Looking for a recommendation for steel challenge target stands and hangers. This would be my personal set, so looking for a free-standing base, and it would be nice if it was easily transportable.
Thanks!
Reach out to Karl from GT Targets in PA.

I don't think it is legal in Steel Challenge due to the arm brace. I think it's shoulder stock only on rifles.

Have you checked out the new Luth Stock for the 10-22. That may be what you're looking for.

Here's a question for all..... And thinking twice about the Volquartson...Driving myself crazy...HaHa
But Seriously.
Do to physical limitations, I need a vertical fore grip. I thinking about the Wiland or Crazy Ivan stock, but do not know of a way to mount one. Does anybody use one and how is it mounted?
I appreciate all the responses...............Roy
I have two Kidd rifles set up for Steel Challenge. One is in a Wiland Chassis. To get the configuration you want, I just purchased a S&W MP 15-22 from the Performance Center. Weighs 5 lbs and has an MLok fore end to attach the grip you need. I think the MP 22 would be the better way to go. Again. Just my opinion based on having tried them all. Manny.

Go to Kidd Industries and build what you want. Get the single stage 1.5lbs trigger and you'll have all you will need.

We are switching over to Rimfire Challenge for most of our matches this season. Seems that's what most people prefer to shoot now a days. We also have Steel Plate matches and call them just that. It's either static or falling steel depending on what the nucleus of our followers want. It works for us so far.

As the originator to this thread, I'm not sure what to add to this discussion other than
I am very happy that new folks have joined the discussion!!
With all the news/rumors about USPSA’s "issues", past and present I guess, bringing
this topic up during the plandemic, me not doing enough to stir up interest in the topic,
(I really should have reached out to more area directors) and a Steel Challenge Director
being added in the middle of it and no one telling him and no one telling him
"Hey!! there's a proposal from some guy in Area 7 to add some new SC divisions"
we really didn't stand a chance.
USPSA the Org doesn't really see us as we see us, we're the red-headed stepchildren, the
odd family member that everyone talks about, just be quiet and give us your money and
we’ll keep logging your scores to keep you somewhat quiet.
But, with all that said, some new revelations about Steel Challenge shooters has come to
light!! Like how some many folks that shoot the game but are not registered members??
We had a poster here admit it in this very thread for one, if you have no skin in the game,
it does make it hard to listen.
Another is the private money matches, I thought every USPSA/Steel Challenge match I
enrolled in benefitted the club I was shooting at, not so, well not in the way I assumed it was.
Not sure how I feel about this, especially when there are some heavy dollar prize matches out
there. Is a non-profit organization? (well the way it’s run currently I guess it is)
And don’t even get me started about the cheaters…oh I’m sorry, I guess they’re called “gamers”
I need to see some real changes in the way Steel Challenge is represented for its members
before I go and spend any real time on this issue again. As many have mentioned, Steel
Challenge is not an entity, USPSA is the governing body, we have no BOD, we have no real
say in what goes ones on except for our one representative. (Thanks Zack)
Oh well, I guess I did have some stuff to add
(sorry for the formatting, lost pwr here and cut & pasted this from word b4 I lost my interweb conn)
Well stated Dave. I for one, will be steering my Club towards the "Rimfire Challenge" type of matches in the future. It avoids a couple of issues that we deal with in Steel Challenge. Being able to create different classes is the main bonus, but contestants not knowing the course layout is another. Everyone started out cold, and no one has practiced the course for two weeks leading up to the match. I'm finding that more shooters like that format better. Again people, JUST MY OPINION, which even today, I believe I am entitled to. Moonclip.

Can’t find any S&W ammo or brass. Acquired a German, 32 S&W, Burgo revolver (import banned by 1968 Gun Control Act).
Is it feasible to trim 32 S&W long cases to reload, light loads, for the 32 S&W Burgo?
Check with Starline Brass.

Given that I'm pretty sure they believe that people will simply be shooting rimfire revolver instead of a different division (instead of this potential change suddenly making a lot of rimfire revolvers shooters show up out of nowhere) it seems pretty likely that indeed, money wasn't the issue.
They would literally lose no money adding rimfire revolver. i'm not sure how it could be about the money.
As someone has mentioned before---every club can literally add a category in their registration for "rimfire revolver" so that when people are shooting RFPI, they can literally not only compare score to other rimfire revo people, but also start actually collecting data to send to their Area Director as a reason to add rimfire revolver.
As has been said from Zach and the BoD, they don't think there is enough interest to add rimfire revolver division. I know people keep saying here that there is a lot of interest----but even on a thread specifically about it, there haven't been that many people saying they would do it. Enough to fill a squad? Sure. More? Not really...
Which is not me saying that there ISN'T enough interest actually among members across the nation. I am saying, however, that no one seems to be presenting data on that sort of thing to the Board, which means they aren't going to be convinced.
Is anyone trying to contact a bunch of SC clubs, and asking them to make a rimfire revo category to gather some data? It wouldn't be hard to do---take an extra 30 seconds to set up in the registration form, that's all. After the match, write down the numbers, then send them to someone who is collecting all of it...
For those who are pushing for this, is anyone trying to collect more data to convince the board than merely asking here?
When someone in power is not interested in putting a proposed change into the system, it makes no difference what gets submitted, they will not implement that change. USPSA officials told members from Area 7 to write up the facts and submit them ( which they did) for consideration, and they never brought it up for any discussion. If you have followed the story about the corruption at the top of the organization you would realize it really is about the money.

Here's some information that I got directly from USPSA Reps. They say that they looked into a .22 revolver division and they don't feel that it would be of great interest to a lot of shooters, (meaning revenue to the USPSA). When I questioned them about whether it was about the money or the shooters, they stressed that money wasn't the issue. Given the current situation on the web about the association's finances, I'm thinking it is all about the dollars. Anyway, my opinion. But I do know that my Club and a lot of others are starting their own Rimfire Challenge Matches where the revolver is in a class of its own. Unless the USPSA puts the money aside and caters to its members, they will continue to loose Clubs like mine. ELF.

I don't think you would want to start out in Steel Challenge Matches with the World Shoot, but it would be a great opportunity for you to see how the best shoots do.

Go to Allchin Mounts. The best way to mount your red dot close to the barrel and still have it secure. Don't waste time and money on others.

I can put all my rounds from the match in the raisin bag as well as my 5 speed loaders and still have lots of room. I got my bag from RevolverSupplyCo.com.
I also wear a shell bag used for Skeet shooting the works well too.

Hi guys
What is the best option to unload a RF cylinder between strings? Dump into a bag, pouch? Obviously cant dump on the ground with live rounds. Don't want to sweep myself.
Thanks
Squirrel
At ICORE Matches, at times shooters dump moonclips with live rounds to charge the cylinder with a full clip.

I have the two Stage 1lb in my target rifle and the one stage 1.5lb in the plate rifle. The single stage is the way to go for competition with lots of movement.

Squirrel45 Just get the Kidd trigger complete the way you want it and pop it in. Not a good place to be penny wise and dollar foolish. Kidd triggers work.

Is anyone out there using a Browning SA .22 in SC with some success? Just thing about going a different direction. Your thoughts please. PS. I currently use a Kidd with great success, just thinking about testing the waters.

I've sent them red dots for repairs and they have just replaced them with the latest upgrades.

Send it back to C More. They have a great customer service department.

The game just isnt suited for revolvers,, I mean we could have a flintlock pistol division, and only shoot against flintlock pistols but I think it woulda kinda suck. Would pretty much be a reloading game not a shooting game.
Why I like pins and SC so far... seems to be fun shooting games.On 10/4/2022 at 7:30 PM, motosapiens said:i did it this year on a dare. borrowed a revo, spent 20 rounds to chrono and zero, and went to a match. ill never shoot revo again tho. top 42% actually. my mother would be proud, except i was too embarrassed to admit to her that i shot a wheelgun.

You guys sure get your feelers hurt easily.
I can shoot a revolver (well enough to finish in the top half of a revo-only match). I just choose not to.
BS.

You must be joking, or are a joker. That is an asinine comment.
Obviously this ignorance is coming from people who can't shoot a revolver.

9mm in a 38 Super Revolver

I have heard that some 38 Super Revolver shooters are now shooting 9mm ammo in their guns. How is it working out and is it an OK practice to be doing this? Please advise. Thanks. Moon Clip.
