Top 4 Steel Challenge Myths for beginners 

Really good tips. Steel Challenge is the perfect place to start out in competition shooting. Something I always hear is around the fact that it is a "competition" and so the person feels like they are a fool to go and not be "competitive." The truth is that 90% of the people going to any match are not "competitive" in the sense that they show up trying to win the whole thing. Steel Challenge in particular is a competition against yourself first and foremost. It's a great place to track your progress as you improve your skills since the stages remain the same.

I've been invited to shoot steel challenge at a local club. I've never shot for time on any range and I was leary of trying this. Your video has encouraged me to give it a try. Thank you!

I shoot 1 or 2 steel challenge a month but I'm not good. I do have a lot of fun and the people are all very nice and friendly.

1. Being a club member is expensive. 2. Ammo is expensive. 4. That's not combat. 5. I work that day. 6. I can out shoot those phonies. 7. If they're such good shooters, why do they need all that crap? 8. I'm a great shot already. I don't need to prove it. 9. I can hit a bad guy without the sights from across the room. I don't need to be better. 10. There is no competitions where I live. Did I miss any of those excuses?

I really like that you add your camera/lens equipment in your info. Thanks.

Totally agree! When I started out, I never expected to win my early matches. That helped take the pressure off me so I can focus on my shooting though it was still slow. I also appreciated the tips and pointers more experienced shooters gave me which I took to heart. In this sport (based on my experience), shooters are perhaps the humblest folks I have ever met. They are not very selfish in sharing their style to tyros. They never put beginners down.

Thanks for the info! I'm going to give steel challenge a try

@0:54 This is a good example of why you always look at your holster, very dangerous

Hey Pookie! I miss shooting with you brother. One of these days I’ll get off the back of these horses & be back at it! Great advice here everyone. Greg is telling you what’s up.

I'm going for my first time on Sunday... this helped thank you

Great advice

Great vid

My first season, I got last place in every match but I didn’t care and nobody laughed at me. People gave me tips from a place of helpfulness. I’m now in my 4th season and I no longer get last place.

Can you compete if you don't have supercool wraparound sunglasses, a baseball cap, and a sleeve tattoo?

Anyone else see that missed no look holster 😂

Great comments--thank you!

You need five mags for your gun. Or at least 3 high capacity mags. But 5 is best.

Do I have to draw from holster
