Un grupo de salvadoreños recientemente participo en la Copa Quetzal, organizada por la IPSC de Guatemala, llevandose acabo en el Club de Tiro Hincapie, el cual contó con la participación de más de 100 competidores proveniente de 6 países, entre ellos, México, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Colombia, El Salvador y Guatemala. Durante 2 días, 14 escenarios diferentes se dispararon un poco más de 30,000 cartuchos entre todos los participantes.
La participación de El Salvador fue muy amplia, 18 competidores, incluyendo 2 categorías: Lady y Junior, en efecto el sexo femenino tiene participación activa en este tipo de competencia, así como también el Junior donde personajes que van entre los 10 a 15 años estos participan juntos a sus padres como supervisores e incluso son sus mismos padres quienes los entrenan para este tipo de deporte.
Entremos en detalles, IPSC es el nombre con el que se conoce a una disciplina de tiro deportivo bajo el auspicio de una asociación con el mismo nombre, la Confederación Internacional de Tiro Práctico (International Practical Shooting Confederation). Es una disciplina de tiro deportivo cuyo origen data de los años cincuenta en el estado de California (EE. UU.) y que nació de la necesidad de un entrenamiento adecuado para grupos de élite militares y policiales para lidiar con situaciones reales en las que un arma podría ser utilizada en defensa propia o de otros.
La Confederación Internacional de Tiro Práctico (IPSC) fue oficialmente fundada durante la Conferencia Internacional de Pistola de Combate realizada en la ciudad de Columbia, Misuri, EE. UU., en mayo de 1976. Cuarenta personas de todo el mundo fueron invitadas a esta conferencia para determinar la naturaleza y futuro de este deporte. El coronel Jeff Cooper actuó como Presidente de la conferencia y fue elegido como primer Presidente Mundial de la IPSC.
Los recorridos de tiro (ejercicios) son de estilo libre. Se debe permitir a los competidores que resuelvan los desafíos presentados de una manera libre según se estime más conveniente y, para competiciones de arma corta y fusil, que disparen a los blancos con base en “como y cuando sean visibles”. Después de la señal de comienzo, los ejercicios pueden o no requerir recargas obligatorias, así como obligar una determinada posición, ubicación o postura de tiro. También se pueden crear condiciones, y construir barreras o limitaciones físicas, para forzar a los competidores a una posición, ubicación o postura de tiro.
