Action Pistol Shooting and Practical
Shooting are politically correct terms for Combat Shooting. This is a
fast moving event in which the participant must be able to draw, shoot,
move, and reload quickly and safely. There are many, many courses of
fire. Each match we will shoot from three to five courses or stages.
Each stage presents different shooting challenges and problems to be
solved. Both accuracy and speed determine the final score of the
shooter.
For more information about this sport in general see the
the
United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) organization,
of which the Lewiston Pistol club is an affiliate,
or the
International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) web site.
