STEEL & ACTION TARGETS SHOOTERS ASSOCIATION STEEL MATCHES ON-HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE STEEL & ACTION TARGET SHOOTERS (SATSA) was formed to introduce shooters to the action shooting discipline, including speed steel, USPSA Steel Challenge stages, falling steel and USPSA classifier designed stages. The goal of the competition is to provide a safe, fun and challenging environment for pistol shooters of all skill levels from beginner to professional to compete with center-fire handguns and 22 rimfire pistols. STEEL SHOOTING involves challenging a shooter to accurately engage a variety of steel targets at different ranges as specified by the match director and stage designers. Each stage has its own challenges but the object is to hit all steel or targets in the fastest time as prescribed in the stage design. A competitor's score is based solely on time used to hit the specified number of plates (least amount of time wins). Paper targets, combined with falling steel in a stage allow a USPSA format for scoring, combining accuracy and speed to score the stage. MATCH FEES will be $15.00 for a 5 stage match with a minimum 100 round count for the match. Junior shooters match fee is $10.00 when accompanied by an adult. All competitors must sign a liability release form at registration. TIME & LOCATION - The fall matches will be held at ERML on the 4th Sunday of the month. Upcoming matches are 23 November and 28 December. GENERAL MATCH REQUIREMENTS AND INFORMATION
