FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

IPSC SHOTGUN WORLD SHOOT III 2018 CLOSES: MEDALS AND RECORDS

The International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) Shotgun World Shoot

III 2018 came to an end on June 10, 2018 in France, when the glorious awards
ceremony took place in the Hall des Expositions de Belle-Isles in Chateauroux. The
IPSC Shotgun World Championship, the third one of this discipline, was organised
from May 28 to June 10 by the French Shooting Federation on its brand new shooting
range (CNTS) in Chateauroux-Deols.
“France has always had a long and important tradition in IPSC going as far back as the
very early beginnings of IPSC shooting. Under the supervision and guidance of Mr Philippe
Crochard and Mr Alain Joly IPSC shooting in France has always been known for the high
degree of competition, superb courses of fire, flawless organization, and unequalled
hospitality. In 2018, like last year, Mr Stephane Quertinier the Regional Director and his very
good crew once again have provided a wonderful and exciting competition. I would like to
extend my appreciation and gratitude to these gentlemen and to the French Shooting
Federation who are responsible for hosting this World Shoot event”, said IPSC President Mr
Vitaly Kryuchin.
For two weeks, 656 athletes from 40 countries competed in the 30 shooting bays of
the National Sports Shooting Centre. They were divided into five categories - Lady, Junior,
Overall, Senior and Super-Senior within four different divisions, depending on the type of
firearm used: Open, Standard, Standard Manual and Modified.
The theme of the competition was “From Big Bang to Space Conquest”. Each of the
five areas of shooting correspond with a period from the evolution of humanity and included
six courses of fire.
The IPSC Shotgun World Shoot 2018 was supervised by more than sixty international
referees (IROA) and by fifty national referees (NROI), respectively overseen by the Range
Master José Carlos Belino (Brazil), and his assistant Christophe Desfrançois (France).

IPSC Shotgun was born over 30 years ago and offers spectacular shooting challenges. Several types of
courses are used: short (up to 12 scoring hits), medium (up to 24 scoring hits) and long (up to 32 scoring hits)
with various shooting distances. Targets are made of paper, clay or metal and can be fixed, mobile or have a
cycle of appearance / disappearance. Practical Shooting requires great dexterity in the handling of firearms and
also requires strict compliance with safety rules, under penalty of disqualification. Internationally, this discipline is
administered by the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC).

The International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) was founded in 1976 as a shooting sport
and today recognizes all the main shooting disciplines - Handgun, Rifle, Shotgun, and Action Air. The Latin words
Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas (DVC) meaning accuracy, power, and speed are IPSC’s motto and form the foundation
for competition. IPSC also emphasizes procedures for safe gun handling and strict adherence to the rules
governing the sport. In IPSC courses of fire the results are calculated by dividing the competitor’s target score by
the time taken to complete the course of fire. The shooter must be the most accurate and fastest to win. Courses
of fire utilize many aspects not found in the more traditional shooting disciplines such as movement by the
shooter, moving targets, multiple targets, and the freedom for the shooter to solve the shooting challenges
presented in the courses of fire. In practical shooting the competitor shoots at multiple targets from multiple
distances on time. Therefore, competitions are very exciting for competitors and interesting for spectators. 105
countries (IPSC Regions) are members of the Confederation and actively organize IPSC Matches. The number
of active IPSC competitors worldwide exceeded 200,000 in 2017 with 351 IPSC national and international
sanctioned matches held.
