What is Defensive Pistol Shooting?

Defensive pistol shooting as a sport is quite simply the use of practical equipment including full charge service ammunition to solve simulated "real world" self-defense scenarios. Shooters competing in Defensive Pistol events are required to use practical handguns and holsters that are truly suitable for self-defense use. No "competition only" equipment is permitted in Defensive Pistol matches since the main goal is to test the skill and ability of an individual, not his or her equipment or gamesmanship.

What is IPSC?

IPSC-style shooting has evolved from its martial origins in the much the same manner as have track and field, karate, fencing, archery, and similar" martial arts." IPSC shooting is now an international sport, with its focus on safety and safe gun handling, accuracy, power, and speed, in events that range from local matches to major competitions.

What is Cowboy Action Shooting?

Cowboy Action Shooting is a multi-faceted shooting sport in which contestants compete with firearms typical of those used in the taming of the Old West era of 1865 to 1895: single action revolvers, pistol caliber lever action rifles and double barreled side by side, or pre-1899 pump or lever action shotguns.
