shooting steel

[-JQ-]

I shot a local club's Friday night Steel match on Friday evening here in SW Ohio. It was a bunch of fun and I ran into a few of the local fast-guys from the local ispc/USPSA matches.

I think it will really impact my first shot on target as well as transitions...where I really need help. You get the choice of pre-shoot positions (i.e., hands at sides, surrender, or low ready) Since I need the speed, I chose hands at sides/holstered.

The best part was that the match was only $5...that coupled with shooting cheaper ammo (9mm)...I think this is going to be on my regular plan for improvement.

My finish wasn't spectacular...middle of the pack...but it was much fun

ymmv

I started shooting local steeel matches a few months ago and I agree, it's great practice. It's also highly addictive. slugs hitting those plates sounds better than about anything I can think of, even the ice cream truck.

Yep...one of the reasons I tend to love the plate rack at practice...nothing like the sound of lead slamming home!
