Steel Challenge

Maybe you feel a bit daunted by action pistol? Don’t have the high-end rifle for benchrest? Price point of a Perazzi keeping you out of sporting clays? Well, now we have you covered! These courses of fire can be shot with ANY non-magnum pistol caliber firearm including .22LR. Get grandma’s squirrel rifle out of the closet if that’s all you’ve got!

There is no movement, so folks who might have mobility issues are on even ground, and any youngster who can safely handle a firearm can participate. Just the same, the courses of fire are quick and challenging enough to keep things fun.

The farthest target is thirty-five yards, and most targets are seventeen to twenty yards out, making it suitable for beginners and experts.

Breakdown:

Our matches usually consist of (5) stages of four targets and a stop plate. Each stage is shot 5 times (strings) best 4  are added for lowest combined score. This equates to a high round count of at least 125 IF you are perfect and don’t miss…. most of us bring plenty more.

• Center fire pistols (non magnum loads only)
• Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC)  9mm, 40, 45

Matches:

Typical matches will start at 8:30 a.m. with a safety briefing, first shots at 9 a.m. Please plan on being there ready to go by the safety meeting, we’ll be shooting for 3-4 hrs with a lunch afterwards.

When you arrive, all stages will be setup and ready to go, and the RO’s (range safety officers)  will be finalizing the course. You can walk through and check the stages beforehand, BUT ABSOLUTELY NO FIREARMS until directed to do so by an RO and the safety briefing.

Please be mindful that a lot of work his gone into this beforehand and any help afterwards (tearing down)  is greatly appreciated .
