Ok im brand new to pistol shooting and know next to nothing about the 'circuit' .
Apart from shooting the random pistols the ol' man had when i was growing up!

What would be the ideal pistol and calibre for match shooting?

Where are the competitions held ?

And what is the format for the competitions i.e distance,how many shots, target size etc ?

sorry if this is a well used question?

thanks for any replies !
