“Official bodies”

IPAS (Iron plate action shooting). Don’t be put off by the title - it’s a different form of “speed shooting”. Perfect for clubs wanting to shoot rapid fire pistol within limited space and with range equipment that’s easy to construct, set up and clear away/store. Loads of info on their site, find it by clicking HERE.

|
UKPSA (United Kingdom Practical Shooting Association). Our “ruling body”. Their site (click HERE for a link) cover all forms of practical shooting, not just pistol. You can download a full copy of the UKPSA PP rules from there. It’s a long download (about 45 pages) but well worth it. Full specifications for the various classes of pistol, target details and dimensions, scoring systems, safety rules, stage design - the lot.

Clubs
|
|
This is not an exhaustive listing, but shows those I could find on the web where air (or CO2) pistol shooting at least gets a mention on their site. If you know of any others (and there must be more), let me know and I’ll add the details. If they’re not on the web a contact address/’phone number is fine.

Magazines
|
|
Unfortunately there are no magazines that cater purely for pistol shooters. The two popular monthly titles - Airgun World and Airgunner have virtually no coverage of PP but they’re chock full of ads, with plenty of CO2 pistols on offer.
|
|
There is one on line magazine and this seems to be going from strength to strength. There’s an interesting article (illustrated) on pistol holds that has recently been added - find it in the help section. http://www.airguns.f9.co.uk/
