Silhouette shooting originated in Mexico. In 1948, the first competition with metal targets was held in Mexico City with the support of Don Gonzalo Aguilar.
In 1967, the first large caliber rifle competition was held in Arizona. In 1976, IHMSA (International Handgun Metallic Silhouette Association) was founded.
In 1992, IMSSU (International Metallic Silhouette Shooting Union) was created to unify rules worldwide. Currently 22 member countries participate.
