You could look at the possible stages on the Steel Challenge website HERE.  You can also find the SC rules there.


--- Quote ---General Principles: Steel Challenge scoring is simple: your time is
your score!

Each stage consists of fi ve targets, commonly referred to as plates.  Four are standard plates, and the fi fth is designated as the stop plate.  Each of the standard targets must be hit at least once before hitting the stop plate, and the time stops when the stop plate is hit. Competitors may fi re as many rounds as they deem necessary for each 9 string of fi re. The worst string on each stage will be thrown out, and the total of the remaining times will be competitor’s score for that stage. See Appendix E for stage descriptions, set-up diagrams and specified procedures for each stage. 

The total of a competitor’s stage scores will be his score for the match. Total score for all stages will determine the order of finish for final standings.

Hope that gives you an idea, but the details are on the website and in the rules.

I had the same Q's so I emailed a couple of ppl and ended up calling the match dir. Hope you see this before tomorrow, see y'all there. Here is the response I got from jthapkido:

Well, there are six stages---so if you never miss, you'll need 150 rounds.  (Five shots per string, five strings per stage.)  That being said, most people miss more than once, so I'd probably suggest bringing at least 200 rounds, if not 250 just in case.  :)  

If you are shooting centerfire, you'll need a decent holster.  (Centerfire draws from the holster on each string.)  If shooting rimfire, no holster is needed, but you will need a decent bag in which to keep your gun when you are not on the line.  In both cases, the more magazines you have, the easier it will be.  If you have five mags, that works best.  if you don't, make sure to arrange with someone to load your used mags for you as you shoot the stage, to keep things going.

Setup starts around 7:30am, registration ends at 8:40, and the new shooter briefing is at 8:40.   Shooter's meeting at 9, with shooting starting right after that.  If you get there early, you can help set up, ask questions, take a look at the stages, and have plenty of time to make sure you know what is going on.

Steel Challenge is a good time---have fun!
