IPSC Competition Shooting Supplies: The Complete Guide

Online shopping for shooting supplies has never been easier. IPSC stands for International Practical Shooting Confederation and is the main international governing body for the sport of practical shooting. Founded in 1976, IPSC oversees competitive practical shooting worldwide, with member federations in over 100 countries.

Practical shooting is a dynamic and challenging sport that tests the shooter's ability to accurately and quickly engage targets while moving through a course. There are three main divisions in the IPSC competition: handgun, shotgun, and rifle. You can buy these accessories by navigating this website.

Handgun division is further divided into Standard Division and Open Division. Standard Division shooters use pistols chambered for 9mm Luger or .38 Super, while Open Division shooters may use any caliber pistol.

The shotgun division is divided into two sub-divisions: Pump Action Shotgun (PAS) and Semi-Automatic Shotgun (SAS). PAS shooters use pump-action shotguns while SAS shooters use semi-automatic shotguns.

Rifle division is also divided into two sub-divisions: Semi-Automatic Rifle (SAR) and Bolt Action Rifle (BAR). SAR shooters use semi-automatic rifles while BAR shooters use bolt action rifles.

Competitors in all divisions are required to wear eye and ear protection when on the range. In addition, Standard and Open Division competitors must also wear a holster that covers the trigger guard of their pistol.
