The United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) is the national governing body for the sport of Practical Shooting in America. USPSA recognizes all the shooting disciplines - Handgun, Rifle and Shotgun. Multiple targets, moving targets, targets that react when hit, penalty targets, partially covered targets, obstacles, movement, competitive strategies, and other techniques are all a part of USPSA to keep shooters challenged and spectators engaged. Manufacturers such as Glock, Smith and Wesson, STI, Springfield Armory, Sig Sauer, H&K, Remington and Taurus - just to name a few -- are well represented in USPSA. In fact, you probably already own everything you need to participate in a USPSA match! Visit USPSA.org to find out more!
As a current steel challenge competitor who watched this a few years ago, that statement always irritated me. Going to debut my ISR division with a 500sw magnum (down loaded custom wadcutters of course) just to irritate people like that. Also plan in getting into GM in PCCI with a hipoint. Also just because.
@@RobertSmith-fd7ke I've heard of it. Probably have to have an account, username, password, etc. It doesn't matter. Everything is so restricted where I live I couldn't compete even if I had the time and money. Thanks anyhow.
@@RobertSmith-fd7ke Very kind. Just don't have the time and money to devote to it. Don't want to show up and take a beating from someone that shoots every weekend.
Ah yes USPSA were skill only counts by how much money you’re willing to spend. If you can afford major power factor (comped and weighted 40s&w) you’re already in the top 100. Can’t tell you how many times I lost to some body with a major gun even though I was more accurate and faster
You should go to one. Then you can speak about what you know instead of what you don't. We went to a shoot last year with over 300 people shooting pistols and rifles. There wasn't a single injury. Not one accident or mishap of any kind.
they take safety as the #1 priority. nobody has a gun loaded until they are shooting the stage and they must show clear before they step out of the stage. if you break 180, which means you point your muzzle at anything behind you, you are DQ'd and can't finish the match. if you have an accidental discharge you are DQ'd and can't finish the match. basically if you do anything to break safety rules you will be DQ'd from competing. this is far safer than going to your average range with a bunch of random people who don't pay attention.
Oh my dear god, the second shooter needs to familiarize herself with the firearms. You don’t shake a gun to clear a malfunction, drop the mag, pull the charging handle to the rear, if the round is stuck, reseat the bolt and attempt to eject it again, if it still in there, start fishing. Is she a pro?
What I find amazing about speed shooters is claiming they're watching their sights, DOT, front sight etc... I simply find that hard to believe. They shoot so fast that I suspect they're simply indexing on the target and pulling the trigger. How can there be anytime to acquire sight picture and POA in less than a second? Just asking...
We are finding the front sight/dot or we aren’t hitting the targets. It’s hard to believe people can pick up the sight as quick as they do, but they do
I've never even thought about looking at kids sports with pistols and rifles. This has got to PO so many people that it just makes my day. When you teach the children how to handle a firearm the firearm is not a danger to anyone. She's one lucky kid and an excellent Marksman. Great video!
USPSA’s education is limited to how to renew and RO information. Nothing about getting shooters into the sport and to their first match? Put some effort into that so is RO’s have an easier time with noobs at their first match.
So u can shoot a stock, rimfire pistol and rifle? I've been wanting to shoot rimfire with my younger kid and thought u had to use 9mm in steel challenge events?
@@patrickgjorven7832 we did a rimfire challenge with .22lr stock firearms. We had a pretty good time (takes too long for everyone to shoot, and there was a lot of downtime, though)
