INFORMATION ABOUT LAST YEAR'S STEEL SAFARI (2012)
If you want a guaranteed spot in a future match, check out the Competition Dynamics Range Officer Program

The Steel Safari is a non-standard contest that examines practical rifle skills, including target recognition, range estimation, wind doping, trail skills, and marksmanship. It is designed to test a competitor's rifle shooting skills in practical "hunting-type" challenges in the natural terrain using what gear he can carry.

Shooters should expect:

• three day-long field stages each involving movement through approximately 3 miles of rugged desert terrain;
  each field stage will have approximately 8 shooting stations;
  each shooting station will have 6 target opportunities
• to locate, range, and engage targets at each station under a time limit
• movement between stations during each field state will not be timed;
  however, shooters are encouraged to move briskly to avoid procedural penalties if passed
• local altitude of 4000'
• to carry gear used during the courses of fire
• to engage rifle targets from 200 to 700 yards (few engagements outside this range may be required)
• Standard targets sizes are 6"x12" or 12"x12", but some vary.
• fantastic geographic features for a hike-and-shoot match
• Friday, Saturday, Sunday: Field courses
• Mandatory check-in by Thursday at 1800.
• T-shirts will be available to purchase online prior to the match, at a reasonable price.

Rifle: Any 243/6mm up to 300 Winchester Magnum. 3200fps limit.
Shooters can use any ancillary equipment as long as such equipment is carried during every stage. (See Rules for details.)
