&lt;p&gt;This is a chance to come out and practice before the upcoming national championship in August. We’ll have about 2 hours of practice time with coaching available from some multi-time national champions. 5 mags per turn on as many guns/turns as we can accommodate in the time available. The second half will be a mini match on the 2 stages we’ll have up for practice. We should be able to accommodate up to 2-3 guns per shooter for the match portion. Open to shooter of all abilities and experience.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Steel challenge may be shot with either centrefire handguns, .22lr rimfire handguns, .22lr rimfire rifles, or legal pistol caliber carbines. No magnum calibres or steel core/steel jacketed ammo are permitted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you are withdrawing from the match, please email steel@btsa.club for the most timely refund. Refunds for voluntary withdrawals will be less credit card processing fees and must be received by the registration closing date so we have a chance to attempt to fill the empty slot. If the match needs to be cancelled due to conditions or unexpected events, a full refund will be issued less any unrecoverable expenses (none are typical for weekend matches and this applies more to provincial/national matches)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
