STEEL CHALLENGE at ATLANTA C.C. 17MY2014

[G7.]

IS ON !

Last I checked, there is a 20% chance of precip. I am fairly sure that means we will get rain on Bay #2, but the other 4 bays will be dry.

We will be using the back side this month, including a long stage on Bay 8 called "The Speed of Sound".

If you would like to download PractiScore to your iPhone or Android, we might mess around with that some this month. ACC also has some tablets.

See you Saturday,

G7

This year we have been starting set-up at 8:30, instead of 8:00.

I made up a new stage while mowing the lawn today :: "Slide, Clyde". It has nothing to do with lawns or mowing.

See you tomorrow.

In! Bringing a new shooter as well.

It's been awhile since I took 465 to HY31, how bad is the construction? Since I'm riding my bike don't mine taking a detour.

 

[pack-indy]

Id take 465 to 69 to SR37 and head north from there.

 

[G7.]

The standard SCSA stages will be 5 to Go and Showdown.

SCORES POSTED

Scores are up -- here ::

Atlanta Conservation Club: SCSA Scores

Saturday was the perfect day for a match. (I'm sure most would say that Sunday would have been perfect-er... But, not me. I like it cold.)

MMM, in case anyone notices the new division, is short for Micro Mini Mousegun. (I have a Freedom Arms 5-shot 22 that I like to shoot. It has a 1-inch bbl, and weighs about 4 oz, as near as I can tell.) To get a score for it, I shot one string, and multiplied by 4.
If you have an NAA 22, and want to shoot it, let me know, maybe we could do 2 strings, drop the worst, and x4.

Thanks again to the RO's -- Dan, Mike W., Dale S., Mark S., and Aaron & JD Oz.

Also major kudos to Bill S. and Dale for tear-down and put-up !!!

Thanks,
How much ammo does one need? Shooting production..

 

[G7.]

That depends on how much you miss . . . But that said, bare minimum is 125 (clean match - only been done twice, by the same guy) up to around 300 (if you are going too fast). Like a lot of matches -- bring too much and take the extra back home with you. Bring 300 rounds, and see how that works for you.

Out of curiosity... How many stages, and how many strings per stage?

 

[hps]

Im really interested in doing this but have only shot steel at MCFG in Indy.
MCFG does not draw from a holster at their steel matches will I have to do this (holster draw) at this event?
trying to figure out what I need to do to compete at this steel challenge.

All the rimfire divisions are low ready start.


You do not have to draw from the holster in the "GSSF" division for centerfire guns. GSSF here means "Go Shoot Steel Fast." It's a division setup to just come out and play without having to buy a holster, or for people that would like to try it out but aren't quite ready to be drawing a gun on the clock.


The other centerfire divisions like limited, open, and production are "from the holster" starts.

5 stages, and usually 5 strings, of which the best 4 count. Sometimes, best 3 of 4 if there is movement or other oddness.
