Introducing match directors Stephanie and Steve Weiss

Ladies and gentlemen if you haven't yet had the opportunity to meet this dynamic duo of match directors please make it a point of yours to do so. You can find them managing numerous disciplines. The .22 Rimfire Benchrest on the 1st Sunday of each month, the Thrifty Peoples Benchrest on the 2nd Thursday of each month and the Steel Challenge on the 4th Sunday of each month.

DISCIPLINE OF THE MONTH

The Steel Challenge

Stephanie and Steve Weiss are the match directors for this super fun discipline. The goal is to hit numerous steel targets in proper sequence. Each participant is timed. This discipline has competitors of all skill levels from novice to highly skilled and includes both men and women. Ladies challenge your guy to see who is faster.

Everyone shoots at the same targets from the same location.
