Chills1994 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Hi everyone, I live in the St. Louis area, so I will be shooting the Pro Am Steel match at the Arnold and Rifle and Pistol Club in May '07. I just got a PM back from DougC (Doug Carden) about the Big Dawgs Steel match in Iowa. Besides the big Steel Challenge match that Michael Bane does coverage on through his show the Shooting Gallery, what other large steel matches are there? Thanks!

mwx40x40 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I know it's short notice and I am not sure what you consider a "Big" Match, but the Georgia State Steel Challenge Championship is this weekend in Griffin Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know....darn! And one other silly newb question: Is there a governing body for steel matches? Or does each one set up it's own set of rules based loosely on whatever?

mlmiller1 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 The American Handgunner in Montrose Co is an all steel match along with the warmup match The Winchester Challenge. Has drawn in recent years @150 shooters. The Winchester is one day, approx round count 700rds. The Handgunner is 3-4 days, round count limited only by your success. http://www.sanjuanrange.com. It is a lot of fun & a very nice place for a vacation. This year the match is in early July. If you like steel & love shooting, this is a real kick!

Flexmoney Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Is there a governing body for steel matches? Steel Challenge matches and matches like the Big Dawg and the PSA Shootout are different types of matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Yep, we are all "OUTLAW" matches..... We pretty much blantanly copied most of the same rules and regs from the PSA since they have nailed what is needed(with permission of course) The PSA has pretty much set the bar really high for a quality steel match that is set up for the shooters, and that is what we have tried to duplicate! Jeff LaFave (Barretone) spoke of a possible steel match in his neck of the woods as well, so stay tuned for that if he is able to set one up in Michigan as well. Still loading ammo for steel matches as we type...... DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmd Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) Pioneer Sportsman Club in Dunbarton, NH is holding the NewEngland Steel Challenge Championships on July 28 -29. (I think it's the same weekend as the Big Dawgs match in Lowel, Iowa). Trophies in all divisions + Leatherslap side match. Sanctioned by SCSA as a Regional level match. Here's there link - http://www.pioneersportsmen.org/steelchallenge.html Edited February 24, 2007 by pmd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 "Steel Challenge" matches are organized by the SCSA, which has it's web home over on http://www.steelchallenge.com. There are a lot of others with different or no governing bodies.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinblasteroh Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 There is also a steel match like PSA on June 9th and 10th near Columbus, Ohio at http://www.briarrabbit.com/. Last year there was around 40 to 50 shooters as it was just the first year. They had a few guns to give away and a lewis class cash payback system. The owner of the range has been putting alot of time and effort into building more steel. I also know though this match is the same weekend as the World class of steel in New Jersey. Last year I went to Jersey and shot on friday and saturday and then came back saturday night to shoot this match on Sunday so it was a long weekend. If you are around ohio and want a steel match Briar Rabbit is the place to go. If you have any questions just ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
