IPSC-USA announced the Team USA roster for the 2026 Shotgun World Shoot on January 14, 2026. The match takes place in Corinth, Greece, this fall.

Why it matters: The World Shoot is the pinnacle of IPSC competition, where qualifiers earned their slots through a demanding multi-match series.

• The competition will unfold at Corinth Shooting Range, located 80 kilometers from Athens. The event spans nearly two weeks, beginning with a pre-match period and culminating in championship shoot-offs.

By the numbers: The timeline is packed.

• Sept. 21-25 — Pre-Match
• Sept. 27 — Opening Ceremony
• Sept. 28 - Oct. 3 — Main Match
• Oct. 4 — Shoot-Off and Awards

Team organizers issued a critical travel warning for competitors: avoid flying through London with firearms. Some competitors have faced arrest attempting this route, making alternative connections essential.

The team will gather for dinner on September 25, 2026, at 7 PM—a final moment of unity before competition begins.

The bottom line: The roster is set and Greece awaits America's finest shotgun competitors.
