At our recent club meeting, John Allen asked the club to consider putting on Steel Challenge matches. There seemed to be a lot of interest in it, so the board put together a committee of Ken Nelson, Jeff Bailey, and Daniel Evans to investigate and report back.
We discussed it with other shooters while at the match,and have also met for a planning lunch this week. We’ve also been pricing steel and have arranged for free cutting from an area professional welder.
Next up is a field trip to Las Vegas to shoot a Steel Challenge match this Sunday. We will shoot the match and pick their match director’s brains about our efforts.
Ken & Brian are staying the weekend because Brian is shooting the Shot Show Multi-Gun match on Saturday.
Daniel Evans is driving down Sunday morning. He has room for 3 other shooters.
Coordinate with Daniel (evans.daniel.n@gmail.com) if you want to shoot with us.
If you wish to drive down solo, the match is at Desert Sportsman Range at the western end of Charleston. Go past the Red Rock Casino about 1.5 miles, turn at the sign.
As to what you can shoot… anything you use in USPSA will work. Brian and I will be shooting in the Rimfire Division, me with a Browning Buckmark and he with a Kimber .22. conversion on his Desert Warrior.

Next week we will finish a draft plan and present it to the members for comment. After their comments have been incorporated, we will submit it to the SUPR board for action.
If you have ideas or want to contribute to the effort just e-mail Ken at kn@kennelson.com or call him (435) 703 2897.
