International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) is a shooting sport based on the concept of practical shooting. Accuracy, power and speed are all required to achieve a maximum score.

IPSC was founded at a conference held in Columbia, Missouri, in May of 1976. Practical shooting enthusiasts from around the world participated, creating a constitution and establishing the rules governing the sport. Jeff Cooper served as the first IPSC President.

While IPSC is an international organization, countries have their own organizations under the IPSC umbrella. In the United States, this is the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA).

Starting in 1975, IPSC holds the World Shoot (now held every three years). The winner of each World Shoot are:

  • Ray Chapman (USA) - 1975 World Shoot I Zurich, Switzerland
