Dynamic Steel
Updated on 1/12/2024
Dynamic Steel is our "outlaw" steel match that is held on Wednesday nights throughout the year (weather permitting). The format for this match is best described as Steel Challenge meets USPSA. Matches are designed with 4-5 stages that can be completed in an hour to an hour-and-a half (depending on attendance). The stages are different every week (we have attaches some example Stage Descriptions to this page).
This is a great match for both new shooters that are interested in giving the practical shooting sports a try and for experienced competitors looking to keep their skills sharp. New shooters need a handgun or PCC, OWB holster, 3-4 magazines (15+ round capacity), 2-3 magazine pouches (or just use your pockets), eye and ear protection, and 150-200 rounds of ammunition. Round count for the match is usually 90-100 rounds, but it is always good to bring some extra.
We will start running Dynamic Steel matches in 2024 during the week as soon as there is enough daylight, hopefully by the beginning of April and plan to continue them through the end of October. There is no preregistration for these matches. Just show up ready to shoot between 3:00 and 7:00pm (we finish earlier later in the season). Cost for this match is $10 and re-shoots are only $5. There is no need to pre-register for these matches. All competitors and spectators are expected to sign a liability release and follow all posted safety rules for the range.
Rules and equipment divisions are similar to other shooting sports, but we also have a rimfire division (pistol or carbine are acceptable). We are working to complete a dedicated set of rules and will post them HERE when complete. Scoring is time-plus-penalties, is kept electronically, and final results are posted on Practiscore. Just type in “DSS” on the Scores page and all of the match results for Dynamic Shooting Sports will populate on their page.
The sample stages shown here are illustrative to help new shooter have a better understanding of what the course of fire might look like. These are not the actual stages that will be used. In fact, the stages change from one week to the next.
