Steel Challenge is back!

We are going to host a Steel Challenge at our club on Sunday, April 22nd. Steel Challenge is a simple to shoot (not necessarily easy to master) sport wndhere you may use pistols, revolvers, or pistol caliber carbines that are iron sighted or scoped, and rimfire or centerfire calibers.  It is far less complicated than USPSA or 3 Gun and that makes it a great sport for newer shooters.  You may view the official rules and stages at
We will use the official rules, and shoot the 8 stages listed in the linked pdf, but allowances may be made for youth, as this is not an official match.

Acceptable calibers include 22lr (no hyper velocity) 9mm, 38 special, 40 S&W, and 45 ACP in either pistols or carbines.  Others may be allowed with prior approval.  No bottle neck calibers will be allowed.  No steel jacketed or core bullets will be allowed.

There will be 2 shooting times 9:00 and 12:00.  At 9:00 we will shoot the stages Roundabout, Outer Limits, Smoke & Hope, and Five to Go.  At 12:00 we will shoot the stages Showdown, Speed Option, Pendulum, and Accelerator.  You may shoot one time slot for $20, or both time slots for $30.

Divisions include:
ISP – Iron sighted centerfire pistol – Start from holster
OPN – Optically sighted centerfire pistol – Start from holster

RFPI – Iron sighted rimfire pistol
RFPO - Optically sighted rimfire pistol

PCCI – Pistol Caliber Carbine with iron sights
PCCO – Pistol Caliber Carbine with optics

RFRI – Rimfire rifle with iron sights
RFRO – Rimfir rifle with optics

If you would like to shoot this match please email us at yorksignup@gmail.com and tell us your name, division, am, pm or both, and anyone you wish to be squadded with.  You should receive a confirmation email within a day or two.

The day of the match we will meet at the back gate at least 20 minutes prior to your start time to get everyone registered and paid, and do the match briefing.

There will not be time to leave the range between am and pm time slots.  Please bring food and beverages for lunch.

Please do not sign up if you’re not sure you can make it, and if you have to drop out do so well in advance.  Slots are limited and we want to support as many shooters as possible this year.  Repeat no-shows will not be invited back.

Remember, this is not an official Steel Challenge match and scores will not count towards your classification, and no prizes will be awarded.

Can we shoot more than one gun?

Not at this time. We want as many different people as possible to have the opportunity to shoot. If it doesn't fill up we will allow it. We are holding the number of shooters to 40 each time slot.
