International Metallic Silhouette Shooting Union
The International Metallic Silhouette Shooting Union (IMSSU) is the international organization for metallic silhouette shooting, which was founded in 1992 in response to the fact that rules for metallic silhouette shooting started to diverge around the world.[1]

The first IMSSU competition ruleset was largely based on the NRA metallic silhouette competition rules, but since 1997 NRA has published silhouette rules which differ from IMSSU.[3]

gollark: The backend doesn't actually do much, since it actually uses a really simple RPC thing I put together, so it didn't take that long.
