ENPS Steel Challenge match on Jan 22nd...
JTH:
Just wanted to let everyone know that the first ENPS Steel Challenge match of the year will be on January 22nd (Sunday) at the Eastern Nebraska Gun Club. http://www.engc.us
For your information, we have decided to have six steel stages per match this year instead of five, so bring another 25 rounds of ammo! (Well, maybe a couple more if you think you might miss once or twice...)
We'll be shooting the official steel challenge stages in the five ENPS Steel matches this year, so you can take your stage times and compare them to national scores from previous SC competitions just to see if you would have beaten JJ Racaza or Rob Leatham. :)
Remember, we have both centerfire AND rimfire divisions, so if you don't feel like drawing from a holster, bring a rimfire pistol in a bag (and we have both optics and irons divisions) with some magazines, and have a good time along with the rest of us.
If you haven't shot it before, here is a video I made back at the end of 2010 right after we bought the official SC steel. Like I said, this year we'll be doing six stages instead of five, but this is what it'll look like:

That looks like a LOT of fun and addictive. Now if ammo wasn't so expensive..... and no, couldn't do the rimfire gig. guess it's a man thing. Give Ashley kudos for a job well done keeping focus on the problems she was having. Must have had a great instructor.

Actually, due to ammo prices (lots of people don't reload), we get tons of people (guys and girls) shooting rimfire. At the national competitions, lots of guys shoot rimfire also---you can REALLY smoke on speed with those, particularly if you have an optic on it.
Example from National---BJ Norris shooting his custom .22 Rimfire:
(Around here, we don't look like that when WE shoot. This is much more like what we look like: )
On average, about 57% of our SC shooters use the .22 route. Some have a .22 conversion for their regular pistols, but plenty just use a Buckmark or a Ruger 22/45.
Rich Simandl with his .22 Open gun smoked us all a number of times.
....so come try it out. :)

jthhapkito - man, you're givinging me the itch. Might come out and do the spectator gig, but knowing me, i'll would need bigger / better firearms and ammo, and like a lot of people, the home budget isn't what it used to be.

.22 rimfire on steel is a blast. I went to it due to ammo costs, plus I had rimfires sitting in the safe doing nothing. They needed the work :D. Got my oldest daughter into it as well, she has fun. Even shoots in the cold (as long as its not too bad). No holster needed is a plus as well. Just need reliable ammo, .22's are usually picky. I'm use CCI Mini-mags, never had misfire with them. You can use the cheap bulk stuff as well, normally works OK. Keep the gun clean so it will run. Come on out and give it a try.
