IPSC Background

Until 1999 I didn?t know anything about guns and I had never been at a shooting range.
In late 1999 I got my carry permit (in Italy the police can issue such a permit only to people who need it for self defense at work); therefore I inevitably and logically wanted to know how a gun should be used, because from then on I would have always carried a gun.

Some friends of mine suggested me to attend a practical shooting course (livello bronzo); I did it only to get some basic skills with the pistol and to become a little less clumsy with it. One Sunday, I had nothing to do at all, I was convinced by some other friends to watch a IPSC match. I liked it a lot and so I started to shoot matches myself; the first year I shot in Standard Division and since then in Open Division.
