World Class Steel Action Steel Match

Action Steel Knockdown Matches are similar to a Pro Am match but we use a longer par time for each stage in our Action Steel match. A standard 25-30 target knockdown stage used as a tie-breaker. Action Steel consists of four stages each month with 40-50 knockdown steel targets per stage arranged with props as in USPSA style matches. Shooters start from a designated start position with the firearm loaded, safety on and, on signal, engage all steel from each shooting position. Holsters are recommended, but shooters may start from the low ready position (penalty assessed). Stages may be shot with handgun, pistol caliber carbine, 22 rimfire rifles, and shotgun. Shotguns must use low brass with 7-1/2 or smaller shot. No magnum centerfire or magnum rimfire rounds are allowed.

 

Matches are shot Apr - Nov on the 2nd Saturday of the month.

 

Shooters unfamiliar with this discipline are welcome and will be squadded with other beginners under the guidance of a seasoned Club member.

Think I'm going to try this. Sounds fun.

Exactly what I was thinking, this will be my first time shooting it, but have been looking forward to it for a while now, just never worked out that I could make any of the matches. Plus it's easy to police your brass and if there are any that don't reload, whew, a brass whores dream match..

I shot cj steel yesterday. I picked up brass all day. Only 2 guys in my squad wanted their brass. I went home with 3/4 of a 5 gallon bucket.

If I had enough glock mags I would shoot this with my carbine. Man I'm gonna need a second job just to play the big boy games.

I'm wondering about the distances to targets, I have a 18.5 inch barrel on my Mossberg. It's probably too short to knock down steel at any distance over 10 yards. I am not sure though. Anyone know?

Would Glock 19 15 round mags work?? If so I have lost count now but I have to have 14 - 18 mags, I won't be shooting my 9mm, I'll be shooting my CZ 75-TS so if they work you can use them.

I do believe that will work if you would be so kind.

Im going to try to make this one as well, hopefully ! Graveyard shift sucks since Im pulling an " all nighter " to go to events... But for those who have the time, PPC is on friday night at the indoor range, and is a good event, imma try to get to that as well.

 

Harry, Still impressed by the trigger on that CZ 75-TS of yours, any reason you went with the .40 over the 9 ?

Just remind me later in the week in case I forget to throw then in my second range bag just so I don't forget even though I did remember to throw the 2 extra Ruger MK III mags for Alex that he never needed to use being he didn't bring it..

They're running this match a little different this week(I believe to save time with set up and break down). No movement, no barricades, no drawing from holster. Start with gun in hand, muzzle on table and blast away at the start signal.

Babaganoosh -Steel is close enough that any shotgun will work.

Probably won't be doing the PPC even though I do want to check it out, and I bet being Dave runs it, it's got to be good, Wife is going on a FAM trip and I have to drop her off at the airport at 0400 so I'll have an early start to my day, probably show up at the range early and help setup.

 

As far as why I went with the .40S&W over the 9mm, being that the CZ 75 TS is a SAO trigger, It won't qualify for Production, so it's Limited or L/10 and I might as well score Major and with .40S&W and higher it's easier to do. If I went with the TS in 9mm I would really have to load hot, and even though it's only a 9mm, I think being that hot of a load I'd want a Comp on the gun, then I'd be looking at Open class and putting optics on and I;d rather hold off on the until my eyesight starts going, heck I just got readers after 45 years with perfect 20/20 vision so Open might not be that far off anyway.

 

Like I said I am looking to get another 9mm, I want something for Production Class as well as steel so a DA/SA trigger in needed for that, and 10 round mags are the limit for both Production and knockdown steel anyway. So I was tossing up the coin between the CZ 75B and CZ 85B Combat, Maks really just helped me out bringing up the EAA Witness and I got to sight and check it out at the safe table the other week so I'm still trying to decide.

Cool, any idea what the stages might look like? How many stages and approximate round count?

Man, I want in on this. 590A1 and 686 all day!

Cool, and think, Dicks Sporting Goods is having another sale on ammo that started today also.

Birdshot for shotgun or does it have to be bigger? Do I need full power loads for the 686?

I'm seriously pumped up for this. Would have liked to keep movement in it but no big deal. If I can run the 18.5 inch barrel that would be awesome. I could keep the 7+1 configuration on it. I gotta put a shorter mag tube on it if I want to use a longer barrel.

I don't know, I'd keep the higher capacity but that's just me.

I'm confused, what's smaller than 7 1/2?

I don't know, maybe 8, 8 1/2, and 9..

 

Isn't the size adjusted .010 for each full number change and then .005 for each half??

 

I think 7 1/2 was .095, and then 8 would be .090 and so on until you get to 9 I think being the smallest at .080.

And you would expect something else from me, I know I'd expect it from you man..

I think imma shoot the GP100 this time around, i THINK i have enough speed loaders. I think it'd be fun to watch the guys with the shotguns, Itd be interesting to see how fast reloading times are for those without them fancy speed loading tubes.

Thats a pretty impressive.......

 

 

Technique looks like it would suffice for 10 and under targets, but you have to knock down, ..what? 50 targets ?

Are there power factor requirements here?

You can shoot what you like but Minor is best..

 

Edit to add, There is a max PF of 155..

Looks like I have to practice loading the Mossberg. No idea what I am going to be loading from. Pouch full of shells or that belt that is pretty crappy yet holds a bunch. Made of stretchy material. I think they go for a couple of bucks.

 

Decisions Decisions.

 

Edit:Probably wear a thin pair of gloves because I am always catching my thumb while loading shells.
