    Shot Timers and Rimfire rifles ...

    in Steel Challenge

    Posted

    Looking into new Shot Timers for our Club's Steel Challenge program.

    We have been getting a lot of Rimfire rifles shooters.

    Some timers will not pick up certain rifles 100% of the time.

    I have had good results with my own Pact Club III timer and may go that route.

    Any thoughts or experience on timers that work well with Rimfire rifles?

    Thanks!

    SMITH&WESSON IDPA BUG NATS

    Posted

    I am not much of an IDPA guy as I have only shot a hand full of those types of matches.

    This was my first BUG (back up gun) match.

    For an Inaugural match I thought S&W did a really good Job.

    Giving the fact that every string of fire was only 5 shots (or less) a lot of thought went into stage design.

    13 Stages and 180+ rounds.

    Some targets were Bill Drill style up close which I really liked and many others were a challenge for my stock G26 which I shot for the first time a few days before.

    Next year I hope to shoot this match again - but with more front sight respect and maybe a different gun.

    HEARING LOSS

    in Steel Challenge

    Posted

    This issue actually came up a local match this past Sunday.

    I was the RO on the squad (and match MD..)

    One competitor was having an issue calling his shots and could not see the hits on the plates (22lr). He also could not hear the ding/ring of the plates. I could tell was getting frustrated.

    He asked if I would call the misses (Btw - Some of our plates are dead - no ring).

    Normally I don't coach while ROing.

    But I did with this shooter since it was not a Major Match and I wanted to help him have a positive experience.

    Good question for a Major match.. I need to read the rules again...

    Single Stack for Steel Challenge

    Can I use any holster other than a full-on race rig?

    If shooting in the Single Stack Competition Division:

    APP A:

    "Single Stack: Will be governed by the criteria in the USPSA handgun rule book. i.e. 1911 models only, no race holsters allowed."

    Many local matches just have Limited Division which would follow Limited guidlines..
