Dynamic discipline covering multiple firearm categories (handgun, rifle, shotgun, Action Air).
The International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) is the world's largest shooting sport association within practical shooting. Founded in May 1976 in Missouri, USA, with Jeff Cooper as the first president.
The sport originated in California in the 1950s, initially for developing defensive handgun skills, but quickly evolved into a pure sport. The IPSC motto is: Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas (DVC) – Latin for "accuracy, power, speed".
Today, over 100 active IPSC regions operate worldwide. Competitors shoot with pistols, rifles, and shotguns across various divisions.
