Steel Challenge

Steel Challenge

Steel Challenge matches at Central Alabama Gun Club are held on the second Saturday of the month. The cost of each match is $20 per shooter. Set-up begins Friday at 3:00 PM Central. Coming out to help set up is a great way to familiarize yourself with the stages and meet people. It gives us a chance to talk “shop” as we work. A shooters meeting is held at 9:45 AM and shooting begins at 10:00 AM. We generally shoot five to six stages each month. Register at Practiscore or Saturday morning.

Steel Challenge matches are family friendly and, unlike many shooting sports, entertaining for spectators. Speed is everything. However, that doesn’t mean that it is for advanced shooters only. The steel match is one of the best ways to introduce new shooters to the fun of shooting sports. There is little movement involved and it can be shot with rimfire pistols or rifles. As long as the shooter understands and follows the four rules of gun safety, they can join us. Hopefully, they’ll find it as addictively fun as the rest of us do.

We’re having a lot of fun and hope to see you at the range soon.

Four Rules of Safe Gun Handling

  1. All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
  2. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy. (For those who insist that this particular gun is unloaded, see Rule 1.)
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
  4. Identify your target, and what is behind it. Never shoot at anything that you have not positively identified.
