Registered Competitors will receive the 2014 National Police Shooting Championships
Tournament Program Book in the Competitor Package during on-site check in. The NPSC Match Program Book serves as the official program during the Championships.
The National Police Shooting Championships are made possible because of generous support from many
law enforcement product providers including:
Well it is once again time for the annual National Police Shooting Championships
and we invite you to join us for days of shooting challenges, lots of fun and a chance to
meet fantastic law enforcement professionals from all over the United States and
international shooting team members.
The Championships are open to public and private law enforcement members and
select law enforcement members of the U.S. military. This is not an Invitational Only
Match, there is no Point Series that you have to gain to be allowed to come, no lottery
slots you have to try for, and no club slot you have to be selected for. Everyone is
welcome to come to the National Police Shooting Championships whether you just shoot
one match and come just for the day, or shoot all of the matches and join ue for the
entire event, NPSC Banquet and Awards Ceremony.
And no, you do not have to be a High Master shooter to attend or do well at the
Championships. In fact High Masters and Masters make up the smallest group of
shooters who attend the Championships and like all Police Pistol Combat matches you
will be competing against those shooters in your own skill classification level. You can
even shoot as an Unclassified Shooter if you have never fired in a NRA Police Pistol
Combat match or hold no PPC Classification.
So come out and join us in Albuquerque for the Championships, meet new friends,
see beautiful New Mexico, and have a ton of fun.
See you on the range,

the first relay of the match you want to sign up for.
All team members must be from the same agency. No “pick-up” teams are
allowed. Membership can include officers retired from the agency if they are not now employed by another eligible agency.
Match Scheduling: Four and Two Officer Team Matches using the same match firearm, such as Open Class Revolvers, will be fired at the same time
since both matches use the same course of fire.
Team Member Firing Order: So that all team shooters can have the opportunity to have a coach when firing, half of the team will shoot and the
second half will coach and then they will switch off when the course is
complete. For instance, for a Four Officer Team, two officers will be shooting while two others coach. When the course is done, Range Control will direct
the team to remove the fired targets and post two new targets for the second half of the team to fire on.
Target Lanes: Target lanes will not be assigned. Four Officer Teams will
pick TWO open targets lanes on the LFFT side of the range and post two targets to start. Two Officer Teams will pick ONE open target lane on the

THE NEW MEXICO CHALLENGE
This is a free non-tournament event conducted by NRA Law Enforcement Competitions to expose law enforcement and security professionals from
New Mexico agencies who do not have a permanent PPC Classification to the NRA Police Pistol Combat program and the National Police Shooting
Championships.
Officers will be run through the PPC Stock Semi-Automatic Pistol Course of
Fire and since it is a non-tournament event they will not have to compete against experienced PPC shooters. Previous New Mexico Challenge shooters
may enter the Alumni Special Category even if they have a PPC Classification but cannot win overall trophies, prizes or firearm awards.
Rules are simple: officers only need their duty handgun, holster, magazines, and 50 rounds of ammunition. No need for duty ammunition, inexpensive
practice, or training ammo is fine.
We will have trophy awards for top shooters and law enforcement category
awards, such as Municipal, County, State, Federal, and Security.
Team Event: Challenge officers from your rival Squad, Division, Unit,
District, or your best friends. There will be un-fired team matches for 2 and 4 officer teams. Just tell us before you shoot who your teammate is
and we will combine your individual scores to get your team score.
Call NRA Law Enforcement Competitions at 703.267.1632 or go to
http://npsc.nra.org and follow the NPSC links for more information on the New Mexico Challenge and for the registration form.
Registration & check in from 0900 to 1000 / Firing relays begin at approximately 1030 / Awards Ceremony is after all relays have fired
and Final Bulletin is completed (approximately 1330 hours).

The event is held in the action shooting bays located past the NPSC
Statistical Office building.
For equipment and firearm requirements and more information about the Tactical Police Competition program visit http://tpc.nra.org.

NPSC PRACTICE DAY
Date: Sunday, September 14, 2014
Location: NPSC Police Pistol Combat Range
Cost: $ 8 Per Relay Ticket
Relays Offered: There are three types of relays held on NPSC
Practice Day.
Match 5 Relay: Range Control will run the 60 round NRA National Police Course of Fire. This will allow competitors to practice at the 7,
15, 25 and 50 yard line as if under match conditions.
Match 4 Relay: Range Control will run Match 4, the 25 yard Standing
Without Support Course of Fire.
Zeroing Relay: At 25 yards, Range Control will allow competitors to fire the number of rounds they choose during the time allotted to fire.
Shooters will then be allowed to inspect their target and after all
shooters have returned from downrange, allowed to handle their unloaded handgun and make any necessary sight adjustments.
Another firing period will then be provided, repeating the process.
Shooters will then move to the 50 yard line and the process repeated to check/adjust 50 yard sight zeros.
Relay Format: While each relay follows a set course and time limits,
shooters may practice whatever stage and fire whatever number of
rounds they desire as long as they follow all range commands. For instance, during the Match 4 Relay, instead of firing strings of 12
rounds standing off hand at 25 yards, you could practice left hand
barricade or during Zeroing Relays you may practice whatever stages you desire during the open fire period.
Multiple Guns: You may fire/zero multiple guns during the Practice
Day. As always, guns must be cased or holstered. Just check with
Practice Day Range Officers on how, and when you may switch firearms.
Practice Day Ticket Prize Drawing: A Practice Day Prize Drawing will be conducted consisting of donated merchandise. To be eligible for the
Practice Day Prize Drawing, competitors must place one of their shooter
labels on each ticket or write their name on the Practice Day Ticket and place them in the Practice Day Prize Drawing Box on the range. The
names of the winners of the Practice Day Prize Drawing will be posted outside the NPSC Awards Office on Tuesday afternoon September 16th.

Quick View Schedule
Tentative Assigned Relays & Times
To help shooters plan their day we will be using assigned relay numbers and times
for each match except the Law Enforcement Shotgun Championship Match.
Final times, the number of relays, and relay numbers will not be determined until registration numbers are determined and may change during the Tournament
because of re-fires, weather, or other issues. So make sure you pay attention to any relay announcements made over the public address system or that may be
posted around the NPSC buildings.
The relay number format is based on the match being fired and the relay number within the match. The first one or two numbers are the match number and the last
number is the assigned relay for that match.
Examples:
Relay 133 is Championship Match 13, the Open Class Semi-Automatic Pistol 1500 Championship and is for the third relay for that match.
Relay 71 is for Championship Match 7, the Stock Service Revolver Championship match and is for the first relay.
Relay 312 would be for relay two of Match 31, the Two Officer Open Class
Revolver Team Championship.
