2025 Shooting Season is Here!

Dear IPSC members and friends,

It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you all to a new year of dynamic shooting — the IPSC Shooting Season 2025 is now officially open!
This year, our calendar is brimming with thrilling opportunities: four major Continental and World Championships, along with hundreds of Level III matches taking place across all Regions of the globe. These events reflect the strength and passion of our community. I encourage every athlete, from our seasoned champions to our rising stars, to train with discipline, dry fire regularly, and compete in as many matches as possible.

No matter your age, background, or local weather conditions — your enthusiasm and skill continue to impress and inspire us all. I greatly look forward to seeing you in action, demonstrating the true spirit of IPSC.

Let us take a moment to extend our deepest gratitude to those who make our sport possible: our dedicated Range Officers, some of whom have selflessly supported IPSC
for over 40 years as the backbone of our competitions.
We also recognize the tireless efforts of Instructors, Trainers, and Coaches who invest in developing our Juniors and Super Juniors — the future of Practical Shooting!
To the family members, Sponsors, Partners, Patrons, and countless volunteers: your unwavering support and commitment to IPSC do not go unnoticed. You are all an essential part of our global family, and we thank you sincerely.

IPSC has grown into a truly global sport, widely recognized and deeply respected. We continue to set an example of safe, responsible, and skilled firearm handling — becoming a role model for what it means to be both an athlete and a responsible firearms owner.
With every passing year, we take one more step toward Olympic recognition, and we must remain united and focused on this shared goal.

As we step into this exciting 2025 season, I encourage you all to strive for excellence, push your limits, and most importantly, enjoy every moment. Compete with honor, support one another, and carry forward the values that define IPSC.

I wish you all a successful, fulfilling, and memorable season.

Thank you, and good luck to all!

Yours sincerely,
