rgkeller Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 What is the start position when competing with a 22 lr pistol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) Lowered pistol, pointing at a flag in the middle of the course, 8 feet from your start position. The "elbows touching side" position is no longer required. Edited November 2, 2008 by kmca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Anybody know what to use for Non-big matches? We do monthly steel matches and no one wants to have to stake a flag out for a club match. Also, what are the rules on the safety? I've heard on or off to start.

DougCarden Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 We just paint a spot on the ground to point the muzzle at. I try to put it about 6-8ft from the box. I dont remember ever being told to put the safety on Piru, but I could be wrong.... DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 +1 what Doug does, except we use chalk powder for the spot. I believe I was told that the safety on rimfire is not required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireant Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 We use some orange cones. Very easy to set them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40S&W Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 We spray a white arc 8 ft. out. As far a I know, no safety on is the rule in local & steel challange matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Anybody know what to use for Non-big matches? We do monthly steel matches and no one wants to have to stake a flag out for a club match. Also, what are the rules on the safety? I've heard on or off to start. We allow either of two start potions (shooter's choice): - Gun and arms pointed down at a 45d angle, or - Elbows touching ribs. Finger outside the trigger guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slodsm Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I've always done safety off starts. We aren't required to keep finger out of the trigger guard after they ask "shooter ready" either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmd Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 From the new 2011 SCSA Rule book (March 2011): 5.2.3 In the Rimfi re Match, there will be an aiming point (fl ag or sign) centered downrange directly in front of each shooters box approximately 10’ away and 2’ high. One aiming point will be required for each shooting box used. The competitor while waiting for the start signal, must be pointing/aiming their gun at the fl ag/sign with the fi nger outside the trigger guard.

gng4life Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) We use orange cones that are about 1' high. I'll be looking around for some 2' tall cones to start putting out soon. Safety is off and finger outside the trigger guard. The old way stated that that a aiming point be 12' from the shooting box but now it's 10' out and 2' high.

It is, "providing or serving for the time being only; existing only until permanently or properly replaced; accepted or adopted tentatively; conditional; probationary. Since it is serving for the time being and adopted tentatively, that would lead a reasonable person to believe so. I will contact SCSA and see what they say...

Since I plan on going to the Challenge this August, it would be nice to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryShoots Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Anybody know what to use for Non-big matches? We do monthly steel matches and no one wants to have to stake a flag out for a club match. Also, what are the rules on the safety? I've heard on or off to start. I used to run a Steel Challenge monthly here in MI. We used big plastic 55 gal drums. You had to start with your muzzle touching it and it worked really well. Plus it gave you a spot to put all your mags, and the case for your pistol to "bag it up" after your run.

photoracer Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 We use shooting tables at our club. So the ready position for steel without drawing including rimfire is the barrel must be touching the table, no safety, and finger out of the trigger guard.
