USPSA is a non-profit
membership association. Most of the more than 15,000
individual members belong to and regularly compete at one of
the nearly 400 affiliated clubs and sections (groups of
clubs banded together for mutual benefit) located across the
United States. |

Practical Shooting attempts to measure the ability to
shoot rapidly and accurately with a full power handgun, rifle,
and/or shotgun. Those three elements - speed, accuracy, and power -
form the three sides of the practical shooting triangle. By design,
each match will measure a shooter's ability in all three areas. |
|
To do this,
shooters take on obstacle-laden shooting courses (called stages)
requiring anywhere from 6 to 30+ shots to complete. The scoring
system measures points scored per second, then weights the score to
compensate for the number of shots fired. If they miss a target, or
shoot inaccurately, points are deducted, lowering that all-important
points-per-second score. |
|
If shooting has
an "extreme" sport, USPSA-sanctioned practical shooting is it.
Competitors move, negotiate obstacles, run, speed-reload, and drive
their guns through each of several courses as fast as their skills
will allow. Although most matches are held outdoors, in all weather,
further taxing competitor skill, there are a growing number of
indoor ranges conducting USPSA events. |
