Terry what class do we sign up for to shoot rimfire at the saturday steel challenge

[@TwoGunTerry]

Hi Steve, USPSA owns Steel Challenge (SCSA). If you are not a member of USPSA sign up as 'X'. If you are a member then sign up as 'U' if you are unclassified with the firearm your shooting. If you are a member and you have shot the firearm before in a sanctioned match you will have a classification assigned based on your score. After this coming weekend you will be classified if you join USPSA. Last time I looked it was $35/year to join. Here is a link to the USPSA membership page uspsa.org/join. After you join, you will assigned a class for each division you shoot. There are 13 divisions in all. Each is based on the type of firearm you shoot. For example, rifles that shoot .22 caliber rounds and have iron sights are called Rimfire Rifle Iron (RFRI). That same rifle with an optic, typically a red dot sight, and/or a compensator is in the Rimfire Rifle Open (RFRO) division. A .22 caliber pistol with iron sights is in the Rimfire Pistol Iron (RFPI) division. The same pistol with an optic and/or compensator makes it Rimfire Pistol Open (RFPO). That's 4 of the 13 divisions right there! The same goes for pistol caliber carbine rifles (PCC). Usually, 9mm but can be any pistol caliber shot through a rifle up to .45 caliber I believe, but don't quote me on that. PCC has 2 divisions. PCC with Iron sights (PCCI) or PCC with an optic and/or compensator (PCCO). Frankly, there is no advantage to shoot powerful rounds in Steel Challenge. In fact, most shooters are trying to find or make the softest shooting rounds that cycle their gun safely and reliably. One other note about PCC and Rimfire is you start in the low ready position. Not from a holster. All other divisions below must be drawn from a holster. Revolver with iron sights is classified as (ISR). A Revolver with an optic and/or compensator is classified as (OSR). Production (PROD) is just that. A pistol exactly how it came from the manufacturer. You can polish the trigger but that's about it. The Carry Optics (CO) division is a production gun with an optic. Single Stack (SS) division is the same but using 1911 style pistols or at least pistols with magazines where the cartridges stack one on top of the other. Not zig zagged like in a double stack. The Limited (LTD) division is basically an Open gun without a comp or optic. Just about everything goes on a Limited gun except you cannot have an optic or compensator. The Open (OPN) division is a Limited gun but does have an optic and or compensator. There is a lot of controversy over the 13 divisions because they are based on USPSA competitions. You can see where several of the divisions are almost the same. Very little difference when it comes to shooting Steel Challenge. Hope this helps, Terry

@@TwoGunTerry Can we shoot rimfire on Sunday

[@TwoGunTerry]

You can shoot rimfire Saturday and/or Sunday. Either in the match or afterwards for practice. Of course, the range charges to shoot. The match is $29 for the first gun and $10 for the second gun for the same day. Practice after the match I believe is $25 but you must tell them you are there to practice Steel Challenge. If not, they'll charge $35. I usually shoot 2 guns Saturday and two guns Sunday. Hence the nickname Two Gun Terry! LOL.
