IHMSA
The IHMSA organization started in
1976 with the purpose of promoting handgun silhouette competition. The
object of the competition is to knock down metallic silhouettes
(chickens, pigs, turkeys and rams) at various ranges to a maximum of
200 meters. The sport has spread to many countries and matches are
shot all over the USA. Many different types of matches are shot and
there is always one to suit any member of the family. The matches vary
according to handgun type (.22 to big bore) and shooting position
(standing to free style). We pride ourselves in our diversity as IHMSA
is open to men, women and children of all ages and physical abilities.
If you are physically challenged and interested in shooting, we have a
PC committee willing to meet your needs.
