Both the public and the match break and check targets at the direction of the CRSO.Fees are $7 for members and $13 for invited guests. $3 go to USI for each shooter. Fees are collected at the MPR, not at the USI Clubhouse .
USI waiver and a Blue Card issued from the USI clubhouse required prior to the match- there is no charge to these one time processes.
I call the Silhouettes in the traditional Spanish, avoiding confusion with the public shooters.

Silhouette shooters are called to the bench, guns pointed downrange, flags inserted. After approaching the bench, firearms can not be touched until prompted for the live fire.

Upon command, shooters fire for 2 min. After 2 banks of animals, they return the guns to the rack, flags inserted.

There is no gun handling except for the actual 10 shots per relay.

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. If you do not have a current card go to https://unitedsportsmen.com/waiver/ for more information, to watch the videos and take the online quiz prior to the class.

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.
