bababoris Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I will also be shooting it using my P80 G35 due to technical difficulties with my 40sw STI. Any tips or things to keep in mind for shooting steel? I assume it will be various steel plates, Texas stars, etc…. going to be a fun time I am sure.

AzShooter Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Bring lots of ammo. And have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Have fun and enjoy the experience. Just remember to listen to the overview from the MD. Some outlaw matches will have some different rules/shot count depending on the size and shape of steel used. I doubt their doing multiple shots on steel with the ammo shortage though.

IVC Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 On steel, you have to be patient with the sight picture. If it's a borderline shot, don't take it. It might feel "slower" but it's not about speed, it's about vision. Make sure you see the sights and are sure of the shot before pulling the trigger.

Old3GNR Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Steel shooting is all about speed. If the sights are anywhere on the target pull the trigger and move on. Don't wait to hear to "gong". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzShooter Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Do not slow down to watch your sights. Once you are on-target let the shot fly. You are trying to hit large scale and not small MOA shots so relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrdoran Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Try to come up with a cadence for the stage. Some stages have natural doubles, some have a consistent cadence across all plates. Watch and listen to the shooters ahead of you. If your first match, don't even worry about time. Listen to the RO commands, try for good hits and have fun. You will leave frustrated if you are worried about time your first few matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38super Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 It is accuracy and speed, both depend upon your skills. The plate is your 10 ring. Shoot your speed, when confident, push 5-10%. Leave your emotions and expectations in the parking lot. Thinking you can go faster, well it might work (2) getting started for steel challenge - YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebrains Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Steel makes me want to get a 22 and spend a bunch of time working on the mechanics. I have a club 30mins away where I can setup a bay for practice on non event days. Both people that suggested different approaches are correct. You have to go fast, yet you want to not mike bc that screws with your flow. Lots of little things to work out for yourself mean you’ll need to shoot an event, then go off and practice a bunch.

Kilrb Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Right now where I shoot at least 90% shoot .22, works good. I switched several month back and there are lot of good .22 guns and accessories available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One comment is about not missing, the other is about not waiting for the sound confirmation. Both are about not wasting time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
