Steel Challenge in Jackson Hole

Steel Challenge in Jackson Hole

Steel Challenge in Jackson HoleAs you might have noticed on our calendar, we now have a steel challenge on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month!  This is a fun match!!!

Guns and Gear

You may bring any IDPA, USPSA or Cowboy Action SASS gun.  You must have a safe and high quality holster.  Start position is with wrists above shoulders.

You may also use a .22 pistol or rifle with iron sights of optics of your choice.  With these guns your starting position is Low Ready

Steel Challenge Course of Fire

There are 8 different stages in this discipline and we will typically set up 3 stages for each evening.

Each stage is 5 shots and will be run 5 times, each time is called a “string.”  Because we are kindly folks, your lousiest string will be tossed away, and we will add the remaining 4 strings for your score.

When you come to the firing line, bring an empty gun and enough ammo / magazines for the 5 strings (25 shots).

Entry fee is only $5 per gun, and you are welcome to shoot different guns.  In other words, you can use a USPSA race gun, then a cowboy action revolver, then a 22 caliber carbine.  Doing this would make your entry fee $15 for the evening.

Safety.  We are very strict with safety and we use the IDPA/USPSA protocols.

  • When you get out of your car at the JHGC, you may not have a loaded gun.
  • Do not load your gun until a Match Director gives you the order.
  • Do not handle your gun until you are on the firing line and the range is hot and you are ordered by a Match Director.
  • If you have any safety questions, please ask the Match Director before making your move.
  • Always keep your guns pointed downrange with no humans forward of the muzzle.
  • Always keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
