2014 SA Steel Challenge invitational match
27 September 2014 - Adelaide Pistol & Shooting Club
On September 27, some 54 competitors took the opportunity to participate in a Steel Challenge invitational match at the Adelaide Pistol & Shooting Club. Most had never had the chance to shoot Steel Challenge before, as it had been off the South Australian shooting calendar for some time. However, after a thorough brief on the match structure and the scoring, four squads of shooters were sent on their way to contest the eight stages.
Self-loading pistols dominate the international Steel Challenge competitions and this invitational match was no different, with 48 of the entries choosing to use self-loaders in the Open, Standard and Production divisions. Rimfire and Revolver were the remaining divisions.
It was great to see members of many other clubs make the effort to attend and the SSAA, as well as IPSC and PA were all well represented. Competitors ranging from novices to current IPSC Australia Team representatives and a Grand Master IPSC shooter all found the stages harder than they looked, with most having some fast strings but finding consistent runs harder to do.
The larger-than-expected turnout slowed things down, but as with every first attempt, lessons were learned and improvements will be addressed. At the end of a long day, medals were presented to the place getters in the five divisions and all agreed that we should make it a regular fixture throughout the year.
Thank you to the SSAA South Australia Executive Committee and the Adelaide Pistol & Shooting Club, its members and executive committee. A special thanks also to Leon, Sue and Judy.
