What is a...
"Pistol Steel Shoot?"

Pistol Steel Shoots consist of 3 courses of fire. In pit #1, we have the “Man-on-man” steel rack stage set up. This involves 2 shooters simultaneously shooting at a steel plate rack, a small popper, and a race to the large popper in the middle of the course.

In pit #2 we set up a United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) style course of fire. Here shooters engage several cardboard and steel targets from differing points on the course. This course of fire tests your ability to shoot on the move and forces shooters to strategize about how to best shoot the course of fire. In this pit we often utilize either the Texas Star and/or the Irish Plate rack, two fairly difficult (but fun) moving steel targets.

In pit #3 we set up Steel Challenge (SCSA) courses of fire. SCSA is a competitive shooting organization with 8 total possible courses of fire. Every few weeks we rotate the course of fire, setting up 1 of the 8 SCSA courses of fire for shooters to practice on. Shooters shoot 3 individually timed strings (3 magazines required) each time they shoot the course of fire.

The cost of attending this event is $10

• We recommend bringing 150 - 200 rounds of ammunition to either of these events.

• All events are held on a "cold range" and absolutely no loaded firearms should be brought to these events. Firearms will be loaded under the supervision and instruction of the range officers running the event.

• Working from the holster and performing magazine/cylinder reloads can be performed by those who have completed the 8hr IPSC safety briefing. All others are required to work from low ready, cannot perform reloads during shooting, and are required to bring a suitable gun bag or gun box which will be used by the shooter to bring their firearm to the firing line, in, rather than a holster.
