Steel Challenge

The Steel Challenge is a speed shooting competition that consists of several standardized stages with steel targets in three sizes; small circular, large circular and square targets. Competitors are scored solely by the time it takes them to complete each stage, and the match winner is the competitor with the lowest overall time.

The match draws top shooters from a broad spectrum of shooting sports, including USPSA, IDPA, SASS, GSSF and others. The event generates international attention, accompanied by broad newspaper and television coverage, even in California.

The match is highly spectator-friendly and the competition is easy to understand – it is all about the speed. And by maintaining consistent challenges from year to year, the competition lends itself to the notion of setting – and breaking – speed records, which greatly adds to the excitement for shooters, spectators and media.

Steel shooting offers a port of entry to the shooting sports that is far less intimidating than practical shooting. Steel shooting provides an excellent starting place for young or beginning shooters. It also provides a soft way for those who have begun to suffer the problems associated with ageing a vehicle to remain involved in the shooting sports. All this provides an alternative for those who might otherwise be lost to shooting.

Our matches are held on the first Saturday of every month at the pistol ranges, and will generally consist of 6 stages.

The fee schedules are as follows:

• Members – $8.00
• Non-Members: – $10.00
• 14 years old and under – FREE

Match start time is 9:00 am.  Please show up early to help set up, and stay a little while after the match to help break down.

We’ll see you at the next match!
