2009 Steel City Tactical Carbine Championship‏

The 2009 Steel City Tactical Rifle Championship has been sent out. The match will be a one day format over two days on May 30th and 31st. The BGM hasn’t decided on which day – but most likely we will be shooting on Saturday.

Additional Information about the 2009 Steel City Tactical Carbine Championship

Application and Signup information for 2009 Steel City Tactical Carbine Championship

From the match director:

Hello shooters and Happy New Year!

Attached is an application and information for this year’s Steel City Tactical Carbine Championship.  This info will be posted on the message boards and on the Steel City website in a week or so, but I wanted to send it out to our regular shooters a bit early.

The match will be held the last weekend of May and will again have a one day format with the option to shoot either Saturday or Sunday.  This will allow us to hopefully accommodate more shooters and make the stages a bit more elaborate.

Each day’s participation will be capped at 75-80 shooters.  I suspect that Saturday will be the more popular of the two days, so if you want to shoot Saturday, please don’t wait too long to send in your application and match fee.

The Steel City board of directors has agreed to allow us to use more of the deep bays for this year’s match and that’s why the match fee is $60 vs $50 last year.  The longer bays will allow us to have better and more challenging stages normally associated with rifle shooting.  There’ll still be house clearing and up close blastin’ as well.

Prizes will be awarded via random drawing.  Depending on sponsor participation, we’ll try to award something nice to the category winners as well.  All prize distribution will depend on sponsor participation.  I’ll keep all registered shooters informed of prize details as we get closer to match time.

Just a reminder, we’ll have our regular quarterly rifle match later this month on Saturday, January 31st weather permitting.

Please let me know if there are any questions.  See you at the range soon!

The message on the board from the Match Director:  Congratulations from BGM Tactical Weapons Team on the 1st year B-day Party:

Shooters,
I will not be able to put on a match this Saturday or Sunday. I have a set of grand twins with a one year old birthday party Saturday. Arab club is having a mass clean-up on Sunday. So, how about we have a match on Sunday the 28th of September. A match on Saturday will mess with the IDPA HGC match. Don’t want to do that. Since this will be on an odd day, how about we have an odd match. Lets drag out and dust off those AK47′s and SKS’s. Take them to the Arab range a shoot until the barrels melt off. One stage will require you to shoot from the hip just like you see on Fox News. While you are running… If you don’t have a gun to shoot, come anyway and bring some 7.62×39 or 5.45×39 ammo. Bring at least 100 rounds. Two classes to shoot in. Mags and stripper clips.. Should be lots of fun. We will start around 9:00 am. Set up at 8:oo. $15.00 to shoot. $20.00 to watch us make fools of ourselves.

See you then,
Scott

After re-reading the match description it seems that this is just going to be some organized fun for bragging rights of who is a better shooter. Plus it is reason enough to dust of the ol’ SKS you bough 15 years ago for $50 and test out some of the 30,000 rounds of the Norinco you’ve had in storage for 20 years. It sounds like it could be a loosely run stage setup where we can go out meet the North Alabama shooters and make friends. You can count me in. What about you? I plan to reach out and let them know how many people we are going to bring up with us. I have three so far. Let me know asap.
