ENPS Steel Challenge Match, February 19th 2017
JTH:
The second ENPS Steel Challenge match of 2017 is scheduled for February 19th! 6 official stages, only $15. (And this is the last SC match in this area that you get before the SC Championship in April, so make sure you come out and run it!)
Match registration: https://practiscore.com/enps-february-2017-steel-challenge-match/register
Got a .22 pistol? .22 rifle? Pistol-caliber carbine? Centerfire handgun with a safe strong-side OWB holster that covers the trigger guard? At least three magazines (though 5 is really preferred)?
Then you are good to go! (Don't need a holster for the .22 pistol, by the way.)
Come out and give it a try! If you don't know what we are talking about, take a look at the Intro to Steel Challenge post in this subforum. (And make sure to take a look at the Safety Rules and Procedures post also.)
Important Note: Everyone must be in line by 8:30AM at the latest or you will not be allowed to shoot! Please do not show up late! We do not want to turn people away but we will have to if you are late.
Sign up now!
Match Schedule:
* Registration and Stage Setup starts at 7:30AM (please come help!)
* Registration closes promptly at 8:30AM. If you are not in line by 8:30AM, you will not be allowed to shoot the match! We will, as always, do our best to accommodate squadding requests but your chances are exponentially better at getting those requests fulfilled if you register online or show up very early on match day.
* Safety and New Shooter briefing at 8:40AM in bay 5
* Shooter's Meeting at 9:00AM, shooting starts immediately after.
Matches are run under the current official Steel Challenge Rules.
See you at the range!
(If you haven't signed up for the Steel Challenge Championship yet, head over to the ENPS website and take a look at the SC Championship webpage. Registration links, payment links, matchbook---it is all there!)

Dear PCC Guru,
When bagging/unbagging the rifle shootin' iron, what is the best way to perform the procedure w/o muzzling the hand controlling the bag?
I do not want to incur the wrath of The RO should I ever manage to make it to one of these matches.
Maybe that's my assignment tonight. Learn to safely bag an AR shootin' iron.
JTH:
Well, there is the easy way (which, quite frankly, is obviously nothing we'd expect people to actually DO, since it is easy), or the other easy way.
:)
(Note: The techniques in the video are straightfoward, and I'm serious about them, but obviously I'm not serious in what I'm SAYING. Nobody go ballistic about that, k?)
But seriously, if it is a bag like the first version, just set it on the ground or the table, open it up with the gun pointing downrange, and lift the gun out. If it is a sheath-type bag like the second one, unzip it far enough so that when you pull the gun out far enough to lift it free of the bag, the muzzle is still forward of your support hand. When putting it back do the same thing.

:) A video for everything. :) Is your video device water cooled? :) Thanks!
JTH:
Watching that video, I can't believe how many times I said "obviously."
Obviously, I wasn't paying much attention. In my defense, I just braced a camera on a book, pointed it down the hallway, started talking, edited in the open and closing slides, and there we go....
In general, just make sure the gun (of any type, people are notoriously bad with pistols in this fashion, and it gets them DQed in matches) is pointed DOWNRANGE when you open the bag/box, and then don't sweep yourself as you pull the gun out or put it back, and you'll be fine.
