USPSA as a sport was born in 1976 from a collection of combat shooting matches around the world. Today, we are approximately 39,000 members strong. We have more than 730 affiliated clubs where you can test your skill on an unlimited number of courses of fire with many different types of guns in our nine USPSA sports divisions, plus our USPSA multi-gun divisions and Steel Challenge. We have the fastest and safest shooting sport in the world, with something for everyone.
One thing that sets us apart from the others is our 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 system.
