USPSA/IPSC Rules Archive - The Way Things Were...


ChuckS

Recommended Posts

When I first started our sport, I heard folks citing rules that were not in our current rule book. I started to research this and wound up collecting digital versions of previous rulebooks for IPSC/USPSA. There also was a gentleman on the Global Village that was doing the same so I helped him fill in what he was missing and he did the same for me. 

 

Disclaimers: These documents may not be the official releases of their day. The sources are unconfirmed. I performed OCR on the early versions and it may not be the best but for the most part, these documents are searchable. I have not, and will not attempt to capture snapshots of our current "evergreen" rule book. That is left to the individual.

 

For the current state of affairs, follow these links:

 

https://www.ipsc.org/

https://uspsa.org/rules

https://uspsa.org/nroi/rulings

https://uspsa.org/bod_minutes <Interesting if you want to do forensic analysis on rule evolution>

 

I hope you get some enjoyment out of exploring the path from 4 pages to what we have now... 

 

Later,

ChuckS
