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

Hey Paul,

I am in for R.O and set up!
From the way it looks my sqaud is going to be very large
Matt might RO with me if his new girl friend lets him!!![laugh2]
see you sat morning

Jon
 
I was hoping to actually get to the last one of the season, which would be the first one ever for me. unfortunately this Sat morning is soccer practice for one then directly to ballet class for the other.

have fun ringin that steel!
 
I will be there, although I said that last match I had to deal with life issues unexpected instead. So expect me this time :)
 
I would love to be there, trying to work it into my scheduled. I've been holding a grudge against those plates since doing so awful last time!
 
Hey SJan,

I can hear those plates laughing at me, too. [rofl]

See you Saturday,
"Point Blank" Frank
:cool:
 
CT Steel Shooters will be there , for afternoon and tear down too.... would not miss it. Looks like great weather!
 
That depends on you.... no pressure. She was close last time. You are the best at rimfire pistol so having her compete against you is better than beating me everytime.
 
Great thanks to all that made for a great day today . Thanks to all the RO's. A special one to Paul I know it's a tremendous amount of work not only setting and running it but the scoring after. Look forward to next years
 
Mike, it's just money. A young person or spouse that shares your interest is priceless.

I know Dan, you're right. I could use it as an excuse to buy a 1050 [wink]. My wife has shot a couple of IDPA matches and has enjoyed helping out at some sanctioned matches. She's been busy with school work lately. My stepson has enjoyed the last two steel challenge matches with the .22 ruger. I think he has the muzzle & trigger discipline along with the initial competition jitters down. Today he said he wanted to try some IDPA or USPSA. I'm going to work with him on drawing from a holster, reloading, movement, and centerfire recoil. I'm going to try to get him ready for the next Harvard USPSA match.
