be 150.

My best score was 1473 / 1500 but then I started shooting IPSC and that ruined everything. Hard to get that level of concentration and focus needed for high PPC scores. One thing is for certain and has been stated already. You have to practice like crazy to do things exactly the same over and over again. And those things have to be perfect. Practice is great but I never would have passed expert without proper instruction. I thank Jay Wright for that. Hungrybeagle, you could do it if you shot at half your normal speed.
There aren't a lot of holster makers making break front revolver holsters any more, your best bet is a Safariland 002. The problem with that is that Safariland's Canadian distributor sucks, Plan B - find a Safariland dealer in the US and order from them. Are you shooting open or distinguished?
I am just trying to get the gear together and see if I can get interest again.I have never shot a match.It has always been between me and another fella,puttin together a course of fire,then competing to ourselves.PPC has not been big here for years (20ish)...got the gun,and the goods,but never what I considered a proper holster.

hi roly, arent you a grand master?
PPC is still very popular at my club and I will be coming out too. An interesting thing they've been doing in QC was to organize PPC-style rifle matches. Black guns are cool nowadays, not too many rifle-only matches where you actually move and stupid CFO rules created a perfect storm down there. Other provinces should look into something like that if they want any hope for the future of the sport. I know IPSC-Ontario is very slow on the uptake of the rifles, so it's a niche that could use filling 
Edit: Just a note that the rifle event is what made me wanna attend our club's regular PPC nights mostly because next time around I wanna practice in their duty pistol shoots.

I have shot PPC some 20 years ago at the Abbotsford Fish and Game Club. Has the course of fire changed in PPC since I shot the sport? Is it mainly done with semi-auto handguns now? Where is a good source for PPC targets, rule book, etc.?
My attitude is trigger time is good time. So it doesn't matter if I shoot IDPA, 3-gun, NRA match, etc. I just want to have the opportunity to shoot. With PPC it one be just one more thing I could practice or play with.

At our club it's mostly semi-autos but plenty of guys with wheelguns out there too, so if you got one and a bunch of speed loaders, you won't feel left out. Not sure about changes in rules as I've never shot the discipline with a handgun (looking to change that as a result of attending the long gun event).
Robpad. The course of fire hasn't changed in the past 20yrs (individual 1500 or Distinguished). The Duty Pistol course of fire came into existence in about '98 (stock double-action/striker fired autos, fixed sights, police style holsters & mag pouches, different course of fire). While autos have seen more use as of late, wheel guns are still very popular. Can't remember where we got our last supply of B-27's, MD Charleton seems to ring a bell. Rule book & courses of fire can be found on their website www.cpca-ppc. org .
