PPC
Ray,
WOW! What a change from the way I was taught and later taught others. I shot my first PPC in 1968 at Atlantic City Police range. It was called the FBI Academy Course at that time. Back then, There were no automatics allowed and everything was set-up for a revolver. I still have the original pictured text using only 5 shot loadings in a wheel gun and starting in the prone position at 60 yards. The 5 shot loadings was a holdover from the days of letting your hammer rest on an empty cylinder. One also had to run from cover to cover during the allotted time. Later on I qualified a few police depts. in Atlantic County with a Game Warden who was a pretty savvy pistolero. Mary Lou and I attended the week long NRA Police Firearm Instructor School at Camp Perry 4 years in a row, also attending the Small Arms Firing School (SAFS) conducted by the military for M-16 and service pistol. I have gotten out some of the instructor manuals and looked them over. We also were invited up to NYPD Firearms Unit and spent a day with those folks. We got to meet many people like Bill Jordan, Frank Mcgee, Dan Wesson, and Herb Binsbacher. I shot PPC competition and once shot next to Frank May who was the National Police Champion at that time. Pretty heady stuff for a comparative novice. Didn't mean to run on so but I am amazed at changes that have taken place. Thanks again for transcribing the course for us. Quantrill
