LeviSS Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 We had 5 stages, all of which were the official stages. Will this be enough to be classified or do I have to shoot all the stages or shoot so many matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackJones Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Go to steelchallenge.com results page and see if the match is listed. If it is and it doesn't have a notice about the activity fee needing to be paid then you will earn your classification on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviSS Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Ok. I didn't see anything about activity fees, so I'm guessing it will happen Weds. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviSS Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 It did update it today. I am .15% from A class ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdawgbeav Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I suck, only C class. But only shot Steel Challenge that one time so far. That should change over the next few months with monthly Steel Challenge matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviSS Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 I think actually practicing the stages, or at least shooting them some, would really help my times. It seems to be a strategy/muscle memory type thing. I found myself having to think about order or I'd mess up the order on a couple runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be a strategy/muscle memory type thing. I found myself having to think about order or I'd mess up the order on a couple runs. It is certainly true that practicing the specific stages will make you better at shooting this specific sport. That being said, just practicing shooting skills (draws, transitions, accuracy at speed) is sufficient to reach a high classification in most of the divisions. For those who are high classification and want to win major matches, practicing specific stages (after reaching that high level) is generally necessary to shave off the last couple of fractions of a second to win. That is separate from making mistakes in terms of plate order. You are probably going to find that how you decide to shoot a stage will change over time as your skills change, so practicing (live fire) the stage again and again won't necessarily help as much as you might think. Practicing your run in dryfire, and visualizing it clearly a couple of times before you actually shoot the stage should be enough to make certain you get your order correct. If not, visualie it clearly more than a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdawgbeav Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Practice and more experience really helps. Here is a chart of the first time I shot SC and my scores from this past weekend shooting the same stages... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Wow. What a change. Great shooting. Glad to see you improved that much on every stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
