Who else is dying to shoot steel?

[Shipyard]

Dawn - such pretty, pretty toys indeed - i'm hoping the lady comes by here herself to show them off so i don't want to ruin the fun.

we both had such a blast last summer can't wait to see you all again this time around. Cheers!!

[Stradawhovious]

don't worry about him Strad - you know some newbie will just come along and beat you down again (not that i have any first hand knowledge of this at all )
.

I let you win. I didn't want you to cry like a five year old with a skinned knee. You know, like you did in the car on the way out to the shoot after you broke a nail trying to open your can of "Diet Shasta".

Diet Shasta?

Ouch. We do RC cola around here dangit! This is America!

So, where and when are these mythical steel shoots? Are they Steel Challenge? or USPSA with lots of falling steel?

Not part of any other organized group. Just a bunch from the forum getting together. check out this thread. http://mnguntalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=12420

It's a great time. Google "Gopher Campfire Club". They have property north of Hutchinson.

Steel Shoots for 2010 [edit to add: Like nyffman said. ]

But the short version is: they're at the Gopher Campfire Conservation Club near Hutchinson. The first one is April 17th, be there at 8:30 AM to help set up.

Are they Steel Challenge? or USPSA with lots of falling steel?

They are mostly like Steel Challenge as I understand it. Except I don't know if Steel Challenge features the super fun Man v. Man. Having never shot actual Steel Challenge or USPSA, I will now yield the floor to somebody who knows what they're talking about.

looks like lots of new toys coming out to play this year!

[BlackEagl]

I can't wait to try out my new 10mm 1911 on steel this year! (I'll have to bring my trusty 1911 in .45 just in case.. )

Oh, don't worry, I'm sure someone will say it's not enough to knock down the final Man vs. Man poppers.

And then Benny will borrow a 9mm and put them down with a shot each.
