To show our love for guns, we are going to have three matches this month. We already had the USPSA match,
and we will have a special Steel Match on Saturday the 18th. Jon Grimes is planning to run a third match
(special training stages) on the 4th Sunday of February, the 26.
So you have two more chances to show your love for Pb and powder!
When: Setup starts at 9:00AM, signup at 9:30, match starts at 10:00.
What: The monthly steel match is comprised of 5 or 6 stages;
each stage has 5 static steel targets of various sizes at varying
ranges out to 35 yards. None of the shots are hard to make! This is
drag racing with a gun. You get either four or five runs on each stage
and your slowest run is thrown out. Your times for all stages are added
together and that's your score. In order to compete you need eye and
ear protection, a handgun (please no hot magnum loads--they mess up the
steel), sufficient ammo (150 rounds IF you don't miss--bring more), a
belt holster that covers the triggerguard, and speedloaders/magazines to reload (single action
shooters are welcome and can use two guns). The match fee is currently
$10.00. First timers shoot for free.
After the main match we sometimes hold side matches such as bowling pin shoots or man-on-man (or person-on-person) side
matches where shooters compete directly against each other on falling targets.
