You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Since most Airsofters are unfamiliar with Practical Shooting I thought it may be a good idea to show you what it's all about. This sport isn't very popular here in the USA, but it is very common in places where airsoft guns originate like Japan and Hong Kong. We would really like to see this form of shooting grow to proportions similar to that of which it is in JP and HK.

There are a few different forms of target and practical shooting. From IPSC, IDPA, Bianchi Cup, Steel Challenge and more...

Instead of reconstructing what others have done I've decided to post links to the most popular forms of shooting that interest us.

Here we are mostly focused on the 4 styles mentioned above. With a main focus of IPSC style.

Here you will find practical shooting links to give you an idea of what we are trying to emulate.

There is also USAPSA. http://www.usapsa.org/

They asked me last year if I want to help run the org. I don't have time for it right now. Maybe when I'm done with all the Projects with KWA.
USAPSA seems like they haven't been active for quite some time. I would love it if Mad Bull continued with promoting USAPSA. They still have the logos and website printed on their products (ie. stop plate timer and poppers).

Thanks allizard - I added USAPSA to the link list.
BTW, if you guys want a speed timer. Let me know, I have an account with Jagprecision.
