Ordinarily I would not steal material from another webpage, but since Jeff has decided to go out of the "IPSC LOADS" publication venture and other IPSC and shooting-related stuff (I don't see a link more recent than 2006), I decided to duplicate the material here, rather than to lose it. I don't feel too uncomfortable "stealing" this, because I contributed a significant amount of the material. Besides, it includes material from individuals who have been shooting IPSC and/or USPSA competition for a ong time, and you may recognize some of them.
If you have a new IPSC Haiku, I hope you will send it to me (see email addy at the bottom of the page) so I can continue to grow this innovative, interesting ... inane ... compilation.
I have a new host for my archival files, but until I learn how to use it I'll just post it here where I can always find it.
This is, as Jeff has stated, taken from a 2001 thread on the Unofficial IPSC List.

From the Dark Side of the Force
Has a great vision.
#########
Offer more options
To all the competitors
To broaden our sport.
#########
But keeping the old
Such as targets and scoring
Everybody smile.

Long live the great Darth
And his faithful servant Vince
Woof, Woof, Woof, Click, Wheeze.

The Geek do haiku
Better than you and me do
Nails the creepers too
#########
Powder saved for naught
Bullet is but a feather
One seventy four
#########
Nick and Vinny plot
Rob and Mikey do see red
We wait and wonder
#########
Scoring and targets
Conspiracy theories
Tempests in teacup
#########
Lots of lead downrange
More, reload, more, reload, more
Steel stands proud and tall
#########
Earthworm tumbles down
Bullets choke in the barrel
Pizza saves the day
#########
This haiku addicts us
Each phrase ridiculous
Two alpha it's gone
#########
Open-gun fire storm
Bullets whizzing everywhere
Targets unafraid
#########
Errant syllable
Embarrassment surrounds us
Time to hit the sack
#########
Targets with no heads
Scores different from before
Hell in handbasket

Brown cardboard target
Needs two holes. I see just one.
A perfect double!
#########
Gravity Turner,
What did I do to you, eh?
That you fall so fast?
#########
Wind blows the steel down.
Range Equipment Malfunction!
I get a reshoot.
#########
The Safety Area ...
you can't handle ammo there.
Okay to dry-fire.
#########
Your SV Fails you.
Should have bought an STI.
Dave Skinner says so.
#########
Area One is
Having a tournament soon.
A Space Oddity!
#########
The 2001
RO Examination
Has a trick question.
#########
Rain drops, mud puddles,
Soggy cardboard bends its head.
Put on plastic bags.
#########
Exciting IP_SiC
Adrenaline flows like wine.
You are drunk with speed.
#########
Just one bullet hole?
Cry: "It's a Double, Dammit!"
RO will believe you.
#########
Eight shots through Port "A",
Make mandatory reload;
Else, procedural.
#########
Sunshine and gunsmoke
And the company of friends.
What more could you ask?
#########
You're getting tired of
Taping holes with masking tape?
Go buy a tape gun.
#########
The RKBA
Issues are a distraction:
We just want to shoot!
#########
Classifier is
Ten Percent over your class.
Too bad. Throw it out.
#########
Run fast, Grasshopper!
Double-tap all ten targets
In under twelve seconds.

Quality unknown
Better relative to what?
More poems for you.
#########
Ten rounds only, frown.
Equipment race is over.
Must now learn to shoot!
#########
Level playing field:
I Don't Practice Anymore
What have you done, Bill?
#########
High Cap STI:
It's Kalifornia Dreaming!
Boring guns pass test.
#########
Fuzzy outline seen.
Sights wobble, pull trigger now!
Speed is what matters.
#########
Complaining endless.
Where to gather for big match.
Weather keeps them in.
#########
Les Baer poster boy,
Wise one says: move fast, shoot slow.
Scores continue climb.
#########
No window constrains.
Three iron bars bisect it.
A-zone has two holes!
#########
Optics for sissies
Or old men with failing eyes.
Limited best way.
#########
Focus shift too slow.
C-More so that I see more
Red dot shows the spot.

Eight-shot revolver
Outlawed by the new rulebook
Better luck next time
#########
But does it matter?
Can't reload fast anyway.
Will make do with six.
