For those of you interested in the DFW area the DPC's regularly scheduled 3rd Sunday steel match is this weekend.
Typically format is 5 stages consisting of 5 steel targets. Shoot each stage 5 times, drop worst time (some exceptions though on some set-ups), sum up the rest for your final time.
Recommended that you have atleast 200-250 rounds of ammo on hand for the match, but you may not shoot it all.
SIgnu-up starts at 9am, shooting usually starts at 9:30 and runs to noon-1ish depending on the number of shooters.
Shooters are ranked by gun type:
Open Auto (comps and/or dots)
Stock Auto (everything that's not an open gun)
Open Revolver
Stock Revolver
Open .22 Auto
Stock .22 Auto
Open .22 Revolver
Stock .22 Revolver
And by Experience level (you place yourself were you feel comfortable, if you shoot enough you will move up based on performance):
AA - really really good shooters, lost of experience
A - really good experienced shooters
B - good shooters, have shoot the format or others
C - good with your gun
D - getting better, learning to draw from the holster
Novice - shoot from low ready. All .22s and folks who aren't comfortable drawing from the holster.
Cost is $15 for non-members, $10 for DPC members.

Its pretty a pretty good time and fun as heck. If you make it, I usually shoot in Squad 1, tall beer belly guy with a LaRue Tactical Hat (well sweated on) look me up.
