I am happy to share this from the latest Pioneer newsletter:
USPSA
BIG NEWS: The United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) Discipline was unanimously approved by the BOD at the January meeting. The club will host five matches in 2016 on the following dates:
Sunday, April 24th
Saturday, May 28th (Classifier Match)
Sunday, July 3rd
Saturday, September 10th
Sunday, October 23rd
This means that the club will now be holding events in all of ‘the big three’ action shooting sports (IDPA, Steel Challenge, and USPSA).
For those not familiar with USPSA, it was formed by Jeff Cooper in the 1970’s. Many of the competition/safety rules used for both Steel Challenge and IDPA were developed during the early years of USPSA. As far as equipment is concerned, if someone is currently shooting in IDPA’s Stock Service Division, they would more than likely be able to use the same gear in USPSA’s Production Division.
David Bold is our USPSA Area Director, and he’s offered to help us in any way that he can with our program. We’ve also heard from our North East Section Coordinator, Dan Hurley, and he "can’t wait to shoot one of our matches."
Most importantly, we’ve received a huge amount of support from our club membership! As most people who participate in the shooting sports know, it takes a dedicated group of volunteers to run any of our discipline programs, and Pioneer is very lucky in this regard.
If you have any questions, or would like to get involved with what we’re doing, please feel free to get in touch with us.
