USPSA stands for United States Practical Shooting Association. It is a member of IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation). There are more than 30,000 active members and over 400 active clubs across the country. USPSA focuses on Accuracy, Power, and Speed (“Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas” or DVC). We test those skills by presenting targets at different distances, arrangements, and requiring movement to complete a course of fire. The focus of USPSA competition has always been to push the envelope of shooting techniques and technologies.

USPSA currently recognizes eight divisions that encompasses virtually any pistol, and there is even a division for pistol caliber carbines (PCC). Competitors are divided into division by the firearm and other related equipment they use, so that everyone can compete on an even field. We further divide competitors into classifications, designed to approximate skill or experience level, to help you better understand your own performance.
