Big Azz Classifier and Steel Challenge Match - April 26th

[Franklin D Wolverton]

Well... we had to cancel our last two matches due to range conditions, so on April 26th we are going to hold BOTH a 6-stage special classifier AND an 8-stage steel challenge match at the Milan Rifle Club. Info is at www.milanpracticalshooting.com

Classifier Match is $20 (Reshoots $10)

Steel Challenge Match is $25

Shoot one, shoot both, shoot one twice, I don't care.

If you shoot them both, thats a total of 356 rounds for $45 folks.

Our Steel Challenge Stages are (centerfire pistols are limited to .45acp or .45LC):

Open (Open) - Any centerfire pistol with optic or electronic sites.

Limited (LTD) - Any centerfire pistol with iron sites (may shoot open if desired)

Open Sight Revolver (OSR) - Any double action only centerfire revolver with optic or electronic sites (may shoot Open if desired)

Iron Sight Revolver (ISR) - Any double action only centerfire revolver with iron sites (may shoot Open, OSR, or LTD if desired)

SASS Revolver - Any single action only centerfire revolver with iron sights (may shoot SAR only). SAR competitors may wear two pistols to the firing line. If the second pistol is needed, the first must be holstered before drawing the second.

BTT one last time... with more info...

Realizing that a lot of people may not have rimfire pistols, but most may have a rifle... I have added RMRI (Rimfire Rifle Iron Sights) and RMRO (Rimfire Rifle Optic Sights) to the available steel challenge divisions.

This would be the perfect division for those 10/22's you have laying around in the closet. 17hmr is also considered a rimfire round.

Since the rimfire pistols (and obviously rimfire rifles) aren't shot from the holster... we have to come up with a safe way of getting them to the line. My idea is to empty chamber indicators. This will be part of the "if clear hammer down and holster" command, for rimfire shooters it will be to if clear hammer down and install the ECI". The firearm must them be taken directly to their range bag or case.

It looks like it is going to be wet this weekend. But... I've canceled two matches already because of rain and/or range conditions... I'm not canceling another one. Bring your wet weather gear.

We will shoot in the rain. If lightning is in the area, the shoot will be suspended until it has passed.
