WHAT IS STEEL CHALLENGE?

Questions about Steel Challenge? Contact the Match Director at Steel@ccgci.org

Shooting a Steel Match is all about how fast you can hit 5 steel targets from a stationary position (no running, kneeling or lying down). You will do this five times per stage while being timed. Only your four fastest times count. You may shoot the steel targets in any order except for the Stop Plate, which must be hit last. The stop plate is identified by a red mounting post. 

There are only eight designated set ups for this challenge series as shown below. We can also have optional wildcard set ups that will not count towards a steel challenge "ranks" but could be a fun club level competition. CCGCI is not affiliated with Steel Challenge Shooting Association at this time, but we will incorporate their match disciplines.
