World Championship Training - BiPod Edition

Published on July 28, 2019
Duration: 4:08

This video demonstrates a training drill for the World IPSC Championships, focusing on the 'Old Man Division' which allows for extensive optics and bipod use. The drill simulates a 'dry start' scenario, requiring the competitor to load, charge, and engage targets from various positions, including a precision shot from a biped-supported kneeling position and subsequent engagements with a red dot and magnified optic. Emphasis is placed on speed, precision, and efficient transitions between optics and shooting positions.

Quick Summary

IPSC competition scoring utilizes target zones (A, C, D) and ammunition power factors (major/minor). The C zone scores 3 points for minor caliber, while the D zone is 1 point. Accuracy within the A and C zones is critical. The 'Old Man Division' permits multiple optics and unlimited magazine capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Old Man Division' in IPSC shooting?

The 'Old Man Division' in IPSC competition allows for extensive use of optics, including multiple sights, and removes restrictions on magazine capacity. This division is designed to accommodate competitors who may benefit from enhanced equipment, such as those with visual impairments.

How does IPSC scoring work with different target zones and calibers?

IPSC scoring uses target zones: A, C, and D. Shots in the C zone are worth 3 points for minor caliber ammunition, while the D zone is worth 1 point. The power factor of the ammunition (major or minor) influences scoring, making accuracy within the A and C zones crucial for high scores.

What is the advantage of using a quick disconnect bipod in competition?

A quick disconnect bipod provides significant tactical flexibility. It allows a shooter to rapidly attach or detach the bipod, enabling faster transitions between shooting positions, easier movement through stages, and the ability to stow the bipod when it's not needed for a particular engagement.

Describe a typical 'dry start' drill in IPSC training.

A 'dry start' drill in IPSC begins with an empty rifle, typically positioned parallel to the ground at belt level. On a timer, the competitor must charge the rifle, assume a shooting position (like taking a knee), make a precision shot, and then transition to engaging other targets.
