IPSC Divisions/Rules

f45247698f4b10e20d35064cfe4e7717There are 6 divisions which you can compete in IPSC.  Each division represents specific rules, firearms and limitations upon which you are required to adhere to.

  • Production
  • Production Optic
  • Standard
  • Open
  • Classic
  • Revolver

Most divisions (exception is Production) also allow you to compete shooting Major loads, or Minor loads.  There is a requirement to meet a certain minimum Power Factor in order to qualify for shooting the Minor or the Major loads.  The advantage of shooting a Major load is that you get more points for the C and D zones on the target.  This is because the assumption is that the larger recoil is harder to control.  Will it pay off?  Well that’s for you to find out!
