Anyone here shoot steel?

Which rules are you looking at?  Speed on Steel?  Centerfire "Rested Ready" = 2 second penalty on each run (string).  No penalty for rimfire.

 

I shot a steel challenge a couple weeks ago ( i wasnt terribly competitive). I overheard some guys talking about a penalty for not having a holster, starting in the ready with a 9mm. The goal was to shoot 5 steal targets, the stop plate being last. 

As far as terms go, a run (string) is 1 part of a stage? 

So if im understanding what you're saying, each run has 2 seconds added. So essentially 8 seconds to each stage correct?

3 seconds added per string — thats 15 seconds per stage total — this rule is the same for both monthly steel matches at OBRPC

Doesn't really matter much — you are there to have fun, not win a cadillac

 

Rimfire pistol no holster no penalty

This is true, i doubt ill get to the level of some of these guys. I definitely like to compete against myself though!

What gun you shooting?

I think I have a holster for a 75b — you can borrow it next time out

have a spare belt too if it fits

Thats very generous of you. I actually have been shooting the walther ppq match. I have a holster being delivered today! Do you shoot the steel matches too?

I did years ago, then took some time off

Once it gets cooler out I’ll be back at it

steel is fun but its a long day at OB — it became too big

was nice when you could be out of there at noon and still salvage the rest of the day for house stuff

Forgot to ask — did you get a belt also?

I didn't get a specific competetion belt, is that necessary? I proposed tuesday so funds are a bit tight.

Congratulations— why does proposing make funds tight — she should say yes even with an aluminum foil ring

A gun belt makes a big difference — stiffer, supports the gun and makes draw easier

what size waist are you?

A carry belt and a copetition belt are ususally different — most use the inner/outer belt for comp — these are really stiff - not for everyday use

I use wilderness systems for an everyday belt

I use double alpha comp belts — the inner outer belts are pretty much the same

 

I do have a 38” double alpha spare belt here — you are welcome to try it out — 38” belt should be just about right for you
