International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) Handgun World Shoot XVII may still be more than 20 months away, but preparations are well underway to host competitors from around the world October 7-19, 2014. The Handgun World Shoot is the largest event conducted by the IPSC and only occurs every three years. The most recent World Shoot event, World Shoot XVI, was held in Rhodes, Greece, and previous World Shoot events were held in Indonesia, Ecuador, South Africa and Brazil.
I am very excited to learn that Polk County will be the host of the event in 2014. Last weekend @ihearttampa and I drove to Frostproof and the site for 2014’s event Universal Shooting Academy. They were conducting a United States Practical Shooting Association USPSA match over the weekend. The facility is fantastic and should be a great site to host the world’s best shooters.
