- Practical Rifle
Practical Rifle is very similar to IPSC shooting and use similar stage styles upon which to base the course of fire on.
The purpose of Practical Rifle is both competition and skills development. It gives a competitor the opportunity to get your rifle "off the bench" and challenge your marksmanship skills while developing new skills most shooters can't practice on a range. Competitors will face new scenarios each month.
An excerpt from www.ipsc.org
"IPSC shooting represents a new, exciting form of sport shooting and was established to promote, maintain, and advance practical marksmanship.
What is IPSC shooting?
IPSC shooting is dynamic, challenging, and one of the fastest growing shooting sports in the world today. Courses of fire utilize many aspects not found in the more traditional shooting disciplines such as movement by the shooter, moving targets, multiple targets, and the freedom for the shooter to solve the shooting challenges presented in the courses of fire.
What makes IPSC shooting unique?
The appeal of the sport lies in the diversity of the courses of fire available to the shooter. By offering different courses of fire rather than set types, IPSC shooting continues to challenge the competitor and to improve his skills. There are continually new demands to challenge the IPSC shooting enthusiast."
