what makes practical shooting unique?
IPSC shooting competitions present varied degrees of difficulty. No shooting challenge or time limit may be protested as being prohibitive. Specific requirements for non-shooting challenges should reasonably allow for differences in competitor’s height and physical build.
THE BEST MATCH OFFICIALS IN THE WORLD
IROA certifies that IPSC Range Officers are the best trained, the best qualified and best prepared to ensure a uniform worldwide standard for all competitions.
IPSC IS ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE SHOOTING SPORTS IN THE WORLD

The IPSC Match Calendar Year averages 360+ Level III Matches (large Regional match) in 105 country members, called Regions, all around the world. We have more than 200k active members and 1.4+ million of rounds are shot in average in a global competition, known as World Shoot.
the best athletes in the shooting world!
The value of IPSC shooting competition is determined by the quality of the challenge presented in the course design. Courses of fire are designed primarily to test a competitor’s IPSC shooting skills, and not their physical strength or gymnastic abilities.
