On Saturday,
May 5th we will be hosting a Falling Steel match (similar to
the PSA Shootout) at York Izaak Walton.
- The match will consist of 4 stages, 25-35 targets per
stage. 100-140 rounds total. (but you better bring a lot more, like twice as many)
- The match fee is $20 per time slot.
- All knockdown steel will be used.
- Squads will be limited to 10 shooters per squad (40 shooters per
time slot).
- You may shoot in two divisions; however, you must shoot in
two different time slots.
- You may shoot the same division twice (once in the am and once in the pm)
- You may only enter once per time slot (either as a single or
partner).
- You may shoot as “Single” meaning you shoot by yourself, or as
“Team” meaning you and another shooter will be shooting each stage
simultaneously. In theory each teammate only has half the targets,
and each teammate only pays half the entry fee.
There will be a more serious version of this match September 29th and
30th. Applications for this match will be out within a
day or two of this matches completion.
My personal opinions:
- Team is more fun than individual.
- Carbine is a riot.
- This is a great gateway match, for those looking to get into
something more serious.
- This is awesome to bring your non-competitive buddies, kids, or
wives to. Team up with them and show them how to have a blast.
