Military was almost always power and accuracy, and PPC was almosty all accuracy.38 wadcutters in 4 or six in Smiths were the rule. For those of us that are "old guys," the PPC and military courses were extremely generous when it came to time allowed to fire a course of fire. The six o'clock hold allows for you to see exactly where yur sights are when teh shot breaks, but becomes more and more difficult as the time allowed decreases.
Our qualification course was even teh old PPC Long Course that involved shooting 12 rounds at 50 yards. And when I first started in law enforcement we were using Smith and Wesson Model 66-1's, and most all fo the proficent shooter used to two-stage the double action pull. And I do remember carbide lamps and the soot that was used to blacken the sights. Man, I must be an old timer because I was originally taught the 6 o'clock hold by the Marine corps 40 or so years ago. I fear it is becoming part of shooting history only old timers talk about, like staging a S&W revolver trigger before the shot and carbide sight black PPC shooters at longer distances would sometimes utilize a variation of this called a "neck hold" on a B-27 Silhouette but if their target wasn't tacked up with a plumb bob ( canted) or they canted their revolver in any degree the shots would miss laterallyĪs stated above it doesn't work too well for our sport with the varying distances and sizes of targets and fast pace Some trap shooters will use a variant to this by having their shotguns pattern higher than the sight plane so they can see a rising target String of fire quite a few times back in the day as a midrange wadcutter arcs something fierce. black sights on black bull and fine tune alignment the bulls eye is balanced like a dot on an I however if you shoot at a different sized bullseye or the distance changes.you must re zero the firearm, most bullseye shooters have red dot optics these days so one less thing to worry about my S&W 52 got adjusted from the 25 yd. In Sports where the target is a consistent size and distance away it is a useful way of aiming.īullseye shooting comes to mind where the white paper makes the sights easier to see vs.
