This month we'll be doing a Steel Challenge match rather than a falling plates one. Go to the Steel Challenge forum for rules, but basically we will run a pistol match from Bay 3, and a pistol caliber carbine/rifle match from Bay 2. We done the pistol matches before and they will be unchanged. Both will have 4 plate and a stop plate which must be shot last to stop the timer. Penalities for shooting out of order. The plate will be shot 5 time (reloading between strings allowed as necessary) and the best four will count toward a total time. Best total time in division wins division. We will have a division for all IDPA divisions plus Open and .22 rimfire open and iron sights only. There will also be a single shot cowboy revolver division. On Bay 2 we will run the pistol caliber carbine match. Only difference is that the targets will be a little smaller and/or farther away. Divisions are Open (optics, etc), iron sights only, cowboy, .22 cal rimfire open and .22 cal iron sights. Allowable loads include .38 Spl, .357 mag (if downloaded to .38 Spl loads), 9mm, .41 mag (if downloaded), 44 Spl, .44 mag (if downloaded to .44 Spl) all cowboy calibers, .22 rimfire. There may be other exceptions if approved by the Range Officer, but generally no magnum or other centerfire rifle loads will be allowed.
The match should run pretty fast (we've run 21 shooters in 1 1/2 hours). Using 2 bays will make things run even faster. Cost will be $5.00 per run.
