Delta Peach Bottom fish and game has a steel plate match each month. Check thier calendar at DPFNG.com
This. I haven't been there but it is run by two of our upstanding members and is very popular. I usually shoot a LONG way in the other direction.
Art3 does a great job with these matches. Check them out!Fun Steel match at Delta PA Every Month
Why do I always wait until the last minute to post about these? :rolleye12 Slow is smooth, and something-something last minute. It's an "outlaw" steel challenge event, meaning we don't strictly adhere to the official steel challenge stage designs. We don't quite have the room to do that, plus...www.mdshooters.com
Art3, one of our esteemed members, leads this charge. Check out this thread linked above. You will see why the shoots are popular. He also posts the registration links for the shoots to the thread when they go live.
I need to make it out to one eventually. Shoot something besides precision rifle matches again.
Thank you for the kind words...and for sharing the link.Fun Steel match at Delta PA Every Month

Thank you, sir
Yes, definitely. We'll get you yankin' on triggers with half-assed sight pictures in no time to undo some of those "precision" good habits
I'm a fan of the supersteel that pntc does, the outlaw steel shoots that some of the PA clubs do, etc. They are fun and there's a class for everyone. Enough members speak well of your shoots to add them to the list even though I have never attended one. I will eventually get there.Thank you for the kind words...and for sharing the link.
My intent is to always keep this match (for as long as I'm involved in running it, at least) welcoming to new (or new to competition) shooters. When the weather permits, we get a little intense with movement and even shooting on the move, and sometimes I like to get a little sneaky and "hide" targets when fast shooters might pass by them. However, I do my best to never create safety traps that can easily get a novice disqualified...or worse. Even on the more intense stages, you can always just go slow. And we all know that slow is smooth...and smooth is fast
There are a lot of videos smattered through that thread showing what we do with the little space we have. I think the most important is in the very first post, about bringing the right gear.
Haha. I don't get a lot of free time. Two jobs.Yes, definitely. We'll get you yankin' on triggers with half-assed sight pictures in no time to undo some of those "precision" good habits
SLCFSA (www.slcfsa.org) is not much further north of Peach Bottom, and a good place to practice between Delta Steel matches. The used to have steel shoots, but stopped for a while. I'm a member, but not a very active one. I really don't know much about their events nowadays.
hmmm...maybe we wouldn't be undoing that much precision after all
. Sometimes, we definitely need to at least glance at our sights...sometimes.Nobody sees their sights their first day on live subjects. They target focus. Because that's what people do. I do not run dots on my handguns but I encourage people to do so if they want to. Not only do static target Qual scores go up with them (well documented across many units), people do better at hitting real targets because they can shoot with the target focus that their mind naturally defaults to.hmmm...maybe we wouldn't be undoing that much precision after all

The York Izaak Walton League (http://www.yorkiwla.org/) isn't THAT much further away. They do all sorts of action shooting there. So does the AGC (https://agcrange.org/) does a lot, too. They are about an hour from Harford.
Overall, though, I think Delta is the best place to start
I watched some of your videos and those steel shoots look like fun. Maybe I can convince my son and brother to come out with me and give it a try. I saw the part about side shields being required. We used to use the side shields shown in my link at work, are they sufficient to meet the rule for the steel shots?hmmm...maybe we wouldn't be undoing that much precision after all
