The Match

We typically shoot 3 stages for a match. Each stage is shot five (5) times with the four (4) best scores on the stage being counted. The steel plates will be from 10 to 25 yards away and maybe shot in any order as long as the designated stop plate is hit last. Makeup shots on missed plates are allowed.

Scoring

A shooters time begins when the timer beeps and ends with the last shot hits the stop plate. The maximum time for any sting of fire is 20 seconds. The time in seconds is the score.

A 3 second penalty will occur for any plates not hit after the stop plate is shot. A 3 second penalty may occur if the shooter shoots before the timer beeps.

Starting Position

Centerfire and open handguns start with a holstered firearm and the shooter’s hands in the surrender position.

Rim fire classes and PPC firearms start at the low ready position aimed at a designated point.

If the shooter or safety officer feel it would be safer for all involved, centerfire or open class shooters may start at the low ready position.
