One of the shooting disciplines that is practiced at the Levin Pistol Club is IPSC. IPSC stands for International Practical Shooting Confederation. It is an action style of shooting where the competitors have to move between multiple targets in what is referred to as a ‘course of fire’. The ‘course of fire’ will be designed on the day. It can include multiple targets which the shooter must hit, penalty targets which the shooter must not hit, moving targets, targets that react when they are hit, and various obstacles that the shooter must move around as they are shooting. Obstacles may include doors and windows that must be opened in order to see the target as well as simple obstructions (like barrels) that the shooter must move around.

To be proficient, the IPSC shooter needs to blend accuracy, power, and speed as well as not violating any of the safety rules.

A massive amount of IPSC training is focused on safety and discipline. The ability to compete in this discipline is built on top of the shooter’s ability to pedantically observing all basic safety requirements at every stage of the competition. This means that IPSC is a discipline shooters do not get involved with until after they have a good grounding in basic training.

The Levin Pistol Club involvement with IPSC focuses on the usage of handguns only.
