Steel Plate Match
Come to shoot your 22 long rifle handgun, your center-fire handgun, or both.
Cost $8.00 per gun.

This will be a Steel Challenge type match. There will be two stages to the match. In each stage the shooter will come to the firing line to shoot 6 times at a bank of 5 steel plates at various distances from the shooter. The score will be the time that it takes the shooter to hit all 5 plates, as determined by an electronic timer. The best 4 times will be counted as the final score.
In one stage there will be 4 ten inch plates and one 12 inch plate. The 12 inch plate is a stop plate, this plate must be the last plate shot in each of the 6 timed runs. The second stage will have four 18 by 24 inch plates and one round 12 inch plate
If any plate is not hit before the stop plate is hit this will result in a 5 second per missed plate penalty.
Minimum rounds needed = 60. Plan on 120-200 rounds.
Starting position for each run will be the Low Ready Position. The Low Ready Position is the gun loaded, safety off, finger outside of the trigger guard, and arms at approximately a 45 degree angle to the ground.
If shooting a center-fire handgun you have the option of starting with the gun in a holster, safety on, hands in the surrender position and draw on the start signal. Drawing from a holster will result in 0.6 of a second deducted from your time on each run. If you are not good at drawing from a holster, you will be better off starting in the Low Ready Position.
An accidental discharge into the ground or over the berm at any time will result in a disqualification of the shooter for the rest of the match with no refund.
Any 22 rim-fire or center-fire handgun may be used, no rifle caliber or magnum ammunition allowed. There will be four possible classes of guns in use, iron sighted 22, optically sighted 22, iron sighted center-fire, and optically sighted center-fire. If there are shooters in all 4 classes, the high shooter in each class will be paid if there are at least two shooters in the class.
Prizes will be approximately 50% of the entry fees.

22 Rimfire Pistol and Rifle Steel Plate Match
Come to shoot your 22 rim-fire handgun and your 22 rim-fire rifle.
Cost $8.00.

This match will start with the shooter sitting at a shooting bench with his 22 handgun and 22 rifle loaded, safety on, and pointed down range laying on the tale. The guns will be loaded at the bench only when authorized by the range officer. We request that shooters who are physically able to do so, go forward after their firearms have been cleared and reset the targets for the next shooter.
The targets will be eight steel plates for the handgun and eight steel plates for the rifle. The plates must be knocked over, not just hit. A small bonus target may be added to either or both tables. Successfully knocking down the bonus target will result in 3 seconds being deducted from your time for each bonus target knocked down.
The pistol targets will be set up approximately 45 to 50 feet from the shooter. The rifle targets will be set up as close to the berm as possible. This will be approximately 90 to 100 feet from the shooter.
The shooter will come to the firing line to shoot 6 times. The score will be the time that it takes the shooter to knock over all of the targets, as determined by an electronic timer. The best 5 times will be counted as the final score.
If any plate is not knocked down before the shooter is finished will result in a 5 second per missed plate penalty.

Minimum rounds needed = 54 per gun, 108 total minimum. Plan on 200-300 rounds.
.
An accidental discharge into the ground or over the berm at any time will result in a disqualification of the shooter for the rest of the match with no refund.
