PPC Shooting Technique

Skooter · May 16, 2009, 12:25 PM

I've read and think I understand the course of fire and the positions but still have a couple of questions. Are you allowed to use the off hand to help support the gun - specifically during the left and right hand barricade stages? I like to wrap my off hand fingers around my shooting hand fingers for support, or to rest the butt of the gun on the palm of the non shooting hand. Is this OK or not? Exactly how involved can the non-shooting hand be in the different stages? Thanks.

Back when I was doing it, PPC was a two-handed match. You have to shoot the left barricade strings firing with the left hand, but may use the right for support.

That is a really cool course. Easy enough for noobs (cops) and challenging enough for (more advanced) folks.

Very fun.

Very funny Ed.

I shot PPC back a few months ago and really liked it. I am a noob and it was exactly the pace I was looking for.
