NTPS Steel Match Sunday June 26 in Dickson

[AH1356]

The North Tennessee Practical Shooters will host a Steel Match on Sunday, June 26 in Dickson. The match will generally follow USPSA rules and scoring, but all targets are steel and there will be twists like time-off bonus shots and mulligans. This is definitely not a match to miss.

After the match we will have a "king of the hill" head to head showdown in double elimination format.

The match will be 5 or 6 stages and around 150 rounds, plus the shoot-off.

Registration opens around 8:00 with first shots fired around 9:00.

Here is a link to info on the match, and to general club info, range directions, etc.

A couple of videos from last year's steel match:

The required order on this one was Red-White-Blue. You'd think that would be easy to remember but this stage gave people fits.

Moving no-shoot and non-falling steel.

This will be a fun and challenging match. Not to be missed.

Is there any thing a new shooter should know? How many mags? How long does it last? What caliber weapons can be used? And any other info that might help. My son and I plan to be there.

Randy,

This will be a memorable first match - steel matches are always fun and very challenging. Here are some short answers. Other than that, I'd plan to arrive 8:00ish and look for Brian Smith. He's the match director.

Here's the link for general club information: NTPS Club Information

How many mags? There is a stage with 32 pieces of steel. The short answer is you need enough mags to hold enough rounds to knock down 32 pieces of steel. How many mags that is is a function of your gun, your accuracy, etc.

The match itself will probably end sometime between noon and 1:00, but that's a guess. After that we'll have a "head to head shootoff" which will probably take another hour.

Caliber: 9mm/.38 and up, handgun only of course, and I doubt this will be an issue but no steel core bullets.
