robert3405 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Shot my first SCSA match yesterday. I shot PCCO with a Palmetto State Armory 16” 9mm carbine. It was an awesome time! Below are my results. 60.84 total on 5 stages showdown 12.22 Pendulum 14.66 Smoke and hope 11.37 Accelerator 11.33 Roundabout 11.26 I’ve never had more fun shooting in my life. Lawrence County Sportsman’s Assoc in Wampum PA put on a great shoot. Laid back atmosphere and many great folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyman1876 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I’m pretty sure Wampum does a knockdown steel match. If you think SC if fun then give that a rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you liked those, wait until your shoot a match with the 3 missing stages Five to Go, Speed Option and Outer Limits! They are the most challenging and require lots of focus to shoot them well.

robert3405 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Thanks for the replies! I was pretty happy with my performance but I know I left a lot of time out there. Look forward to improving with each shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to improving with each shoot. Make sure to join USPSA and then you can track your progress on the SCSA classification page. Once you are classified you can see how you stack up against the upper level shooters, and chart your improvement. SC is super fun and addictive, and has become my favorite discipline.

stick Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Steel Challenge is fun. Practice is the key to getting better. Welcome to the dark side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradsteimel Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Good news... the ONE thing you need to practice for Steel is your draw from surrender. Shave that by .1 and you’re 4 seconds faster for the match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdawgbeav Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Welcome to the club! Shame you are across the state. We have a monthly match on the eastern side of PA of all 8 stages, plus the East Coast Steel Challenge Championship in September. Not to mention the PA Steel League (http://steelshooters.com).

robert3405 Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Shot my second SCSA match this past saturday. I shot PCCO and RFPO here were my results with the PCCO: Showdown: 10.03 5 to go: 12.79 Smoke n hope: 10.70 Accelerator: 14.15 totally brain dead on this stage Roundabout: 11.67 Here are my results with RFPO 15.01 19.99 11.77 16.56 12.92 So far I have shot 6 stages with the PCCO and here are my top times in each stage: Show down 10.03 Pendulum 14.66 Smoke 10.70 Accelerator 11.33 Roundabout 11.26 5 to go 12.79 I am currently in B class but if my calculations are correct I should move up to A. I have a total time of 70.77 on these 6 stages and the total peak time for these 6 stages in PCCO is 55.50 55.50 / 70.77 = 78.4% Am I calculating this correctly?

GOF Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 The PCCO scores you posted sound like upper B Class. You're not a long way from A. Join USPSA...get a member #... link to Steel Challenge home website, and you'll be able to track your progress. And, yes, Steel Challenge is a lot of fun! I shot RFPO today... might have made A Class. Already there in RFRO , and now need to work on PCCO (72% currently) and CO. Soooo many guns, and so few matches to enjoy them.

robert3405 Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 I have a USPSA number A109761. They will update my classification wed morning. I was trying to get a feel for where I’m at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewood Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Looks like you have it correct Robert. When you shoot Outer Limits and Speed option those peak times will be added to your classification record. Your percentage may go down but your classification will stay the same. An argument could be made that those two stages are the most difficult, especially outer limits. My advice would be to practice moving (dry fire) from the end box to the center at the minimum so that you have an idea how to do it before you see it for the first time, assuming it is in a match. As you know outer limits and speed option have targets out at 105 feet. You are doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert3405 Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Driving across PA is not something I relish! But I sure appreciate the invite! I’m in eastern Ohio so LCSA is only about 1hr15min drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
