c-more all the way!
Just easy to set-up and point then shoot.

Ruger's are hard to beat.
Inexpensive and just keep on working.

If there is a re-shoot, you only need to re-shoots the strings that were affected.
You do not need to shoot the entire event over.
Of course, I normally go up about 100 rounds on my and at least another 100 in my bag that I take with me into the event.

We have a match at Prado Olympic Shooting Park each month using all four of the events.
There is a practice on the first sunday and the match on the second sunday of the month.
Prado is in San Bernardino County but is within 5 miles of Riverside, Orange and Los Angeles Counties.

FWIW, Steel Challenge uses USPSA movement rules.
Almost ...as far as safty yes , but in USPSA one foot can be lifted off the ground during the shot - so long as it is not touch out side the box. In SC bouth feet must be touch down in the box for the first two shots/targets.
A few years back one of the Ro's on Flying M asked me to move slower so that he could tell if my feet were still on the gound durring the first two shots
I never did find out if he was just messing with me.Yes, he was puller your leg.
Actually if the bullet hits a plate then another plate it does not count.
Have seen it on Speed Option, hit the option and it also its the stop plate.
I asked Mike Dalton about it and he said that it is ruled as range equipment failure and it is a re-shoot.
#2 is not real clear... the fast reply is yes it counts, if you can hit the edge of one plate and the bulet goes and hit the next = it counts.-IF- the round hits closer than 6 feet from the shooter = you are out with a DQ
If you do not hit the stop plate it is a "Max' time run of 30 seconds.
Now #1 = that could be a DQ or just a 3 sec penalty for each shot, depends on the RO as to the DQ any hits not in the box will not count = so it does not mater if you hit a plate out of the box. you would still have to hit it in the box to count.
Outer limits = make shurr bouth feet are touching down IN the box for the first two targets.
Not the best questions to have about Steel Challenge

Shot it that why this weekend and did not really care for it.
It just was a different starting position more then anything bad.
In fact, I do think it is a great idea.
It added about 13 seconds to my score.
The biggest issue I have with it is how it will be handled.
Will the flag be 12' in front of the starting box or the center of the stage?
How will the RO have you start? Looking at the flag or at the plate? Of course the firearm has to be pointing at the flag but does that mean you have to be looking at the flag?
Spoke to Mike Dalton about this and his reply was "what ever the RO allows".
If it was defined if you have to be looking at the flag and the positions of the flags then I will be 100% behind this new rule. Right now I can only be 95% behind it.

Any additional info?

It is soooooo much fun to draw the firearm from a holster that was not unlocked.
It is like a wedgie.
Thanks for all the input.........When I shot the cup in 2005 I was waiting to shoot the mover. (The upper one (which is much more difficult to see targets at - I digress)) and a fellow shooter hit me with his shooting bag as he slung it over his shoulder. Had I not freaked out so quickly, the gun would have been on the ground! I would have been out of the match for no fault of my own.
I have seen folks getting up from the prone position and almost dump their gun.
I think I will opt for the locking type of holster to make sure the gun is secure no matter what. I guess you got to make sure you unlock it before shooing the stage!!!!
I always bag my gun as soon as I am done shooting the stage.
We spend too much money in practice, guns, ammo, travel, hotels, match fees, and precious vacation time to get DQ'd of something like this.

The 012 does not have near the security of the Ghost.
I have use both for a number of years (012 is basically the same as the 011).
Guess which one drops the firearm more offen?
The 012 by a large multiple.
The only way a Ghost will drop the firearm is if you do something wrong.
The 012 will drop the firearm more times then I care to remember just from moving around and not holding onto the firearm.

I've shoot anywhere from a 3 to 15 moa dot and saw one guy shooting a 20 moa.
The 20 moa was too big for me but for a long time my best SC score was with a 15 moa.
Currently I am running an 8 moa and it works great!
8 moa is big enough to quick up quickly but not too big to block out the target.
4 moa can be hard to find at times. If you pick it up quickly everytime then it works for you.

I talked to him on Roundabout (I believe his third stage) and he had already broken two guns.
Unless I heard wrong, his gun broke. -
Don't forget about Bianchi Cup
... and the Sportsmans Team Challenge, and area matches.. everybody holds matches in June.
Derek did say they eventually wanted to take advantage of the early-season Florida weather and hold the match in the early spring, but then you might lose some of the people that are looking for a Steel Challenge warmup, and it'll be hell getting it ready by next March.
What about mid-May ??

Nobody mentioned that JJ shoot 5 to go in 10.05 seconds setting a new Worlds Record. The next shooter up was Max Michael who set a new Worlds Record at 10.02 seconds.

Sounds like fun.
I will have a newbie with me but we should be able to make it.
After all, will be at the BW also.
-
No problema.
It was just too much fun shooting with you.
Bryan

Go with the Blade-Tech and you will not be disapointed.
-
Yup, that was me!
It was my sixth year and every year I have done better then the last. Can not wait until next year!
Having the oppurtunity to spend the week shooting with everyone there is absolutely awesome.
This is a match that should not be missed.
Bryan,Dude, that was you? Good Job!
Later,
Chuck

Who is the other shooter? (in the video)
Almost ...as far as safty yes , but in USPSA one foot can be lifted off the ground during the shot - so long as it is not touch out side the box. In SC bouth feet must be touch down in the box for the first two shots/targets.
Where Is Bc Actually Shot ?
in NRA - Bianchi Cup

We have been around for a number of years now.
It just seems that people come and go so often that it is hard to keep the numbers up.
If everyone goes to the Cup this year that said they were in June of '07 then it will be around 12 just from our club.
Unfortunetly life always seems to get in the way. Many of the dozen will not be making it this year.
