For anyone looking for a shooting game that offers some variety in shooting positions and requires total focus and mental discipline, PPC is hard to beat.
PPC is a revolver "friendly" type of target shooting and is a great way to get a new shooter into competition and hone the skills of sight alignment and trigger control.
All shooting is done two handed. The standard short courses of fire consisting of 60 rounds are fired in 4 stages. The targets are B27R silhouettes.
Minimum equipment required:
A handgun, usually a six-shot revolver of .32 caliber or above. Most PPC shooters use .38 Special Smith & Wesson K or L frame revolvers. Semi-auto's of .35 caliber or above) are fine too.
There are many modifications that can be done, but a stock gun will be fine to get started. Trigger jobs, custom grips, heavy barrels and sight ribs are among the most popular modifications. A holster and sturdy belt (must be "strong-side", no cross draw or shoulder rigs) 3 speed loaders or 4 magazines (3 is a bare minimum, the more the better) A loading tray (unless you have 10 speed loaders) A bucket or tray for your reloads and empty cartridge cases Belt mounted speed loader holders for at least three loaders
· Eye and ear protection
At least 60 rounds of ammunition, preferably light to mid-load wad cutters.
Full metal jacket and magnum loads are specifically disallowed at most matches.

For those without a lot of time or money to spend on the firing line, the PPC course of fire is something that can be practiced to perfection through dry firing with dummy ammunition at home.
Years ago I shot (poorly) my first PPC match on the indoor range of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary in the middle of winter.
In an effort to improve my mediocre score I dry fired the full 1500 Match course of fire in my basement every single evening until the next monthly match versus the Constabulary - and won the competition, even beating their firearms instructor, without having fired a single live round in practice.
