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.

*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

Just wanted to post a follow up here....
Yes it appears Stage 1 and stage 4 were a tad mixed up, we all shot the same stages so at least the
scoring was right[slap]
Promise I'll do better next match [thumbsup]

I want to thank all those who helped out this past match and added kudo's to your RO's Al, Don,
the 2 Matts, Jason, Betsy, Dan, Jeff, Brent, Ramon, and Frank.
Added props to Natalie (hope I spelled that right) and Mike for the stats, and I apologize for anyone I missed.

And a big thanks to those who stayed for the 2nd gun and helped tear down all the stages.

Thank you to all who said thanks to me, I appreciate it but also know it takes all of you folks to make this happen.

See you next month,
DaveP
 
And also, a HUGE thank you goes out to Jon H. for setting up the steel. (can't believe I missed him above so he gets his own post)
Jon didn't get to shoot the match but was there before my 7:30 arrival and had 3-4 of the stages set up !
He finished up with some help from Al S.

Thanks again.
