Thanks to a grant from the NRA Foundation, The Rod & Gun Club of New Bedford started hosting Steel Challenge matches in 2010. We will have our second ever Steel Challenge match on December 12, 2010, expected to be 5 stages. You will need a minimum of 125 per entry (you should bring 200 per). Registration open until 9:25am, shooting starts at 9:30am.
Initial entry: $15
Re-entry: $10 for second gun
You can enter up to two times if you like, but you can enter in specific division only once. No armor piercing ammo allowed! You must register for all divisions before the match starts. Second entries will be shot after the completion of the first entries.

Rimfire pistol, Rimfire rifle and Pistol Caliber Carbine start from the low-ready. All other divisions start from a holster. If you don’t have a holster, you can still play, you will just be assessed a small time penalty (1 second per run) to make up for it.
Steel Challenge is lots of fun, involves very little or no movement, great for kids (as long as they are safe and have good gun handling skills - parent or guardian must be present). Shooters of all skill levels will enjoy this sport, from the most basic novice to the most experienced grand masters. New shooters welcome, as are spectators. Everyone on the range must wear eye and ear protection at ALL TIMES.
