The steel match is open to all comers. There will be five or six targets and you will draw and shoot 5 times. Best 4 runs will count. There will be a class for most anyone. If you don't have a holster for your gun, you may start from "low ready" and take a 2 second penalty. You will need a gun rug(or similar)to stow your gun between stages. Rifles will need a "chamber flag". There are some at the range for purchase. Steel Match Divisions; •Rimfire Iron Sights •Rimfire Optics •Rimfire Rifle •Revolver •Pistol Semi-Auto Iron Sights •Pistol Semi-Auto Optics •Pistol Caliber Carbines

This is going to be a great match for both beginner and experienced competitor. Simple easy courses of fire, you will be scored on your best 4 of 5 runs on each stage. This match is also open to .22 rimfire, if you dont have a holster that will not be a problem either you will be allowed to come to the line with a cased pistol and start from low ready.

If you have been considering getting started in some type of competition this is the match for you, if you are experienced don't let the simple courses of fire keep you away. Come show us just how fast you are.

I am working on getting an official personal set of the "Steel Challenge" material to be included with any or all MCTS steel matches or any other club that is in need.

It will not be done before the end of this year.

New MCTS schedule will be out tonight with some minor modifications to the website.

[Randy W]

Planning on being there.

? Being new to this what do you consider to be a gun rug?

What shotgun load do you recommend? oo, bird, or smothing else?

Example:

Find - MidwayUSA

What shotgun load do you recommend? oo, bird, or smothing else?

Unless otherwise specified in the course description, it's typically birdshot. #7.5 or #8 shot would be your best bet.

Or even a simple plastic hard case that your handgun may have come in, nothing fancy needed.

For shotgun shells the 100 round value packs at Walmart are fine if they run in your gun.

[Randy W]

Just picked up the value pack of shotgun shells and 250 rds of 9 plus a box of slugs. Should be good to go. Thanks.

[gsbell]

No problem, we will see you Saturday

Looks like a fun match. I hate I can't come. It's my wife's birthday. If it goes well maybe we can do it again some time.

I true birthday gift showing her you care is a day at the range. Don't you love her? This is the gift that keeps on giving.

[CatsEye]

Codi might disagree.

[gsbell]

if you had bought her that raffle ticket, it might be a different story.

[EastHipster]

Looks like fun.

What are the ranges on the Shotgun stages?

I have a Cylinder Bore and was wondering about Birdshot not knocking down the targets

Thanks,

KFN

[gsbell]

Cyl Bore should not be an issue, come on out.

[bulm540]

Good luck guys, I won't be able to make this this one due to previous commitments. I love steel.

[Mechanic_X]

Weather shaping up nicely. Hope to see everyone there.

Thx John and Carla!

[Rickey]

This sounds different. How is this shot, is it different yardage, is it a plate rack? I don't know anything about it.

[Mechanic_X]

Hey Rickey this was a blast. We had one wheel gun shooter. Four stages in all. The stages were 4 pieces of steel any order, from 7 to 12 yards, and one more piece as the "stop plate". So five total. Except the plate rack which was six. Shot each stage five times and counted the best four times. I hope this makes it on the schedule next year because I really enjoyed it. You would have been really good at it I bet.
