Mission Rod and Gun Club have just announced the date of their first Speed Steel match (a variant of Steel Challenge) which is being held this month on Saturday 19th April.

For those of you who are not familiar with Speed Steel shooting this is probably the most exciting handgun shooting discipline going and is all about speed and accuracy against steel targets. The match this month will be shot over five stages of various target configurations. Competitors will shoot each stage six times with their best five times for each stage going towards their aggregate time for the overall match. The distances to targets will vary from 10-50 yards, with sizes varying from 6” 8” 12” round and 18x24” rectangular steel plate.

Bring as many magazines or speed loaders as possible. If you are going to shoot this event we recommend you use the lightest loads you can muster as there is no power factor requirement. Note: Sorry NO magnums allowed.

The match fee is $15, and is open to non members (there is no additional drop in fee for non members). In terms of ammo requirements, the round count for the event is 150, but depending on your skill level you should budget to bring between 200 and 250 rounds per gun for the match.

We've opened the match up to 7 different classes to encourage as many people as possible to give it a try.

Mission Speed Steel classes:

1. Stock 22 pistol/revolver
2. Open 22 pistol/revolver
3. Stock center fire pistol
4. Open center fire pistol
5. Stock revolver
6. Open revolver
7. Single action cowboy

Match start time: 9:00am – match briefing 8:30am sharp.

Depending on numbers we might run a second squad in the afternoon starting at 1:00pm with a match briefing at 12:30pm.

If you are interested in shooting this match email speedsteel at(@) shaw.ca as we would like to get an idea on numbers before the match.

Further details about the event will be posted at missionrodandgun.com

damn I'm working nights, and will be sound asleep while you guys have fun! I hope you do more of these!
 
We haven't decided on trophies yet. There's no set format for the stage layouts, they will change from month to month. The stage layouts for the first match will consist of 5 targets for most of the stages.

I just want to reiterate the purpose of this event is to try and encourage as many shooters out as possible. While some people will show up with their $5000 space-guns we also want to encourage those people with their Ruger Mk1 22s as well.

Sounds like a lot of fun unfortunately I will be in the Kooteney's prospecting as well as black bear and turkey hunting.
 
will this use a holster to draw from or start with gun in hand?
If a holster is used what kind can one use?
I wouldn't mind trying it out . I have a 9mm H&K USP I would like to use.
 
As it looks like we're going to be putting on a second squad for the shoot in the afternoon we're thinking about putting on food in the club house. We'll confirm this next week.
 
If you haven't already emailed speedsteel@shaw.ca to confirm your attendance for the Speed Steel shoot at Mission next Saturday (April 19th) you had better do soon because the morning squad is nearly full. There are some openings available in the afternoon.

Despite the weather the inagural speed steel match at Mission on Saturday was a great success. Next month's match will be held on Saturday 17th May. As spaces are limited anyone who's interested in shooting this match should email speedsteel@shaw.ca to reserve a slot. Again there will be a morning and afternoon squad to ensure we get enough shooters around the five stages.
 
ooooh if I don't get the Sunday off to go to Kelowna for the IPSC match I'll be there!
