Founding and Organization
IPSC was founded at a conference held in Columbia, Missouri, in May 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. For example, this is the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) in the United States, and United Kingdom Practical Shooting Association (UKPSA) in the United Kingdom.
