PATRICK BACULARD
Patrick Baculard a découvert le tir sportif en 1980, lorsqu'il a pris en main une carabine à air comprimé en compagnie de son père. Ce fut le début d'une passion de toute une vie, qui dure encore aujourd'hui. Après avoir maîtrisé la carabine à air comprimé, il est passé à la carabine de petit calibre (.22 lfB). Lors d'une promenade dans les montagnes du Vaucluse, il est tombé tout à fait par hasard sur le tir IPSC et s'est tout de suite passionné pour ce sport. Il a commencé à tirer en 1993 dans la division IPSC Open et s'est rapidement retrouvé sur la scène mondiale, participant à des championnats en Afrique du Sud, en Équateur, en Grèce et en Floride.
