General Principles:

Steel Challenge scoring is simple: your time is your score!
Each stage consists of five targets, commonly referred to as plates. Four are standard plates, and the fifth is designated as the stop plate.
Each of the standard targets must be hit at least once before hitting the stop plate, and the time stops when the stop plate is hit. Competitors may fire as many rounds as they deem necessary for each string of fire. The worst string on each stage will be thrown out, and the total of the remaining times will be competitor’s score for that stage. All stages will be shot five times with the exception of "Outer Limits" which will be shot four times.
The maximum time allowed for an individual string is 30 seconds.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***NOTE***

*HSC is a COLD RANGE: All firearms will be kept UNLOADED except on the firing line under the direct supervision of a Match Officials.
*Gun handling at Safe tables only and must be brought to the firing line in a holster or case.
*Eye and ear protection is required for all shooters and spectators.
*Holsters: In general, holsters shall be mounted in the general vicinity of the waist, must cover the trigger, and must safely hold/retain the gun. All Centerfire handguns must be appropriate for holster use.
*HSC will allow "Low Ready" starts for Centerfire handguns (2 seconds added per run)
*Rimfire competition does not involve the use of a holster
*Each competitor is expected to come to the firing line ready to shoot, with an appropriate amount of ammunition in an appropriate number of magazines or speed-loaders or other loading devices.
*Minimum cartridge for centerfire competitions (38 Special, 9X19).
*Rimfire firearms must be .22 Long Rifle (.22LR) only
*Any ammunition deemed unsafe or likely to damage the targets will be removed from use
*Any standard plate which has not been hit before the stop plate will count as a Miss. Each Miss on a standard plate will result in a 3 (three) second penalty, added to the shooter’s time for that string.
*If the stop plate is not hit, the score for that string is 30 seconds

Looking forwrd to these, thanks. But why only four stages, the norm at a smaller match is 5. Last year you ran all 8, and it was a day to remember. I was hoping for the 8 stage match again.

The norm at Harvard is 4 stages...
Four stages works for a couple reasons.
There are 8 current stages. One month we shoot four stages and the next month the other four stages - that way over two matches you have a complete 8 stage match.

Typically after the morning match we offer an afternoon run so those who want to shoot a second gun can and those who don't can take off.
 
8 stages was a really long day. I really like the flexibility of the 4 stage matches. I can shoot a 2nd gun if I have time, or take off and have the afternoon for something else.

If I could add... resources and time are always limited. I like the format as it is. I hope to bring out the 617 as well as the Production gun this year. I'll surely help at the matches I can attend Paul.
 
Four stages with the opportunity of shooting a second gun is the way to go. I really enjoyed last season.
 
Hey Paul,

I'll be there, aloha. Will RO as well, if you want me. [wink]

TTFN,
