About USPSA
The United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) is the national governing body of practical shooting in the United States under the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC). Our over 35,000 active members and over 500 affiliated clubs make USPSA the largest practical shooting organization in the United States.
USPSA scoring is based on the competitors' ability to engage paper and steel targets on their time, accuracy and the caliber of ammunition used. New and seasoned competitors are always welcome to participate at ASC USPSA. One thing that sets USPSA apart from other shooting sports is the classification system. You can see where you rank among the best shooters in the world and track your own improvement as you progress through the sport. If you are interested in watching a match before you compete you are welcome to come and watch.
Becoming a USPSA member does not include local range and club fees. You will be allowed to compete at ASC USPSA even if you don’t belong to ASC or USPSA. However, to track your classification in this sport, start your membership at USPSA.org. After receiving your USPSA membership number, you can sign up for ASC USPSA matches through PRACTISCORE.com
