Ticket Info
Police Pistol Combat (PPC) League - Old Bridge Rifle and Pistol Club
PUBLIC INVITED - 2nd FRIDAY OF EVERY MONTH -Engaging pneumatically turning timed silhouette targets isn't something that's taught at a typical handgun class, it's a form of competition named Police Pistol Combat and it's been around for decades. Old Bridge Rifle & Pistol Club holds a PPC Match once a month on the second Friday, and some Jersey gun owners that wish to carry a sidearm are getting some great practice and instruction as well as camaraderie. Many are members of the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners, as are the league's co-chairmen Peter Luccarelli and CNJFO VP Dave "Rosey" Rosenthal.
Each 60-round Course-of-Fire, known as a "Relay", takes a little over 35 minutes to shoot. Starting from 7 yards, the shooters have 20 seconds (including a magazine change) to shoot 12 rounds at a B-27 silhouette. The next stage is 6 rounds in 9 seconds at 7 yards using just your dominant (strong) hand on the B-27. The third stage is 12 rounds in 30 seconds using both hands from 15 yards distance on the B-27. The fourth stage is shot from behind simulated "cover" 25 yards away onto a "reduced B-27" which is a B-34. In 2:45 each shooter (using both hands) draws FIRST then does 6 rounds sitting, 6 rounds kneeling, 6 rounds support (weak) hand with support and then 6 rounds dominant (strong) hand with support. The final stage is 6 rounds in 12 seconds using both hands from 25 yards on the full-size B-27 silhouette.

During breakfast a Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays Safety Officer will conduct a Safety Brief prior to our group hitting the course. Eye & ear protection is mandatory and must be worn at all times on the course. All shotguns must be field guns with minimum barrel length of 24" for break action, 22" for pump and semi-auto. No shot size larger than #7.5. LVSC will give you ear plugs & loan you shooting glasses if you left yours at home.
LVSC Course Rules
Golf Cart rentals are included in everyone's package, as well as a full 100 target, 16 station course. Bring your own shotgun & shells or you may rent a loaner shotgun & purchase shells at the office (from LVSC, inc.) prior to leaving the building.
Everyone will be assigned to a Squad. A Squad Leader who is responsible for assisting those with less experience will be assigned to each foursome (per LVSC Safety Procedures). One foursome per golf cart. If you wish to be squadded TOGETHER please let us know when you register! Water Coolers will be on the course all day, and bottled water will be supplied to us at breakfast. Comfort Stations are provided all around the course. Lunch time will be announced at breakfast, we're expected to all be off the course and back at the catering hall to visit with sponsors, draw the door prizes, and a lunch of assorted hoagies and sides.
We have use of the catering hall/meeting room all day, so our sponsors can be given tables to display their wares.
Loaner shotguns are available for rent from Lehigh Valley SC. All rental guns must use LVSC ammo. To reserve a loaner please contact LVSC directly at: 610-261-9616; Fax: 610-261-9618

Introduction to Firearms and Firearms Safety Program
CNJFO is looking for volunteers to assist with instructing basic handgun and rifle at our Youth Day event at Union Hill Gun Club, July 20, 2025.
Experience or NRA, USCCA certification as an instructor is preferred, but not required. All we ask for is a positive attitude, sufficient knowledge and experience to handle and use firearms in a safe manner, and a commitment to helping introduce the next generation to the knowledge, skills, and attitude needed to safely and effectively enjoy the shooting sports.
Instructors and support crew should plan to arrive by 11:30 pm to allow time for safety brief by UHGC CRSO and other organizational matters. Volunteers are also encouraged to stay until approximately 6:30 pm to assist with cleanup.
In addition to the satisfaction of helping to preserve the Second Amendment, all volunteers will receive a custom Youth Day tee and a hot meal. Thank You.
We are limiting attendance to 30 children to ensure personalized instruction, and a safe and family-friendly atmosphere.
