IPSC PISTOL

The Latin words Diligentia, Vis, and Celeritas (DVC), meaning accuracy, power, and speed, are IPSC's motto and form the foundation for competition. IPSC also emphasizes procedures for safe gun handling and strict adherence to the rules governing the sport.

IPSC shooters must blend accuracy, power, and speed into a winning combination. Multiple targets, moving targets, targets that react when hit, penalty targets, or even partially covered targets, obstacles, movement, competitive strategies, and other techniques are all a part of IPSC to keep shooters challenged and spectators engaged.

IPSC targets have a 15-centimetre centre representing the "A zone" or bullseye. Most shooting occurs at relatively close distances, with rare shots of up to 30 meters. Hitting a 15-centimeter zone might seem easy to an experienced pistol shooter, but in IPSC, only full-power handguns (9mm or larger) are used.

In IPSC shooting, no course of fire is ever the same from one competition to the next. Diversity is encouraged to keep the sport from becoming too formalized or standardized, and typically, competitors do not know in advance what to expect in any match.

We shoot most Saturdays at 1 pm on Range 1, with holster-qualified shooters also able to shoot on Range 1 on Sundays from 1pm .
