Steel Challenge

There are 5 stages with 5 steel targets on each. Shooters get five strings on each stage. Each competitor shoots each stage five times, with their slowest run dropped. The counting times are totaled for their stage score, and the five stage scores are added together to establish the competitor’s match score.

For each string, one hit per target is required, with an unlimited number of rounds. The last target to be shot is known as the “stop plate”, which stops the timer. All primary target hits made after the stop plate has been struck, will be scored with a 3 second penalty each. The maximum time permitted for a run is 30 seconds and a competitor will be stopped and asked to reload if they reach the 30 second limit.

Since we usually run 5 stages, you will need at least 125 rounds (150-200 is better), and up to 5 magazines if possible. Please arrive at the match with your firearm unloaded and in a case.
