Steel Challenge 2025

To HRGAC Steel Challenge enthusiasts:

Time to begin prepping those Steel Challenge guns for the 2025 season! 

2024 Steel Challenge schedule and the HRGAC Steel Challenge rules. 
Please read them as there are some subtle changes.

Frozen Fingers (FF) will be run similar to what was done in previous years - .22 Rimfire pistol or rifle. The league starts on February 15th at 1:00 pm at Range 2.  

You will sign up as previously by counting the number of classes you wish to shoot.  Example:  A Club Member shooting pistol iron and rifle iron your fee will be $30 + $10 for the second class.  You can use only 1 gun per class per week.   Non Members will pay $70 and $10 for the second class.  

Please go to the HRGAC Club House and pay your league fees prior to the start of the league. Bring your receipt to the range on the starting day so we can mark you on the log as paid. We will post the standings as normal and we will be paying for 1st ($30) and 2nd ($15) place pistol finishers and 1st ($30) and 2nd ($15) place rifle finishers. Starting with the 2nd week of shooting we will shoot any makeups from the previous week, if possible.  That will allow us to shoot fewer strings on the scheduled makeup week.  

The Spring and Summer Leagues will operate according to the attached schedule and with classes and fees and pay outs for 1st ($30) and 2nd ($15) place pistol finishers and 1st ($30) and 2nd ($15) place rifle/PCC finishers.  The HRGAC Steel Challenge rules are attached and I ask you to read them as there is one addition regarding target height.  If you have questions let me know.  But please READ the rules.  We have had good compliance but the Acting RSO/Timers will be watching a little closer for sweeping issues, fingers out of the trigger guard and movements during jam clearing to further ensure that we enjoy our sport safely.

The spring and summer schedule has the leagues running continuously through the summer.  Makeup weeks are included but this year we will try to minimize the number of makeups we have to shoot on makeup nights.  After the 1st week of each league we will shoot any makeups for the previous week.  Again, you will only be able to make up 2 weeks shooting per league.

We can also make the nightly league shooting go quicker if we all make sure we are ready before we are called to the shooting box.  That means being aware that you are "on deck" while the painters are doing their thing, mags loaded and eyes and ears in place.  When you are "on deck" to shoot do not go to the shooters box or place your equipment on the shooter table before the RSO/Timer calls you to the line.  Smooth operation will allow the time on league nights to do makeups or do some fun matches while we have daylight.

I look forward to another season of great fun and fellowship as we enjoy our sport in a safe environment. An added enhancement for targets this year is that all targets will be angle at 15 degrees from vertical. This will minimize the chance of fragments bouncing back at participants.
