The KDFGC 1500 Discipline (Handgun / Holster – Target Shooting Sport) holds its practices twice weekly on the Outdoor 1500 Range (also known as the UIT Range). Usually on Wednesday & Sunday, but occasionally subject to change. Please check with the Group Leader noted below.
The 4 th Sunday of each month we hold a 1500 Sanctioned Tournament, so practice is pre-empted on these Sundays.
A brief description on 1500 PPC shooting can be found on the KDFGC Website - under the “Clubs” Tab – scroll down to KDFGC 1500 (PPC). KDFGC members are welcome to come out at any time to watch our practice sessions (or Tournaments) to get a better understanding of the sport.
1500 practice sessions are conducted using its formal 1500 competition calibres (the most common being .38 Spl & 9 mm). Members can also participate in practices using .22 cal. Other than the revolver or semi-auto pistol, one requires an appropriate holster, belt, magazines or speed loaders and their belt pouches. On a practice session we normally fire around 100 – 120 rounds of ammunition.
To participate in the organized practice sessions club members must have completed the KDFGC Handgun Level 1 and 2 Courses, or equivalent, or had other professional holster training (Law Enforcement, Military, Etc) – along with an evaluation by the Discipline Range Officers.
The only cost to participate is for the targets used (supplied by our Discipline). To pay for the targets, you can use a 1500 target punch card, available in the office for $20.00 (for 10 punches) or via the KDFGC Online Store. You can also pay by cash, a $3.00 fee (exact change please).
