Real Steel

Real Steel matches test your speed and accuracy with a handgun, using metal targets at 10 to 25 yards. At each of five stages, competitors will attempt to hit or knock down all of the plates in the shortest amount of time. Unlike the Metal Mania matches, there is not a Stop Plate and the competitor may continue to shoot until all targets are hit. The slowest time on each stage is dropped, and competitors are ranked within their class.

Match Dates

Matches are held the 4^th Sunday of every month, starting at 9:30 am. It is recommended you arrive approximately half an hour before the start time, so you can register and get your Range Officer assignment. Matches last about four hours.

Matches are currently scheduled for the following dates:

August 22, 2010
September 26, 2010
October 24, 2010
November 28, 2010

Additional Information

Both members and non-members are welcome to shoot in Real Steel matches. However, non-members are restricted to participating in the match and will not be allowed to shoot before or after the match, unless accompanied by a member in good standing.

Competitors shoot from within a box, ensuring everyone is the same distance from the targets. The starting position is pistol holstered, except for the novice class, which starts at the low ready position. For safety reasons, shoulder hosters are not allowed and all belt holsters must be positioned at the side of the hip.

Each stage is a minimum of 25 shots, so it is recommended that you bring at least 200 rounds of ammunition and 3 magazines. Bringing 6 magazines allows you to shoot the course without reloading and still have an extra magazine available if needed.
