danjordan78 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Not sure why they didn't post it to the website, but registration is open. If you want an entry form pm me and I will email one to you. Interesting thing is the email to what I assume was people that shot last year came from Manny Bragg....

frgood Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Agreed, I find myself a little confused as well. Is this the one that was in Volusia last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danjordan78 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 That's the one. For some reason they didn't put the entry form or any kind of links to this year's registration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackJones Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Doesn't appear to be affiliated with Steel Challenge so I'll pass. I'll express my displeasure to my AD and the bearded one. ETA: Foley is aware and is working it. I think he's going to be an outstanding president for our organization.

Nimitz Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 yep, still not a sanctioned event ...with a whole year to work it maybe next year .... I'm registered and will be shooting on Fri & Sat .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Zach, this is a free standing event and for the last couple years has been a much better match than the Steel Challenge. They had an agreement with Dave Thomas and were sanctioned for years. It has new ownership and don't know the status, but it is one not to miss regardless.

PPGMD Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 It may not be sanctioned but it is some of the best setup steel challenge matches you will ever shoot. The crew that sets it up takes stage setup very seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Yep, this is a very well run match and is not sub-standard in any aspect. Great match staff, serious competition, lots of fun, good food, and the prize table is pretty generous. If you enjoy shooting steel and can make the match it is highly recommended. Good time of year to be in Florida. I have RO'd this a couple times and wanted to again this year but a job change and uncertainty in getting the required time off kept me from being able to commit to work it this year - which was really disappointing to me. (The RO I was partnered with is probably not nearly as disappointed, though. ) Edited January 31, 2016 by Bamboo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackJones Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'm sure that it's a great match and I would probably have a great time shooting it but I just can't bring myself to spend the $$$ to shoot an unsanctioned match, no matter how good it is. I don't shoot GA State match for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't shoot GA State match for the same reason. Makes zero sense. It is one of the longest running major steel challenge matches. Has much of the pros shooting it. Is in Florida in March which means great weather. Has a pretty good prize table. About the only negative there is that they don't submit your score to SCSA for classification. But no one is doing anything with the SCSA class system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your want to not support unsanctioned matches will leave out much of the Steel Challenge matches out there.

bigtimelarry Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 A well run Steel Challenge match with the Best shooters from all over having it in the state of Florida in March.. Can't get any better than that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danjordan78 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 My desire to shoot outweighs my desire to let politics, policy, and opinions keep me from it. To each their own. You have to decide what your threshold is, and realize that other's might be different. The same type of discussion was had around the Steel Challenge being held in California. I realize some wouldn't go for political reasons, so be it. I chose to go because I wanted to shoot more than I wanted to make a point. And before anyone throws the mag capacity issue out there, it's still a choice. I won't argue with anyone that chooses not to go if it's not a sanctioned SC match. It's up to each of us to think for ourselves and decide where the line is. My line happens to be closer to the firing line than the parking lot:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmittyFL Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 All, we are having a SC match this Sunday at Universal Shooting Academy. All 8 official stages, if you're looking for a warm up. We will also be open for practice Mon-Fri for those interested. I think practice opens in Volusia Thursday, not sure.
