The Match:
The sport of Practical Pistol Shooting is exciting and challenging as well as being one of the fastest growing shooting sports in the world. Courses of fire utilise many aspects not found in the other more traditional shooting disciplines such as movement by the shooter, drawing from the holster, moving targets, multiple targets and the freedom for the shooter to solve the shooting problems presented by the stage design.
The growing appeal of this sport lies in the diversity of its courses of fire, by offering different courses of fire, rather than set types, practical shooting continues to offer the competitors the opportunity to improve their skills in many different areas.
There is always something new and different to challenge the practical shooting enthusiast.
IPSC shooting matches are based on the principle of accuracy, power and speed. The matches are varied with emphasis on the safe use of handguns. Participation in these matches will develop a high degree of safety and proficiency in the use of handguns as well as providing a great means of recreation.
As with many other popular sports you will find people from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds at an IPSC shooting match. Our membership includes just about any occupation you can name from craftsmen to professionals. IPSC is also fortunate to have many women involved in its shooting programs.
It is not unusual to find husbands and wives or families participating in practical shooting activities. All participants at IPSC competitions are well trained advocates of safe gun handling and believe in good sportsmanship. All members of IPSC currently competing were once at the beginner stage. By becoming active in matches hosted by IPSC Clubs you will have the advantage of being advised by qualified range officials and range staff.
