All shooters must pass the orientation class in order to become certified to shoot on the Action Pistol Range.

Shooters are taught range requirements and safety and given an introduction into the games and their rules that are played at the Action Pistol Range.
After the conclusion of the orientation class, new participants are required to compete in the NEXT Steel Challenge Match (the following Sunday) and complete this match without disqualification.
The orientation class is not for brand new shooters/gun owners. Participants shall be familiar with their guns and equipment and be able to demonstrate a minimum level of proficiency with it. It is recommended that participants spend some time at a public range practicing and getting familiar with their guns and their shooting prior to taking this orientation class. The orientation class is not, nor is it intended to be, training of any sort. It is merely meant to show new shooters the Action Pistol Range rules and requirements and to introduce the new shooters to the types of games played on the Action Pistol Range.
Bring a lunch or snack! There will be a limited break and the only thing on the premises is a vending machine with candy, soda and Gatorade.

Competitors must be “Action Pistol Certified” to take part in this match. To become certified, see the calendar for orientation classes.
All competitors need to bring or have a photo of a current USI waiver range card (“Blue or Green” card) to shoot at the range.

About Steel Challenge
Steel Challenge is a speed shooting competition that consists of eight standardized stages with steel targets in three sizes; small circular, large circular and square targets. Competitors are scored by the time it takes them to complete each stage, and the match winner is the competitor with the lowest overall time.
Our matches have 5 stages with 5 steel targets on each. Each competitor shoots each stage five times, with their slowest run dropped, excluding the stage “Outer Limits” where only four runs are shot and the top three counted. The counting times are totaled for their stage score, and the five stage scores are added together to establish the competitor’s match score.
For each run, one hit per target is required, with an unlimited number of rounds permitted. The last target to be shot is known as the “stop plate”, which stops the timer. All primary target hits made after the stop plate has been struck, will be scored with a 3-second penalty each. The maximum time permitted for a run is 30 seconds and a competitor will be stopped and asked to reload if they reach the 30-second limit.
