2014 Steel Challenge near Kettle Falls WA

#12
I'm wondering where I can get some more information about this Match? Like:

Is it a rifle only Match, individual or team, number of rounds, layout (number of targets-distances), cost, etc. ?

Thanks

Rifle only match, team match, last year it was about 180rds, distances out to 1100 Yards, movers last year at 400 and 800. Its for a great cause, well run, teams come from all over to shoot.

K Falls is nearly local for me. I really want to shoot in a match. All I've done is shoot from a bench at 100 and 200 yards, known distance obviously. It's a bit intimidating.. Is this a good first match for a guy like me?

I'll have to admit being very interested in precision field shooting, but having exactly ZERO experience. I've just recently started shooting in NRA High Power Matches with iron sights and my SAI M1A SuperMatch (out to 600 yards) -- what equipment would I need for something like the Kettle Falls match? Would I be able to get prepared between now and May, or should I target 2015's match? How does one prepare for a match like that? I was looking into a Savage 10 FLCP-K (Left Handed) in .308 as a starting rifle, but hadn't decided on the optics as of yet. Also, I'll be starting to handload in the next couple of months as well. Lots to learn, so little time!

WhoisJohnGalt, where are you from? fill out the profile at least location. We got matches going on all the time, come and see what its all about. There's monthly matches at Upper Nisqually on the west side, theres going to be a match at Vantage, second weekend in February, Jakes got the JC Steel Challenge in March by the Tri-Cities, think he is still looking for some RO's, not a bad way to see what its all about. As for what its all about, a rifle, (bipod and rear bag a necessity), a decent scope with enough travel to 1000 or so, some decent ammo (175 in 308), good dope and the willingness to go and learn. Check out SHWW and Puget Sound Shooters,

Gentlemen I have a problem my partner and I were coming down to the comp from AB Canada now he cant make it a fellow shooter wants to come ( bad ) but he does not have the paper work to bring his rifle across the border I hope not being to bold here but if anyone has a rifle they would rent or lend he would probably lick your boot souls of course he'd pay for his own ammo too hope to see u there

Shoot me a PM - I have a Rem 700p in .308 in an AICS chasis- he'll need a scope, rings and AI mags. I have some 30mm badger rings on it and have some 34 and 35mm rings somewhere else. I just need to know his scope diameter and bell diameter.
It has a 26" barrel and shoots FGMM well....otherwise he can load some 175 SMKs in any case with 45 grains of Varget (Coal of 2.850") and it will not disappoint.

Gentlemen... I just got back on here ( doing the preshoot honey do list ) and see that a number of fellows have offered the use of their rifles I want to thank u all very much .. all these rifles offered r top shelf stuff any any of them would be a great choice I shoot 260 it would probably be to r advantage to shoot 260 as well though he shoots a custom 308 a big factor is being able to buy ammo down there either from the rifle's owner or store bought down there.. he cant bring any across with him he does have a MK IV 8,5 x 25 x 50 with 30 mm tube he can bring and AI mags as well PM sent to the fellows that offered thanx again at the very least Che' owes someone a steak dinner

For those who've shot thus match before: is there water at all the stages or should we bring our own?

I read an article that says the first tgt at each stage is ranged by reticle only then the others by range finders. Is this correct? How much prep time do you get?

Any other tips would get appreciated.

Alsatian in past years there was plenty of water, not that I didn't bring some if my own and a sandwich, there was burgers being sold last year as well. In previous years yes shooters had to mil the first target in many of the stages, last year we didn't do that, but who knows what surprises he has in store for us this year.
