Vision
The future our our sports relies on a strong foundation of integrity and accountability. The ISA has designed a system of handicapping that ensures that future generations will grow up enjoying them for years to come!
Why a Handicapping System
1.
UNFAIR COMPETITION
The playing field is uneven, with novices and professionals competing within the same classes, which compromises fairness.
2.
INEFFECTIVE GROUPINGS
The current system for grouping competitors is not only slow, but fails to accommodate the changing skill levels of participants, reducing their motivation to compete and leading to a loss of engagement.
3.
INADEQUATE REWARDS
The incentives for competitors, particularly in terms of payouts and rewards, are minimal and fail to reflect the effort and skill involved.
What We Do
At the Integrated Sportsman’s Association, we're committed to elevating sports through handicap systems. With our proprietary system, ISA ensures a level playing field, allowing competitors of all skill levels to compete and succeed based on their performance. Discover how our approach fosters fairness and excitement in the sport.

As of 2020, there are more than 56 million people in the United States who participate in sport and target shooting activities, including rifle sports. This statistic includes participants across various firearms categories such as handguns, rifles, and shotguns. Link
$90B
In 2023, the shooting industry was responsible for generating approximately $90.06 billion in total economic activity in the US. This substantial economic contribution highlights the industry's importance not only in terms of direct sales and manufacturing, but also through its ripple effect across the economy. Link
384K
The firearms industry supports a significant number of jobs across the country. In total, it supports approximately 384,000 jobs, including direct, supplier, and ancillary roles. These positions are not only substantial in number, but also offer competitive wages and benefits. Link
12M
The year 2021 saw a record high in firearms production, with a total of 12,511,637 firearms manufactured, a significant increase from previous years, underscoring a surge in demand and production capabilities within the industry. Link
Our System
Instead of using the very limited data of scoring and ranking only events, our handicap system measures performance of both events and practice, which helps create a more complete picture of proficiency.
