I'm contemplating doing this for the first time. I read the rules and requirements but I didn't see anything about ammo and a power-factor. Is that something that's taken into consideration, or is it kinda assumed you're gonna need something with knockdown power and light-loads don't really apply?
Factory 9mm has enough power to knock down all the steel, If you reload, 125 power factor will work just fine. 125 is a pretty soft .45 acp load. Unlike USPSA or IDPA, there is no chrono stage. Steel falls really easily, you don't need a killer load like you would for pins. Whatever load you decide to shoot, bring 300 and have a blast.
The big poppers are calibrated with a factory 9mm in the round section, the rest of the plates will go over easy with 9mm if your in the vicinity of minor PF

I'm hiding my grief well[sad2]. No point in putting it out there for the world to see
Great! I was planning on using my duty Glock 22 and I have some lighter target reloads I planned on using.
Side question - What is the table-to-target distance? Looking from the 2009 pictures it looks like it's roughly 7-10 yds.

What happens if you're from Mass???? I don't think they're Mass compliant (bummer if true)

If you win one, I'll take it OK?
Worry about nothing. If you win it I'll laser etch -->Mass Compliant<-- on the side of the slide. That should work!

Funny, guys. Good thing I luv you all!
Just letting everyone know that registrations are still open for the match. Someone told me they thought there were no more openings but this is not so. The deadline of July 19 was only for a t-shirt to be included with your entry. We still have openings so get your entry forms in soon.

Thanks to Jim and his crew for staffing the Walls of Steel Stage at the John Kelly Memorial Practical Shooting Match. It was an awesome stage and I heard a ton of positive feedback about it. Hopefully we can have some folks who shot at the JK come down for the Walls of Steel match - if you thought that one stage was great you would really enjoy shooting the whole match.
Regards,
John

I'll be there again this year. You guys put on an excellent event. I had an awesome time last year. See you on Friday with my two blasters.
BTW should the shotguns be brought out again for a side match?

I'm in, I can't wait. I'll be shooting in the Saturday morning session. After shooting in the "mini" Walls of Steel match I can't wait to get another crack at that damn dueling tree. I don't know why I have no problem shooting steel left to right, or right to left but as soon as I have to shoot up and down I crash and burn.
I can't wait...
-Cuz.
