Patrick Baculard ha scoperto lo sport del tiro a segno nel 1980, quando ha imbracciato un fucile ad aria compressa in compagnia del padre. È stato l'inizio di una passione che dura tutta la vita e che continua ancora oggi. Dopo aver imparato a usare la carabina ad aria compressa, è passato al fucile di piccolo calibro (.22 lfB). Durante una passeggiata sulle montagne del Vaucluse, si imbatte per caso nel tiro IPSC e si appassiona immediatamente a questo sport. Nel 1993 ha iniziato a sparare nella divisione Open dell'IPSC e ben presto si è trovato sulla scena mondiale, partecipando a campionati in Sudafrica, Ecuador, Grecia e Florida.
