Brock’s Gap Training Center is proud to announce an exciting shooting event in Birmingham, AL this Fall. The 2013 Steel City Precision Rifle Challenge will be held on Saturday, November 16th (one day format) and will consist of several scenario based precision rifle and pistol stages.

Rifle targets will range from 25-725 yards (most will be somewhere in between). The pistol will be involved in many of the stages. Pistol targets will mostly be CQB type distances. Approximate point distribution will be 80% rifle 20% pistol.Applications, detailed rules and additional information can be found on the BGTC website: Brock's Gap Training Center, Hoover, Alabama - 2013 Steel City Precision Rifle Challenge

While this is the first event of this type at Brock’s Gap, we have four experienced long range shooters with match director experience working together to assure we will have a safe and enjoyable match that is well organized and smoothly run. After safety considerations, our primary goal will be to produce a fun match that you’ll want to put on your shooting calendar for years to come!

We’ve had several sponsors express interest in supporting this event and we are planning to have an order of finish prize table following the match. As sponsorship details firm up, information will be communicated to registered shooters and also will be noted on the BGTC website.

We hope to see you this Fall at the 2013 Steel City Precision Rifle Challenge!

Thanks Tom! I'll be in touch, it will be great to have you down to shoot and/or help this Fall. Don't forget about the carbine match in October!

Hey, throttle that velocity down a bit, it'll make the barrel last longer:)
 
Open now brotha'! Just click on the link in the opening post for the app and info.

I'm gonna be personally offended if you and Mike aren't there!!

Based on the MD and his crew I am positive this will be a great match. I am going to clear my schedule and try like hell to make this.

David- If you need help with anything please let me know.

Good deal. The rules did not mention anything about magwells.

Magwells are fine. The rules are a bit wordy, but basically everything is OK for pistol with the exception of comps, porting or electronic sites.

STI/SVI mags are gtg with +1 or +2 base pads. The key thing is to bring a pistol you're comfortable shooting. Glocks, M&P's etc will be just as competitive as USPSA limited pistols. There will be plenty of fun pistol shooting with valuable points to be picked up but 80%ish of the available match points will be with the rifle.
 
Mark and Dave from Accurate Ordnance just came on board as a sponsor. They might even make an appearance at the match. Expect more sponsors to keep rolling in.

If you are interested in sponsoring the match and getting your company's name out there send me a PM
 
Looking forward to this match for sure.

Jim, I'll get with you to wrap up the donation but you for sure have our support. Dave Walker. Thomas Woods and I all plan to attend in some capacity and I'll also talk to you about that.

Can't wait!

Going to try my best to make it.

I work most Saturdays and it's hard. But need 2 meet shows to be a member so I'll try.
 
I don't get to compete like I used to. One thing I always said...if I could only shoot one match a year, it would be one of David Tapp's and his awesome crew at Steel City. A place that lots of friendships were cultivated and still very strong to this very day.

I will be there representing Nightforce Optics and look forward to shooting a fantastic match, seeing old friends, and making new.
