NORTH VALLEY SHOOTERS ASSOCIATION

NVSA stands for North Valley Shooters Association. We are a group of like minded people who enjoy shooting. NVSA hosts Sunday shooting events at its Gridley CA location. Below is a breif explanation for each type of event we host. Each presents its own set of challenges. Below I will briefly explain each. Please visit the websites for each discipline to learn more about each one.

USPSA stands for United State Practical Shooting Association. 

On the 3rd. Sunday of each month we have  USPSA  match.  USPSA  events are simple shoot the targets as you travel through a stage limited by shooting areas. Typically a set of walls, fault lines, and props are combined to present targets in a unique and challenging way forcing you to decide what is the best possible way to score as many points in as little time as possible. Competitors are separated by gun types into separate divisions and within each divisions your scores are tallied in separate classes. USPSA is made up of 5 divisions. Open, Limited, Limited 10, Production and Revolver. USPSA  also separates scores by class. Grand Master, Master, A, B, C, D, Unclassified. So when you show up and shoot your first match with your stock G-17 Glock (Production) you will shoot in the class of Unclassified. Each monthly match usually has a single stage that is a "Classifier" stage. That means a classifier stage will be used to determine your class. Classifiers stages are listed here and expected times have been recorded with USPSA . After the match classifier scores are upload to USPSA for tabulation and recording. Once you become a USPSA  member in good standing and have shot 4 classifier stages your class will change from Unclassified to one of the above classes based on your times for each classifier. Each subsequent classifier will be used to determine your current class and as you log more classifiers and imporve on each your class will go up. 

​ICORE stands for International Confederation of Revolver Enthusiasts

ICORE is the International Confederation of Revolver Enthusiasts. ICORE serves the international community to promote action shooting competition with revolvers. Well you guessed it. A shooting competition for revolvers. ICORE is designed to be played exclusively with revolvers
