That sounds exhausting. Lol. I watched one of those on youtube where a guy was running thru shooting, but had to stop because there was another guy still inside the maze thing. Was pretty scary just watching it.
That's ok too. We have a couple at our range that shoot USPSA that don't travel too well, but they like to shoot and try to figure out the best/fastest way to get through each stage. They know they aren't going to win. Its all about the shooting, talking guns and being around friends.
We have the Chief of Police from Derby Ks come to our steel challenge matches at the Ponca Range. He has no legs and is in a wheel chair.
He can shoot pretty darned good!
That is something that is being highly discussed among competitors in USPSA, and other shooting competitions. What I see is that the Range officer (RO) did not make sure the range was secure before allowing the competitor to start shooting. The main problem was the Opaque walls that were up. The RO couldn't see the course of fire and didn't see the guy behind one of them.
I've never seen a match with opaque walls like that. Ours are made from the orange construction fencing so that one can see through them and make sure nobody is down range. Safety in any competition is the #1 thing that all ranges want.
I could see how not being able to see would be a major safety problem in any event with live ammo involved. B.t.w., some of the guys reported ricochets at the range today. I guess some bullets hit the metal parts of the table braces.
That does happen. The berms take care of most of the issue.
Even shooting at wood framed target stands will result in ricochets on occasion.
ive really been wanting to try steel challenge ive seen the one they have in alex are there any others
They are all over the state at different ranges.
The Ponca City range has theirs on the 4th Saturday of the month.
Google the OKC gun range, Oil Capitol Gun Range, USSA in Tulsa, and ATA range in Pryor for their dates.
I'm not sure if SCRAP in Duncan has steel challenge, but they do run a USPSA match.
