In USPSA practical shooting, competitors safely race through each course of fire, which will typically include props such as walls and barricades, to accumulate the most points on target in the fastest time possible. Area 6 is the Southeast region of the USPSA, which had 331 total competitors in the six divisions of competition. The competition required competitors to complete 12 courses of fire, for a total of 219 rounds, featuring reactive steel targets and paper targets.
