As previously mentioned here and on the podcast, USPSA is sponsoring two IPSC RO Seminars. These seminars will be held at two different venues: Rio Salado Sportsman’s Club, on May 3rd and 4th, and at Hyatt Place Hotel, Columbus, Ohio, just prior to the USPSA IPSC Nationals on August 16th and 17th. Cost for the seminars will be $100.00 payable in advance by credit card using the Practiscore registration links below.

We are currently working toward offering two IPSC RO seminars in 2025. Projected venues for these are Rio Salado in Phoenix, and Cardinal Shooting Center in Marengo, Ohio. An IPSC instructor will conduct these in order to give the RMI corps a better understanding of the differences in training and rules that we need to concentrate on.

New rules recently approved by the USPSA Board of Directors allow for the use of digital evidence, i.e, video, photo, audio, even information from apps such as the PractiScore competitor app, to appeal a call. Competitors can appeal procedural penalties and disqualifications using digital evidence.

Just a reminder about the USPSA Certified Ammunition Program, and what should be happening at matches where people are using certified ammo. Level II and III are where you’ll see it, but it can be used at Level I if there is a chrono station.

With the 2024 shooting season coming to a close, and the 2025 season not warming up yet (see, because it’s winter, and cold, “not warming up yet”), I thought it might be helpful in planning to publish some information on USPSA’s Certified Ammunition Program.

Since the shooting season is wrapping up, and the Holidays are upon us, I thought I’d take a moment and wrap up some of the NROI activities from this past busy year.

In the September/October issue of USPSA Magazine, a paragraph in my column noted that a certain type of “chassis conversion” of a handgun to a PCC wasn’t legal. The USPSA Board of Directors disagreed with this decision, and I notified the competitors in question that their particular conversion was legal to use in the PCC division. The article was written and submitted in advance of the discussion and subsequent decision by the board. There was no ruling issued stating that they were illegal in PCC Division. I regret any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused.
