Welcome to the website for
Front Sight magazine, the official newsletter of the United States Practical Shooting Association (
USPSA) and the foremost practical shooting publication in the world.
Front Sight tracks the events, people, and equipment that dominate the highly competitive world of practical shooting competition (
IPSC type).
Front Sight serves
USPSA members in all 50 U.S. states and more than 30 nations.
Our readership of local and national athletes includes the decision-makers for police departments, local shooting clubs, and various military organizations. USPSA shooters each consume thousands of rounds of centerfire ammunition annually, and are regularly tapped by the top military and police organizations to provide practical firearm training. Our sport has redefined the guns, techniques, and targets used by those organizations, greatly enhancing their effectiveness.
Historically, and today, our membership rolls read like a "who’s who" of tactical shooting. The organization can point to Jeff Cooper, Ray Chapman, Brian Enos, and Rob Leatham as distinguished members.
Front Sight focuses on the U.S. market, but recent international coverage includes features on World Shoot XIV (in Guayaquil, Ecuador), the Pan-American Championship, and a shotgun championship in Bali.
We’re not a general-interest publication, but if you’re looking for practical shooting coverage with more depth than the “9mm versus .45 ACP” arguments found in general-interest gun magazines, you’ll be thrilled with
Front Sight.

IN SEARCH OF: Front Sight Prowls SHOT 2008
At one time I used to tell people that you could see SHOT in two days.
This year I spent three-and-a-half days walking up one aisle and down the other – spending the other half-day on specific photo and PR missions. Folks, it’s huge. Knowing I wouldn’t see everything, I enlisted James Tarr and some other volunteers to help me scan the aisles, hoping to get a good read on what’s new, and more importantly, what’s relevant to USPSA for the coming year.
Read about what we found HERE.
