We take great pleasure and honour in inviting your shooters to participate in the impending 2009 Singapore Open Shooting Championships (2009 SOSC).

The Organizing Committee has taken superfluous endeavors to make certain your shoot and stay in uniquely Singapore (http://www.visitsingapore.com/publish/stbportal/en/index.html), a dynamic city rich in contrast and colour where you'll find a harmonious blend of culture and cuisine an enjoyable, exhilarating and memorable one where new friendships are discovered, built and nurtured.

 
The 2009 SOSC is the most prestigious shooting event in Singapore. We welcome you to join us, to make this championship a big success. Last year, we galvanized a milestone by holding the inaugural World Association 1500 Precision Pistol Competition (WA 1500 PPC), a light action full bore shooting discipline focusing on bulls eye precision and extraordinary shooting marksmanship to tests shooter's ability under a number of time limit, distance and position constraints (the course of fire).

This year, I'm happy to report that we intend to create yet another milestone for SSA in the number of participants for 2009 SOSC. To help us attain our goal, we had lined up the following events for your participation and support.

  1. ISSF Pistol & Rifle
    10m Air Pistol, 10m Air Rifle, 25m Centre-fire, 25m Sport Pistol, 25m Standard Pistol, 50m Free Pistol, 50m Prone Rifle and 50m 3 Positions. (http://www.issf-shooting.org)

     

  2. ISSF Clay Event
    Trap, Double Trap and Skeet. (http://www.issf-shooting.org)

     

  3. World Association 1500 Precision Pistol Competition (WA 1500 PPC)
    Main-match Pistol / Revolver, Distinguish Pistol, Stock Pistol, Service Revolver, Open Pistol (Modified) and Snub-nose Revolver (Modified). (http://www.wa1500.org/index1.htm). We will adhere strictly to the rules as stipulated by WA1500PPC as much as possible with some in-house rules to enhance participations. Rules and regulation will be briefed and discussed during the technical meeting to avoid misunderstandings.

    The only major exception is given to the Snub-nose Revolver (Modified) match where the rules and format is specially calibrated to suit Singapores mainstream Police revolver, the Taurus Md85.

    In the view of promoting precision pistol shooting and encouraging shooters of various skill sets, the Singapore Open Shooting Championship WA 1500 PPC will have two major classes; the Open and Production Classes. Each major class has five sub-classes, segregated by a fixed percentage; namely, High master class (98.4%), Master class (96%), Expert class (96%), Sharpshooter (92%) and finally Marksman (86% and below). The top three shooters of each sub class will each receive a wining medal. For more detail please see (/competitions/sosc2008/rules/PPC_Match_Rules_2007_-_9_Jun_2007.pdf).

     

  4. International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC)
    Four dynamic day stages and two demanding night stages (http://www.ipsc.org) 

   

     5.   The International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA)
            IDPA is the governing body of a shooting sport that simulates self-defense scenarios and real life   
           encounters. It was founded in 1996 as a response to the desires of shooters worldwide. The 
           organization now boasts membership of more than 11,000 including members in 19 foreign countries.
 
           One of the unique facets of this sports is that it is geared toward the new or average shooter, yet is fun,
           Challenging and rewarding for the experienced shooter. The founders developed the sport so that
           practical guns may be used competitively. An interested person can spend a minimal amount on
           equipment and still be competitive. The main goal is to test the skill and ability of the individual, not
           equipment or gamesmanship. "Competition only" equipment is not permitted in this sport.
 
           The firearms are grouped into five (5) divisions:
           1. Custom Defensive Pistol (.45ACP semi-automatics only)
           2. Enchanced Service Pistol (9mm (9x19) or larger caliber semi-automatics)
           3. Stock Service Pistol (9mm (9x19) or larger caliber double action, double action only, or safe
               action semi-automatics)
           4. Enhanced Service Revolver (.38 caliber or larger double action revolvers)
           5. Stock Service Revolver (.38 caliber or larger double action revolvers)
 
           See Appendix One - Equipement for delineations in the revolver divisions. Shooters are then
           classed by like-skill levels with progession from Novice (NV); to Marksman (MM); to Sharpshooter
           (SS); to Expert (EX); and finally to Master (MA).
 
            Please visit the website (http://www.idpa-singapore.com) for more information.           
 
 
In the spirit of competition and good sportsmanship, these Championships are open to all competitors who are members or affiliate members of their respective National Shooting Association, Home Team Agencies, Auxiliary Polices and Defence Armed Forces.

The Singapore Shooting Association is looking forward to having you join in the shooting camaraderie with local and overseas competitors.
