Need In formation

[crappie cowboy]

Can someone break down all the different classes of competition
shooting, and what the initials stand for?
I here about the bullseye competition, what is that?
Let me run something by yall, if I may.
I have a pre 27 smith and wesson 357 mag, 5 inch barrel made in 1954 or 1955, serial number S 102***.
I would assume it would be a great shooter, but I've never shot it sense I've owned it.
I want to shoot this gun, not just look at it. Would this old gun be up to some type of competition shooting.
I don't want to modify the gun, I'm afraid it would take away from it value. The gun is in excellent condition.
Does this make good sense to yall, or do I just not shoot it, and just fondle it now and then?

Here's a start, but only a start:
Bullseye is NRA sanctioned.
NRA Competitions

Other pistol shooting organizations:
International Defensive Pistol Association
United States Practical Shooting Association
ICORE Homepage
SASS - Home

Your gun would be a candidate for PPC, especially the distinguished pistol matches if you have those types of events close to you.

PPC is fun, but normally only open to LE.

ICORE looks like the cats meow for revolver competition. I havent shot it YET, but I finely located some local matches so I'm loading up.

The ICORE website listed above has a list of local clubs & Matches.

Who do you need to get in formation?

I need you to get In formation... And tell me if you'd shoot my pre 27 357 mag. or let her alone, and just admire her.
Now shape up and speak up....
