I think Scootertheshooter was talking about the prize table prior to the order of finish.

I posted pictures of page one from the range here http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=206399&p=2433998

Well said 9x23Guy. I too hope they did not kill this match... Here's the overall results for Open and Limited that were posted at the match - (only have first page).

This is being discussed in the Showdown topic right now. Rather than discuss there thought i'd start a new thread.. I personally think the start position should be a point (marker, disc, spot of paint, etc.) on the ground - not 2 feet in the air. It makes setup easier and more consistent from range to range. From the SCSA website: Section 5 - 2.3 In the Rimfire Match, there will be an aiming point (flag or sign) centered downrange directly in front of each shooters box approximately 10’ away and 2’ high. Where multiple boxes are on a stage such as in Outer Limits, the flag will be placed in the center of the array. The competitor while waiting for the start signal, must be pointing/aiming their gun at the flag/sign with the finger off the trigger.

Indoor Steel Challenge - I assume this is in Russia.

Any "Official" announcement yet?

Well said danjordan78.

I think there is an advantage shooting back to back - be it two pistols or a pistol and a rifle. I've done it when allowed. That being said If I was the Match Director and was the one making the call I would not allow it.

Agreed.. We always paint between shooters at our local match as it's the right thing to do...

My understanding is that if a competitor draws his/her gun they own that run and must continue. If they are not ready see below (Sec5 #4). I have been at local (non-major) matches where the RO has allowed a newer shooter to restart the stage if they drew but the gun did not go bang - this was typically due to not having a round chambered . Section 5 4. Start signal At the audible start signal the competitor is to begin their attempt at the course of fire. If a competitor fails to react to the audible start signal, for any reason, the Range Official will confirm that the competitor is ready to attempt the course of fire, and will resume the range commands from “Are You Ready?”

If this is true...it's pretty sad. Maybe it's time for USPSA to let go of the the Steel Challenge and find a group that really wants to run with it...

Usually a side match..

Mark and NSSF.. Thanks for running this and other Rimfire Challenge matches. I look forward to the World Championship.

Is there a recommended power factor for this match?

Glyn, I can run them thru my Scharch roll sizer if you'd like. Paul

You can see target heights here: http://steelchallenge.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/SCSARules.pdf Round (except for Pendulum) @ 5'-0" 18x24 @ 5'-6" Two outside round at Pedulum 6'-0"

The Snowcross have metal studs.. Should be good for winter training.

Has anyone tried the Solomon Snowcross shoes? http://www.salomon.com/us/product/snowcross-cs.html

Do a search for European Steel Challenge. Here's a Vid of KC. For the round targets they use tires..

Mark and the crew at Old Fort Gun Club did an excellent job. Thanks to all those that made it happen.

FYI US National Steel Championships location .. I also agree with Doug - a really well run match... From the Website: http://www.ussteelshoot.com US National Steel Championships 2015 - March 20, 21, 22 | New Smyrna Beach , Florida

I did not take pictures - but I'm sure you'll see pics and videos posted soon. Targets were not set parallel to the backstop. I have never been to a SC match where they were set parallel to a backstop. Targets were angled towards the shooters box as they normally are.

It is on the expensive side - I liked the drum feature with the molded mixing blades and lid. i am going to look for a used Concrete/Cement Mixer.

I plan to just use corn cob..
