| Tuesday Night Steel is a competition with rules based loosely on the USPSA handbook. | |||||||||||||
| Expect 20-40 competitors, plan for 1-1/2 to 2 hours minimum at the range. Round count is generally held to less than 25 per stage, so there will be about 100 required hits to complete this match. | |||||||||||||
| Steel reactive targets are predominantly used throughout the four courses of fire presented for the competitor every Tuesday night. Scoring is time-based, with penalties of +5 seconds assessed for targets not engaged with the required number of hits or other procedural errors. Successful participants will compete based on their equipment being used (Open, Limited, Limited-10, Revolver) and their ability to execute the courses of fire in the match (Master-, A-, B-, C-, D-, class and Novice). | |||||||||||||
| Advancement through the classes is determined by the "3-win" rule - win your class three times, move up one class. Competitors may elect to move down one class on January 1st each year. | |||||||||||||
| The match is moderately physical with standing, sitting, squatting, leaning, and prone positions sometimes required to view the targets. In most cases, you will draw your gun from the holster and will reload from the belt. It is recommended to have at least three magazines, four if limited to 10 rounds or less. Participants are challenged by hundreds of different courses during the year, with posted course descriptions outlining required hits and shooting positions, leaving execution decisions up to the competitor. | |||||||||||||
| This is a "COLD RANGE" | |||||||||||||
| Come to the range with guns unloaded, in a bag or box | |||||||||||||
