Our last match of the season is in the books. The weather for our Fall Steel Challenge looked

threatening, but sunlight broke through just in time for the shooters meeting and played hide and

seek for the rest of the day. Before the match began, Jim Zimmerman from Selway Armory

conducted the long-awaited drawings for the setup crew gift certificates. Vic Fink, Shawn

Stinton, and Nate Martin won the $25, $50, and $200 certificates, respectively. Selway Armory

and 323 Construction joined forces to recognize the great people who work hard to construct our

match stages.

Special thanks go to Brian Craft who fabricated our Steel Challenge targets and holders, based

on recommendations from Mike Shapiro and Lee Bergman. The new targets were almost too

beautiful to shoot with precision construction and a white powder coating (who are we trying to

fool, we shot the heck out of them). The new design resulted in a loud, clear ring when the

targets were hit, and was noticeably quiet when I was shooting.

A default setting on the scoring tablets caused them to not display the worst string for each

shooter, although the correct scores and standings were generated on the master iPad. So while

the posting of the final results was delayed, rest assured that they do reflect the correct times with

the worst strings discarded and the 30 second maximum string times per the SCSA rules.

The charity poker draw was conducted again to benefit the Salt Lake Practical Shooters

Association. The SLPSA facilities were burglarized and their timers, chronograph, staplers and

other tools were stolen. The poker and additional donations will result in $88 going to help the

club.

Thanks to everyone for making 2015 one of our best seasons!
