Attention Pistol/PCC Shooters!

A Steel Challenge will be held at Battlefield Shooting Range (directions) in Collinsville, MS, on September 14th. In this turn-based competition, shooters will shoot a series of stages three times each for the quickest average time using either pistol or pistol-caliber carbine (PCC). Each stage will be a short stage of around 5 steel plates…as a result, unlike many competition styles these stages can be effectively approached using revolvers not chambered in magnum calibers.

Registration will begin at 8:30AM with an entry fee of $20 for non-members and $10 for members to compete in a single category, with an additional $10 fee to compete in both categories. A basic safety briefing will begin at 9AM with the competition to follow. Equipment requirements include eye & ear protection, a holstered pistol and/or slung PCC of caliber 9mm or greater with at least two magazines and sufficient ammunition for multiple runs. Magazine holders are recommended.

Barring inclement weather we look forward to seeing everyone there! If you’ve been before, we hope you can make it again; if you’ve never been, you are welcome to come! If you just want to check it out, just bring eye and ear protection. Please feel free to share this to everyone you think will be interested, and be sure to check periodically for any updates. Competition can help evaluate and sharpen gun-handling skills, so we hope to see as many people participate as possible.

Mark your calendar for a special shoot on October 12th!
