In light of the current social media buzz concerning certain firearms, the USPSA BOD and NROI have received numerous emails concerning prohibiting said firearms. Here’s the thing: If the range, not the USPSA or SCSA club, has its own policies or rules, the USPSA/SCSA club must comply with them, as long as the range and USPSA club are not the same entity, i.e., share the same administrative personnel. These range-specific rules cannot be enforced by USPSA or NROI certified range officials acting in their official capacity.

As previously mentioned here and on the podcast, USPSA is sponsoring two IPSC RO Seminars.

Cost for the seminars will be $100.00 payable in advance by credit card using the Practiscore registration links below.

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.
