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 best athletes in the shooting world!
