10 Feet Quick Draw Speed Challenge

About this Rule​

This competition rule and its target were created for AIRSOFT SPOTTER, inspired by the the SCSA Steel Challenge competition rules. The content of this rule significantly differs from the official SCSA rules. For the official SCSA competition rules, please visit the SCSA official page.

The Steel Challenge, organized by the Steel Challenge Shooting Association (SCSA), is a shooting competition that tests speed and accuracy. This competition involves shooting down fixed steel plates as quickly as possible, and it has gained popularity for its simple yet exciting format.

    • "Make Ready": The competitor must face downrange and prepare their firearm. The competitor must then assume the required start position.

      • Sight Pictures: Sight pictures (sighting shots) can be taken during the Make Ready process and while preparing for the next string.

    • "Stand By": This command should be followed by the start signal within 1 to 4 seconds.

    • "Start Signal": At the audible start signal, the competitor begins their attempt at the course of fire.

    • "Stop Signal": The competitor must immediately cease firing.
