Practical pistol shooting is an action-packed shooting sport combining speed, accuracy, and tactics. Matches include a mix of speed shoots and field courses. Safe gun handling is stressed, with all rules of the Handbook of the USPSA fairly enforced. We recommend that interested shooters come to watch a match before participating. Do not hesitate to ask the Match Director for assistance. You will find that IPSC shooters are helpful, and are happy to help a beginning shooter. All that is required to compete is a suitable pistol or revolver of .38 (9mm) caliber or larger, a safe, legal holster and belt, magazine or speedloader pouches, and at least five magazines or speedloaders. Most matches require between 75-200 rounds of ammunition. Safety eyewear and hearing protection is mandatory for both shooters and spectators. Come and try it, Practical Shooting is a lot of fun!
