USPSA Matches are held on the 1st Sunday of each month at CAGC. Setup begins at 8:00, signup begins at 9:30, and the match starts at 10:00 (unless rescheduled for Easter, the 4th, Labor Day, etc.). Practical Shooting attempts to measure the ability to shoot rapidly and accurately with a full power handgun, rifle, and/or shotgun. 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 five handgun divisions, each defined by the equipment used.
Go to Getting Started or to the Rulebook 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. 2005 Annual Issue of Front Sight Magazine (3.7mb pdf) USPSA Handgun Rulebook (1.4mb pdf) |
