Greetings, Quarter Circle 42 is putting on the 3rd annual steel challenge match. The match will take place on the 14th of May 2011. Like last year’s event there will be shooting stations with many challenging targets. In addition to the stations there will be a known distance event that will be timed using paper targets with limited exposure. With the exception of the first stage of shooting, this year’s shoot will be conducted much like other years. All targets will have an orange marker within a 10 foot radius of the target to identify the location. Each shooting station will have multiple targets in different target configurations and degrees of difficulty, some targets will be partially camouflaged. It will be the responsibility of the shooting team to locate, identify, range estimate and engage each target within a time limit to accumulate a score.
Teams will be expected to have everything that they intend to shoot with on them. Like last year all shooters will be transported up the hill. Transport will begin at 0700 on the day of the shoot. Once the safety brief has been given there will be no further opportunity to obtain any additional gear from your vehicles, other shooters (outside of the shooting team), spectators or by-standards of any kind. You dance with the date you brought!!
Match Location / Date.
The match is scheduled for Saturday, May 14th 2011. The location for this match will be in Kettle Falls, WA.

Match Fee’s.
The Match fees will be $80.00 USD per shooter. T-Shirts will also be available for purchase for the match as well @ $20.00 per shirt. Proceeds will be donated to Camp Patriot. For more information about Camp Patriot look for them on the internet at www.camppatriot.org

Targets.
All steel targets will have a maker within a ten foot radius. A general reference of each target will be given to the shooters in a chronological order from the shooting station RSO. A range card with target locations will be given to each team once they reach the shooting station. Multiple targets will be located at each shooting station.
There will be at least one target at each shooting station that will require the shooting team to acquire the range to that target with the reticle in their optics. The aid of a laser range finder on the pre-designated target will result in a zero score for that shooting team at that shooting station.
Caliber & Other Restrictions.
This match will be limited to .300 win mag and lower. If your rifle has a muzzle brake you will need to bring a shooting mat to absorb the blast.
Round Count
The course of fire will be a maximum of 120 rounds.
Time Limits.
Once the RSO has given the command to begin, there will be a 10 minute time limit to engage all targets at each shooting station. For example, if there are three targets at a given shooting station the shooting team (both shooters) will have a combined time of ten minutes to work shooting solutions to the targets and engage those targets within that ten minute time limit. The shooters will have four attempts to hit each individual target at each shooting station. If it takes longer than the allotted time to engage the targets, one point will be deducted off the overall score in fifteen second intervals from the overall score at that shooting station. If there are no attempts to hit any one of the targets at any shooting station all points for that station will result in a negative score. This will mitigate “gaming” the time issue.
In the event that the RSO has any distractions or reason to call a cease fire, time will be paused to ensure that the team at that station is allotted the proper time for firing.
Team Movement.
The RSO will instruct the teams what their next shooting station is and when they are cleared to move to that station. This will be done in order to keep track of all teams to ensure the safety of all involved in the match.
Scoring.
Shooters must attempt to hit each target with a minimum of 2 rounds. 4 rounds per target total will be allowed to accomplish this mission.
100% will be given for 1st round and the follow on hit.
75% will be given for 2nd round hits.
50% will be given for 3rd round hits
25% will be given for 4th round hits

Prior to engaging each steel target the shooter must verbally confirm with the RSO that he is going to engage a specific target i.e. target # 4. Once the RSO has acknowledged that he is indeed on the same target the shooter may engage the target.
It is entirely up to each team how they are going to engage each target and in what order. (with exception to the mandatory manual ranging target) Who is going to spot and who is going to shoot. However, CLEAR COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE RSO MUST BE GIVEN PRIOR TO EACH SHOT TAKEN IN ORDER TO GET A SCORE.
Communications with the RSO.
Here is an example of communication with the RSO for steel target engagement.
Shooters: Team #3, shooter #2 on Target #5
RSO: RSO on scope Target #5
Once the RSO has confirmed that he is on scope and the correct target the team may engage the target.
Scoring in the event of a tie.
A shoot off will ensue at the discretion of the match director.
Prizes.
Cash prizes will be given to the top three shooters. Additional prizes will also be available. 1st Place $500.00, 2nd Place $250.00, 3rd Place $125.00
