STEEL CHALLENGE MATCH - Harvard Sportsmen's Club

Five Stages:

Showdown
Outer Limits
HSC Outlaw Stage
Pendulum
Smoke & Hope



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

Fell last Sunday and badly broke my big left toe - "open compound fracture". The main bone in the toe was broken in two (2) places, requiring surgery, and . . . well, I'll just leave the rest to your imagination. Now have a pin in place holding bone alignment. Tough to shoot and RO with a "walking boot". Will be back for the next match, tho'. Pics on request (not for the faint of heart!). [crying]

Get well soon Frank! No need for pictures. [grin]
 
Ouch, Frank. Take care.

I can't make this match either, but for less painful reasons than Frank.

Thanks for everyone who came out to shoot with us today. Practiscore seems to be having some issues with their website. I'll post a link once I successfully get them posted.

OK it looks they posted. Results are up!

Great match today, thanks guys. Glad to get back out.

Apparently I wasn't thinking this morning as I almost ran out of ammo. I left the match with 1 round left! Crazy. I think I was thinking of IDPA round counts this morning....cut it way too close.
