SHOOTING EQUIPMENT
- GUN - Any semi-automatic handgun that is in safe working condition. Revolvers are welcome but if shooting a revolver please be aware of the number of rounds we will be shooting on this week's course of fire. You will need to be able to reload your revolver quickly.
- BELT/HOLSTER - Optimally we would like you to shoot from a holster. However, we understand that some of our attendees may not be comfortable drawing from a holster yet and that is ok. If you prefer, you can start from the low ready position.
- EXTRA MAGAZINES - Some of our exercises include reloading the gun so we do suggest you have at least one extra magazine for your gun.
- EYE & EAR PROTECTION - All attendees must wear any time range is hot.
ROUNDS NEEDED
- 100 rounds - Preferred round calibers for Steel Challenger are 22LR and 9mm but most handgun calibers are welcome.
SKILL FOCUS
- Grip, sight alignment, trigger, drawing from holster, target transition.
SHOOTER SKILL LEVEL
- All shooters are welcome; however, we do expect that you have a good understanding of gun safety, a safe gun handling mindset, you are comfortable loading / unloading your firearm and manipulating the slide.
If you don't feel you meet this level please contact Rex Roberson, 719-221-9154, prior to attending the shoot.
THIS WEEKS COURSES OF FIRE
Don't be discouraged by the complexity of this course. The idea here is to get comfortable moving from target array to target array and transitioning from one target to the next. This is not a competition so don't worry about shooting fast.
You will shoot 15+ rounds on this course and perform a mandatory reload so you will need more than one magazine.
Written Stage Brief
Start position will be toes touching the center of the rear barrier facing downrange. If shooting from a holster, hands will be below the belt line. If starting from low ready, the muzzle will be pointed at a cone marker.
On the start signal, engage targets as visible from within the shooting area with the specified number of shots. Targets may be engaged in any order. You must reload at least once during the course of fire.
Paper targets require two hits, steel plates must fall.
I look forward to seeing you there. Please reach out if you have any questions.
