PeterParfinik Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 They do a good job running matches there. The targets are set up correctly. The Area 6 match is there three weeks earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BentAero Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) Flying so far under the radar, the plane has crashed. Incredibly bad date planning as there are something like 6 other Level II or better SCSA and USPSA major matches going on the same weekend. Then there's the $100 per gun entry, and no one goes to a major to only shoot one gun. As I write this there are... (drum roll...) 1412 open slots. Me thinks this match is going to be cancelled, rescheduled, or be a complete bomb. There's no way it will be a success on this date.

JM_ Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Also the same week as the Rimfire Challenge World Championship which draws away many world class people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a steel challenge specific RO certification ? Or is it lumped in with USPSA ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too big of a pain to get back if you let it expire so I always make certain to keep it current, just have to put up with answering the 20 USPSA questions to keep my Steel Challenge endorsement.

We are lobbying for an SC-only RO class. It could be done in 1 day vs the USPSA 2-day course. But as of right now that is not the case. So I have to take the 2 day class to get RO certified and then take a 2nd test just to get SC certification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BentAero Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Can't believe they still haven't pulled the plug on this debacle. I just checked and as of right now there are: 5 guns Friday AM 0 guns Friday PM 10 guns Sat AM 2 guns Sat PM 9 guns Sun. Total of 11 shooters...

BentAero Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I didn't include the wed/Thur shooters, as it's likely several of those have comp'd slots. Still, 69 guns at a major? Prize table should be for some nice pickin's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdawgbeav Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 i would bet that this would be better attended if they moved it to one of the winter months. There are hardly ever any majors in winter and you might get a decent amount of northern shooters wanting to escape the cold for a weekend...
