## What is sports shooting in this context

Sports shooting covers disciplines recognized by confederations and federations, with federated athletes, approved rules and calendar. Dynamic practical shooting (IPSC and similar) is one of the fastest growing areas: matches in polygons, several stages per day, scoring by points and time. Other lines (e.g. Olympic shooting) have different metrics; This site focuses on the practical/competitive ecosystem with hit factor and stages.

## IPSC and IDPA: two result languages

In IPSC, hit factor, zones A/C/D and power factor (major/minor) dominate. In IDPA, the time with procedural penalties weighs differently. Scoring Services displays IPSC proofs and IDPA routes in the live kiosk (https://m.scoring.services/) when the proof is configured. For IPSC theoretical study, use /pages/ipsc-guide; For live IDPA results, filter evidence by type in the hub.

## Clubs, calendar and community

Finding a match and club is the first competitive step. The calendar in /calendario aggregates events; /clubes-tiro and the IM hub list clubs for registration and contact. Matches imported by the community appear in /list — useful for studying regional stages and comparing their history.

## Data as a competitive advantage

Athletes who review overalls and stages after each match adjust training with priority (less miss, more A, better entry on short stages). Coaches use comparisons of up to four athletes and a radar graph. Media organizers use broadcast overlay. This is all shooting sports with a culture of performance — not just participating.

## Federation, clubs and data

Official registration calendar in /calendar; clubs in /clubes-tiro and in the IM hub. After the match, live results in https://m.scoring.services/ or history in /list.
