So how many Holiday Parties have you attended where almost everyone in the room wears their holstered sidearm as they schmere condiments on sandwiches? Last night CNJFO was invited to sponsor Old Bridge Rifle & Pistol Club's PPC (Police Practical Competition) league Holiday Party at what is best described as an "Eat-N-Shoot". Part social event & part hand gun league competition open to ALL, the annual party is held in the club's indoor range & meeting room in Old Bridge. You don't need to be a LEO to shoot the league (none of them are), which has been run at Old Bridge R&P for decades.
CNJFO Vice President Dave "Rosey" Rosenthal is league Match Director, and together with league Co-Chair Peter Luccarelli, have reestablished this hand gun discipline that requires accurate timed fire of 60 rounds on B-27 & B-34 silhouettes in a series of 5 stages starting at 7 yards. Since all hand guns that fall into USPSA's divisions are allowed, competitors can choose from .22 rimfire & semi-auto center fire to wheelies (revolvers), with or without a dot sight.
The 60 round COF relays (several every match) take place monthly on the 2nd Friday at the club's indoor range, are a great "refresher", involve limited movement, teach proper hand gun manipulation & holster draw, use of cover while engaging, weak hand & strong hand only tactics, and multiple positions. Membership in the club isn't required to shoot the league, and non-members simply pay the non-member rate of $20 to shoot the match.
Competitors usually bring enough ammo to shoot at least 2 relays each (120 rounds). Then Luccarelli holds a special "side match" afterwards. Last night league members engaged a B-27 full size silhouette in HALF the standard allotted time.
Thankful league members supported the Coalition by purchasing 5 memberships, multiple hats w/ logo patch, and a hoodie. A happy, festive & SAFE time was had by all! Thanks to everyone at OBR&PC PPC league for all your support and WELCOME NEW MEMBERS!
