Practical Shooting attempts to measure the ability to shoot rapidly and accurately. Those three elements - speed, accuracy, and power - form the three sides of the practical shooting triangle. By design, each match will measure a shooter's ability in all three areas. Competitors move, negotiate obstacles, run, speed-reload, and drive their guns through each of several courses as fast as their skills will allow.
There are seven handgun divisions and one pistol caliber carbine division, each defined by the equipment used.
- Single Stack
- Open
- Limited
- Limited Optics
- Limited-10
- Production
- Revolver
- Pistol Caliber Carbine
- Carry Optics
Go to uspsa.org for more information about the requirements of each division.
Since USPSA stages usually have a higher round count, you will need 3-4 magazines on your belt. You will only compete against those with like equipment.
