Looking for PPC in Illinois

[TomBOF]

Im just getting back into the hobby, and am wondering if anyone knows of monthly PPC matches in Illinois?
Its been years since I got "ready on the firing line" and have the itch.
Thanks in advance....

Sorry wrong area

Contact your local IL State Police office, and locate the closest range. If there is one close to you you can join the IL Police Assoc. as a class B member, and shoot in the state match's. It's great fun, I only regret they do not have a range close to me any longer.

I was in the same boat, wanting to get into PPC. Couldnt find any in this neck of the woods but found some ICORE shooting.

I shoot a unmodified Model 64 from duty rig (Hoyt breakfront) and use speed loaders. Times are slower then those with fancy 8 shot revolvers and moon clips, but I have more fun.

Just wondering if someone from outside the police that run the PC matches have anything a civilian could shoot with a pc gun. Frank

Michigan Matches

The Michigan Police Combat Pistol Association (MPCPA) will be running the State Championship Matches along with a NRA Regional near the end of August. Check out our website Michigan Police Combat Pistol Association for dates and the flyers. We also list local monthly matches held by local Sportsman and Pistol Clubs. Again check the web for dates and flyers. All of the clubs here allow civilian competitors and just check for proper gear, weapons and safe handling practices. On average we have 20-30 shooters at the local matches in the summer with a few more for the State and Regional Championships. Through out the summer we will get in a total of 12-16 full 1500's fired

There is also a very strong indoor match season that consists of Match 5s fired on a reduced sized target. The winter matches usually get 200 to 300 hundred shooters. Good food, with cash and prizes awarded. The biggest match last year was the Taylor Pistol Club, it had 370 shooters and gave away around 30 guns and a lot of cash... Again follow the website for more information, history, scores, pictures and shooting tips..

PPC is alive and kickin in Michigan, come on up and throw some rounds down range with us....

take care

President/MPCPA

There used to be a great bunch at the ISRA range once a month on Sundays, but cant find anything on their website.
Rantoul and Iriqois County used to have matches as well but just cant find any info.....

"TomBOF":

The Illinois Police Association is still overseeing the Governor’s Twenty Matches at various locations across the state.

You might be able to learn more about other local matches from the people who run these events.

And these guys are still around: The South Suburban Police Pistol League.

They are (were?) a pretty serious Bullseye League and even if that’s not what you’re looking for, they’re still coppers who shoot and who might be able to steer you to PPC or Combat events in the area that are more to your liking. In any case, they are still shooting out of Midlothian almost every month.

Rantoul and Iroquois county ppc

TomBOF-

What years did you shoot at Rantoul and Iroquois county? I shot at both locations from late 70s to early 90s (from Champaign PD).

I think Iroquois County Law Enforcement Association still has shoots but I heard IPA is not being shot there this year unless they have changed plans. IPA is still holding shoots but at fewer locations than in the past. Rantoul hasn't had ppc shoots for several years.

We used to shoot IPA at ISP District 10 (Pesotum), at Rantoul PD range and the finally at Iroquois county fair grounds . Paris PD used to have shoots as well but I have been out of the loop for a long time.

"What years did you shoot at Rantoul and Iroquois county?"

Kinda looks like Im gonna be SOL on this quest. Any close to me seems to be active LE matches, and honestly Im not gonna go to Michigan to shoot a match...seems like bullseye maybe the new sport. Thanks anyways guys for all the links.
