STEEL CHALLENGE MATCH - Harvard Sportsmen's Club
Saturday, July 16, 2016

START TIME: 9:30am squadded

Main match $15.00 (first gun) -
Fun Run (2nd gun if time permits after Main match) $5.00 .
Juniors (18 and under) shoot first gun for free - 2nd gun $5.00 (All competitors 18 and under must be accompanied by their parent or guardian throughout the competition).


Five Stages:

Speed Option
Roundabout
Five to Go
Accelerator
HSC Outlaw stage.



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 - the Match Director/Range Master has the final say.
*Appendix Draw and Drawing from Concealment is not allowed at the HSC SCCA matches.
*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.
*PCC (see notes below)
*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


PCC will be allowed at HSC Steel Challenge Matches on a Provisional basis.
See USPSA Appendix D8 for PCC rules

The primary web address is uspsa.org, but they have the .com registered as well because this is a common misunderstanding.

I haven't yet been to an HSC match this year (too many damn weddings and trips). Is Carry Optics not an option for some reason, or was it omitted from this list by mistake?

If this was a sanctioned match, be sure to post to www.steelchallenge.com so that the results will count for classification.
Rob, we've been uploading for about a year. We started shortly after practiscore and SC worked out the handshake. I usually wait a couple of days to see if there are any corrections first and then Paul pays the activity fees.

Cool - that explains why I didn't see it on the SC web site. Thank.
 
Thanks Paul -
Fun First Challenge match.
Not to worry, I am saving a space for you down the road..
