About IPSC Jamaica

The Jamaica Rifle Association (JRA) is the regional directorate of IPSC in Jamaica since 1996, when Jamaica was first accepted as an IPSC region and fielded a team to the IPSC World Shoot in Brazil.

The JRA was first established in 1896, promoting the sport of target shooting in Jamaica. While its roots are in rifle shooting, the JRA has a strong tradition of pistol shooting competition within the Caribbean. In addition to IPSC, the JRA is the recognized national organization for the shooting sports in Jamaica, and is also affiliated with the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA), the International Confederation of Fullbore Rifle Associations (ICFRA), the National Rifle Association (Great Britain) and the International Sport Shooting Federation (ISSF). The shooting sports of the Commonwealth Games were first held at the 1966 games in Jamaica, at the facility now used as the JRA headquarters in Kingston.

What is Practical Shooting?

Practical Shooting is exciting, challenging and one of the fastest growing shooting sports in the World. Courses of fire involve many aspects not found in other shooting disciplines, such as movement by the shooter, drawing from the holster, moving targets, multiple targets and freedom for the shooter to solve problems presented by the course design.

What makes Practical Shooting unique?

The appeal of the sport lies in the diversity of the courses of fireavailable to the shooter, with ranges from 3 to 50 yards. By offering many different courses of fire, practical shooting continues to challenge competitors to improve their skills in many areas. There’s always something new and unique to challenge the practical pistol shooter.
