The discipline of Practical Shooting has experienced great growth in recent years and more top athletes raise to the podium in every competition.
 
To explore and study new developments, a scientific research laboratory will be opened at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Department of Physical Education and Sport Science to study different aspects of physical psychological and mental training, nutrition as well as to gather material and conduct research together with the scientists from other universities.
 
The developments and findings will be widely shared with other institutions within our IPSC Regions for the betterment of Practical Shooting.

The [Guam] National Range Officers Institute, an ancillary of the Marianas Practical Shooting Association (MPSA), graduated ten Range Officers under the guidance of the International Range Officers Association.
