While shooting a steel match this weekend many the people in our squad began to have a conversation about the eight stages of steel that we were shooting. The match consisted of the same eight stages that are found in the Steel Challenge and the US Steel National. A large consensus of the shooters stated they would like to see more variety of stage available to shoot. For example, if there were 24 or so sanctioned stages, a match could at random choose eight different stages for that match. This would add some variety and attract more shooters to a great sport. I am sure that we are not the first, nor the last, who would suggested something like this. I would hope the SCSA would check with their members to see if this would be a desired change. Steel matches is a fantastic way to introduce new and young shooters to the competitive shootings sports. I believe greater variety would translate to greater interest and participation.
