Juniors (18 and under) shoot first gun for free - 2nd gun $5.00 (All competitors 18 and under must be accompanied by their parent or guardian throughout the competition).


General Principles:

Steel Challenge scoring is simple: your time is your score!
Each stage consists of five targets, commonly referred to as plates. Four are standard plates, and the fifth is designated as the stop plate.
Each of the standard targets must be hit at least once before hitting the stop plate, and the time stops when the stop plate is hit. Competitors may fire as many rounds as they deem necessary for each string of fire. The worst string on each stage will be thrown out, and the total of the remaining times will be competitor’s score for that stage. All stages will be shot five times with the exception of "Outer Limits" which will be shot four times.
The maximum time allowed for an individual string is 30 seconds.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***NOTE***

*HSC is a COLD RANGE: All firearms will be kept UNLOADED except on the firing line under the direct supervision of a Match Officials.
*Gun handling at Safe tables only and must be brought to the firing line in a holster or case.
*Eye and ear protection is required for all shooters and spectators.
*Holsters: In general, holsters shall be mounted in the general vicinity of the waist, must cover the trigger, and must safely hold/retain the gun. All Centerfire handguns must be appropriate for holster use.
*HSC will allow "Low Ready" starts for Centerfire handguns (2 seconds added per run)
*Rimfire competition does not involve the use of a holster
*Each competitor is expected to come to the firing line ready to shoot, with an appropriate amount of ammunition in an appropriate number of magazines or speed-loaders or other loading devices.
*Minimum cartridge for centerfire competitions (38 Special, 9X19).
*Rimfire firearms must be .22 Long Rifle (.22LR) only
*Any ammunition deemed unsafe or likely to damage the targets will be removed from use
*Any standard plate which has not been hit before the stop plate will count as a Miss. Each Miss on a standard plate will result in a 3 (three) second penalty, added to the shooter’s time for that string.
*If the stop plate is not hit, the score for that string is 30 seconds

Paul, there is a conflict on May 3 at Harvard.

MWT has the John Kelly Memorial match scheduled and you have Steel challenge scheduled.

If there is going to be a duel to settle this, we all want to know.

FYI: John Catterall moved the Kelly match.

Greetings MWT Shooters,

Due to a schedule conflict with the Steel Challenge matches at the Harvard Sportsmens Club, the Kelly match will be moved from the original date of Saturday, May 3, 2014 and will instead be held on Sunday, June 29, 2014. That date is the day after the June club match so we will be able to leave a stage or two up for the Kelly match.

I have changed the date on the MWT website and the event date on www.idpa.com

Regards,
John
 
Looking forward to seeing how my new rimfire open pistol does. Thanks for posting the schedule Paul. See you then.
 
how long does this typically take to run? I work Saturday afternoons and I'm curious if I can attend before work
 
We're usually done with the first gun round by 12:30, 1ish at the latest. [smile]

HTH,

I left a folding stool in pit 4 at the steel challenge today at HSC. If anyone found it, please PM me. I was in "Point Blank" Frank's group.
