In order to be eligible, you must never have fired in a league NRA PPC service pistol match. You must fire in at least 3 of the service matches. Your top 2 scores will be averaged to determine your overall aggregate score. You may fire in as many matches as you wish. You may fire a revolver (barrel not to exceed 4 inches), or a service auto (barrel not to exceed 5.5 inches). You can mix and match your scores. We will award the top 3 shooters a pistol to be given at the S.C. Police Combat League Governor’s Top Twenty luncheon after the season. The top 33% of competitors will win awards.
