That sounds like a ton of fun!The ROC, there's a simple way around this. Work with your club to host your OWN event.
Locally one or two of the guys in my club took it upon theirselves to organize and schedule a Speed Steel shooting event. It's simple, doesn't take much time to set up if you have some steel targets available and is hellacioius fun and low in voluteer duties. Just a timer and one of the other shooters willing to run it for the RO when it's HIS turn to shoot.
Here's how it's set up and scored....
- There's 5 targets, four or less white and one black. The 1,2 or 4 white targets are shot first and the black target last to finish the string.
- If there's less than 4 whites then shots are split between them to total four hits. So one target would get all 4 shots, 2 would get two each, then it jumps to 4 to avoid confusing folks
.
- If the black is hit before the 4 whites then penalty times are added to the time as "failure to engage" penalties.
- The idea is to keep shooting at the whites until you manage to hear 4 DING!'s Only then do you switch to hit the black.
- Targets are set out at ranges from 10 to 50 yards to best provide an interesting layout that tests the shooter's skill but isn't stupidly hard. Generally distant targets are larger, like 2x3 feet plates while closer targets are made from 10 inch round discs. Barricades and other obstables that encourage kneeling or shooting around or through objects add to the fun.
