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!

Congratulations to two BGM members – Tax Man and White Feather. Both competed over the weekend at the Army Marksmanship Unit’s three gun competition at Fort Benning, Ga. Tax Man came in 126th and White Feather 23rd. Friends of the BGM: Pony Tail came in 14th and Ramey came in 3rd in the Open Division. Ramey smoked professional shooter Todd Jarret and finished behind other professional shooters Jerry Miculek (world’s fastest reloader) and DPMS Sponsored Jasmes Darst. For weekend shooters not to shabby.
The AMU uses a set of complex rules and scoring system that aren’t completely easy for everyone to understand. But basically the highest score wins. The system does not necessarily indicate the fastest competitor as much as it does for the one that was accurate, fast, and followed all the rules. Here are White Feather and Tax Man’s Results.

Again congratulations and job well done.
This past Saturday we had a rainy nasty weather at the November Steel City Tactical Rifle Match. We had a good turn out considering the weather and the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and hope you will join us at the next match.
BGM member shot with 4 of the top 5 shooters at the match. Shooting with such an elite squad is like playing a round of golf with Tiger Woods – it either improves your game or intimidates you into a worse round.
