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.
