Roy, your area is the only one I hear of that has more than 1 steel match. Do you know of others (perhaps SoCal?) ?
SC lacks market (match) penetration. Whereas USPSA has multiple matches in each state. I fear we are missing the boat by not leveraging our strength...an established network of clubs and shooters.
That seems like a perfectly reasonable response. There is no network. No scoring software. No classification/ranking system. Really...there is not much in the way of a brand (although I always liked the "Steel Challenge" name as a brand). It's just not built out in any manner.
Again, I think that is something that USPSA...with it's strength in it's network...could build out and develop. The old SC organization lacked the wherewithal to do that. USPSA can. They have the leverage/position to do so.
