Pistol

Whatever it states in the IPC Rules applies for disabled shooters. Courses of fire, gender, etc. If it is not listed in IPC rules then and only then you revert to ISSF rules. i.e. specs on air rifle are not listed in IPC, so you revert to ISSF specs on the rifle.

Electronic Targets

I have a Megalink System and I can tell you that I did not pay $3000 for it More like $1300, comes with many rolls of paper and aiming circles. I use an old laptop. There are a few quirks with it, but nothing major. I would unconditionally recommend it to anyone.
Work great!
