IPSC regions
Regions (countries) are the organizations which promote the sport of IPSC and are the representatives of IPSC. All IPSC athletes become members of the IPSC by joining their affiliated Region.
match calendar
IPSC matches are submitted by IPSC Regions and properly sanctioned.
Once a match is approved and sanctioned it will get displayed on the global Match Calendar (Level III, IV and V Matches).
competitions
IPSC matches are based on the principles of accuracy, power and speed. Participation in these matches will develop a high degree of safety and proficiency, as well as providing an exciting means of recreation.
results
Match Results for sanctioned Level III and up matches are posted on the Results page. Results will appear within 2 weeks after the match is completed and are easily searched by name and stored by year.
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

worldwide competitions
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.

ANTI-DOPING AND PRACTICAL SHOOTING
IPSC officially became WADA Code Signatory in June 2021.
By committing to WADA’s core fundamentals of maintaining a “Clean Sport”, IPSC implements strict testing and safeguards in order to avoid the use of any Prohibited Substance and/or athletic enhancement methods that are against the World Anti-Doping Code, International Standards and related documents as well as principles of fair play, and competitors are required to adhere and follow all requirements and procedures to ensure Practical Shooting stays clean and safe.
ACCREDITATION FOR INSTRUCTORS
The Main International Shooting Instructors Association (MISIA) was created to establish an international structure for the accreditation, recognition and maintenance of shooting instructors. It ensures that IPSC instructors are the best trained and qualified to implement a uniform worldwide standard for training IPSC sports shooters.
MISIA instructors and trainers are the ambassadors who bring our culture of safe gun handling to the attention of the whole shooting world.
