Page 3: Tournament Announcement

Well it is once again time for the annual National Police Shooting Championships

and we invite you to join us for days of shooting challenges, lots of fun and a chance to

meet fantastic law enforcement professionals from all over the United States and

international shooting team members.

The Championships are open to public and private law enforcement members and

select law enforcement members of the U.S. military. This is not an Invitational Only

Match, there is no Point Series that you have to gain to be allowed to come, no lottery

slots you have to try for, and no club slot you have to be selected for. Everyone is

welcome to come to the National Police Shooting Championships whether you just shoot

one match and come just for the day, or shoot all of the matches and join ue for the

entire event, NPSC Banquet and Awards Ceremony.

And no, you do not have to be a High Master shooter to attend or do well at the

Championships. In fact High Masters and Masters make up the smallest group of

shooters who attend the Championships and like all Police Pistol Combat matches you

will be competing against those shooters in your own skill classification level. You can

even shoot as an Unclassified Shooter if you have never fired in a NRA Police Pistol

Combat match or hold no PPC Classification.

So come out and join us in Albuquerque for the Championships, meet new friends,

see beautiful New Mexico, and have a ton of fun.

See you on the range,

CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM MATCHES

Team Matches will be fired on Wednesday and Thursday with the Team

Awards Ceremony taking place on Thursday afternoon in the NPSC Awards Building.

Team sign up will be done in the Statistical Office beginning on Sunday September 14th and may be done up to one hour before the beginning of

the first relay of the match you want to sign up for.

All team members must be from the same agency. No “pick-up” teams are

allowed. Membership can include officers retired from the agency if they are not now employed by another eligible agency.

Match Scheduling: Four and Two Officer Team Matches using the same match firearm, such as Open Class Revolvers, will be fired at the same time

since both matches use the same course of fire.

Team Member Firing Order: So that all team shooters can have the opportunity to have a coach when firing, half of the team will shoot and the

second half will coach and then they will switch off when the course is

complete. For instance, for a Four Officer Team, two officers will be shooting while two others coach. When the course is done, Range Control will direct

the team to remove the fired targets and post two new targets for the second half of the team to fire on.

Target Lanes: Target lanes will not be assigned. Four Officer Teams will

pick TWO open targets lanes on the LFFT side of the range and post two targets to start. Two Officer Teams will pick ONE open target lane on the

RIGHT side of the range and post one target to start.

THE NEW MEXICO CHALLENGE

This is a free non-tournament event conducted by NRA Law Enforcement Competitions to expose law enforcement and security professionals from

New Mexico agencies who do not have a permanent PPC Classification to the NRA Police Pistol Combat program and the National Police Shooting

Championships.

Officers will be run through the PPC Stock Semi-Automatic Pistol Course of

Fire and since it is a non-tournament event they will not have to compete against experienced PPC shooters. Previous New Mexico Challenge shooters

may enter the Alumni Special Category even if they have a PPC Classification but cannot win overall trophies, prizes or firearm awards.

Rules are simple: officers only need their duty handgun, holster, magazines, and 50 rounds of ammunition. No need for duty ammunition, inexpensive

practice, or training ammo is fine.

We will have trophy awards for top shooters and law enforcement category

awards, such as Municipal, County, State, Federal, and Security.

Team Event: Challenge officers from your rival Squad, Division, Unit,

District, or your best friends. There will be un-fired team matches for 2 and 4 officer teams. Just tell us before you shoot who your teammate is

and we will combine your individual scores to get your team score.

Call NRA Law Enforcement Competitions at 703.267.1632 or go to

http://npsc.nra.org and follow the NPSC links for more information on the New Mexico Challenge and for the registration form.

Registration & check in from 0900 to 1000 / Firing relays begin at approximately 1030 / Awards Ceremony is after all relays have fired

and Final Bulletin is completed (approximately 1330 hours).

and handling. TPC adds additional elements using duty handgun, shotgun, and patrol rifles in

scenario and skill based courses of fire.

The event is held in the action shooting bays located past the NPSC

Statistical Office building.

For equipment and firearm requirements and more information about the Tactical Police Competition program visit http://tpc.nra.org.

Building, Saturday and Sunday from 0600 to 0650. If you do not register by 0650 you cannot participate.

Check In: ALL TPC shooters must check in and get their competitor packets inside the NPSC Awards/Statistical Office Building the morning of the

day they are shooting during the open registration hours listed above. If you do not check in you cannot fire.

Awards: The TPC Awards Ceremony will take place Sunday inside the NPSC Awards Office building when course breakdown is complete and scores are

finalized.

NPSC PRACTICE DAY

Date: Sunday, September 14, 2014

Location: NPSC Police Pistol Combat Range

Cost: $ 8 Per Relay Ticket

Relays Offered: There are three types of relays held on NPSC

Practice Day.

Match 5 Relay: Range Control will run the 60 round NRA National Police Course of Fire. This will allow competitors to practice at the 7,

15, 25 and 50 yard line as if under match conditions.

Match 4 Relay: Range Control will run Match 4, the 25 yard Standing

Without Support Course of Fire.

Zeroing Relay: At 25 yards, Range Control will allow competitors to fire the number of rounds they choose during the time allotted to fire.

Shooters will then be allowed to inspect their target and after all

shooters have returned from downrange, allowed to handle their unloaded handgun and make any necessary sight adjustments.

Another firing period will then be provided, repeating the process.

Shooters will then move to the 50 yard line and the process repeated to check/adjust 50 yard sight zeros.

Relay Format: While each relay follows a set course and time limits,

shooters may practice whatever stage and fire whatever number of

rounds they desire as long as they follow all range commands. For instance, during the Match 4 Relay, instead of firing strings of 12

rounds standing off hand at 25 yards, you could practice left hand

barricade or during Zeroing Relays you may practice whatever stages you desire during the open fire period.

Multiple Guns: You may fire/zero multiple guns during the Practice

Day. As always, guns must be cased or holstered. Just check with

Practice Day Range Officers on how, and when you may switch firearms.

Practice Day Ticket Prize Drawing: A Practice Day Prize Drawing will be conducted consisting of donated merchandise. To be eligible for the

Practice Day Prize Drawing, competitors must place one of their shooter

labels on each ticket or write their name on the Practice Day Ticket and place them in the Practice Day Prize Drawing Box on the range. The

names of the winners of the Practice Day Prize Drawing will be posted outside the NPSC Awards Office on Tuesday afternoon September 16th.

Tentative Assigned Relays & Times

To help shooters plan their day we will be using assigned relay numbers and times

for each match except the Law Enforcement Shotgun Championship Match.

Final times, the number of relays, and relay numbers will not be determined until registration numbers are determined and may change during the Tournament

because of re-fires, weather, or other issues. So make sure you pay attention to any relay announcements made over the public address system or that may be

posted around the NPSC buildings.

The relay number format is based on the match being fired and the relay number within the match. The first one or two numbers are the match number and the last

number is the assigned relay for that match.

Examples:

Relay 133 is Championship Match 13, the Open Class Semi-Automatic Pistol 1500 Championship and is for the third relay for that match.

Relay 71 is for Championship Match 7, the Stock Service Revolver Championship match and is for the first relay.

Relay 312 would be for relay two of Match 31, the Two Officer Open Class

Revolver Team Championship.
