Metal Mania

MetalMania1Welcome to Metal Mania. Observers are welcome to view this match. Non-members are welcome to participate in Metal Mania matches, however non-members are limited to participation in the match activity only, and are not allowed to shoot either before, or after a match unless accompanied by a member as their guest.

The Metal Mania match tests your speed and accuracy with a handgun using metal target arrays placed between 10 & 25 yards from the shooter. At each of five stages, competitors will attempt to hit (mark), or knock down all of the steel plates in the shortest amount of time. Competitors will shoot from within a box ensuring everyone is the same distance from the targets. The starting position is pistol holstered with arms raised in surrender position, except for Low Ready shooters (defined further below), which start pointing at a designated aiming plate. Each of the 5 stages are shot with 5 runs/strings for a minimum of 25 shots per stage with the slowest time for each stage dropped from scoring. No single run shall exceed 30 seconds unless specifically designated. It is recommended that you bring at least 200 rounds of ammunition, and a minimum of 3 or more magazines which will allow you to shoot all 5 stage strings without the need to stop to reload. *Hitting a designated Stop Plate anytime during a course of fire immediately ends that run/string regardless of how many other plates have been hit or not. **Only DPC approved holsters for competition are allowed (listed further below). ***Guns must be carried between stages in a box, rug, bag, or an allowed holster.
