Please be aware of when your relay is about to start. Please be SAFE in setting up your gear. We will provide adequate time for all competitors to set up.
Targets wlll be scored after you shoot, but then become your property. Please make certain your target has been scored correctly. Should you have a concern, please let us know immediately. Once the Match has concluded the scores are final and no changes will be made.

If you have ever wanted to take your rimfire shooting skills and shoot in a organized scored event than this is for you.
This event is designed to be beginner friendly for shooters of all skill levels. If you are new to shooting or a seasoned competitor or somewhere in between, this event is for you as there is plenty of fun to be had by competitors of all ages and skill levels. It’s quite common for entire families to shoot matches together.
This is family-friendly shooting discipline, and is open to the public, club membership is encouraged but not required.
How does it work?
Steel Challenge is all about ringing steel as fast as you can!
When it’s your turn to complete the course of fire, you step into the shooting box. A range official will issue a series of commands for you to prepare your firearm. Once you’re ready, the timer will beep and you’ll shoot the steel plates. Five of the plates can be shot in any order you choose. The last plate, known as the “stop plate,” must be shot last. This signifies that you have completed your attempt at the course of fire. The post for the stop plate is usually painted red or some other color so that new competitors can remember which plate to shoot last. If in doubt, just ask the range official. After shooting the plates, your time is recorded on an electronic scoring tablet. You repeat this process four times; each run is known as a string. After the final string is completed, your worst time is thrown out and the total time for your three fastest strings is your time for the stage. The competitor with the lowest total time for all stages is the winner for that match,
( it is interesting to note that because you have four strings at the same targets. you are competing against yourself as well.) We record everyone's scores and send the participants the results by email after the match.
What you need to participate
Steel Challenge Rimfire Rifles and Pistols
In Steel Challenge there is no limitation as to what type of rimfire pistol or rifle you can use. If speed is what you’re after then a semi-automatic pistol or rifle will be the best option but there is nothing stopping you from using a lever action or even bolt-action rifle. It is imperative that your bring a good working rifle or pistol. It is best you take it to the range before coming to the course of fire to make sure it is in good working order and the magazines function properly. If you have fewer than 4 magazines you can have a helper load your magazines while you are shooting your second string.
We have four divisions the shooter can compete in
Pistol with Iron sights
Pistol with optic
Rifle with Iron sights
Rifle with optic
You will be shooting from the "low ready position" so no holsters will be permitted.
Because you will be shooting 4 times during your turn we recommend having four magazines but it is not necessary.At least 80 rounds of .22 ammunition is recommended
All firearms must be in a case and have a ECI empty chamber indicator.
As always eye and hearing protection are required.
On the Day of the event
We will meet at the Club's 50 yard range. Beginning at 9:30 participants will sign up for the event and pay their match fees: $5.00 for members and $10.00 for guests. Under 18 shoot free
We will have a safety briefing followed by a match overview prior to beginning the match at 10:00am. Depending on attendance, match usually concludes by 12:00

Each match is broken down into stages, with each stage typically consisting of 10-12 shots on targets ranging from 1/4 up to 6. There are different positions you’ll need to shoot from, like standing, prone, kneeling, and shooting off of different barricades like a tank-trap or a bucket, although there is an adaptive division. Official NRL22 matches consist of 5 stages. Stages usually have a par-time of 2 minutes that a shooter can’t go over, but some stages will have a fastest time wins aspect to them.

Here is an activity for the whole family. Bring your significant other and spend a nice morning shooting on the 50 yard range. The only thing you need is a rifle with a scope or peep sights. This is also a great activity for a father and son or daughter or grandchild. There is no age limit. Just the ability to safely handle a gun, and a knowledge of safety on the range.
Come out on the first Sunday of the month (April through October) and check it out. If you ask one of the RSO’s, they will loan you a rifle to try out. It’s always a good day when you can spend it at the range with family. Sign up starts at 9:15 and we shoot from 10 AM till about noon. Note that weather does play a factor on the range, so please check the ECCL web site under Activities – .22 Rimfire before coming to make sure that the event has not been cancelled due to weather.

The Erie County Conservation League Women’s Program activities consist of our twice a month Women’s Defensive Shooting program.
WOMEN’S DEFENSIVE SHOOTING
The primary goal is to prepare women to defend themselves in their homes and in public.
The program is open to members and non-members, free of charge.
Participants must be 18 years or older.
The Women’s Defensive Shooting Program was started as a way for ladies to gain experience and confidence to attend the monthly Action Shooting events at ECCL. After several seasons the program has shifted focus to defensive shooting training for women.
Experience is not required:
If you are a new shooter we will (if staffing attendance permits) place you with an instructor along with any other new shooters for a basic pistol shooting class.
Experienced shooters attending for the first time will also go through a brief basic pistol class for skill assessment and safety training.
No gun, No problem! We have loaner pistols and provide ammunition.
Participation in this program is voluntary
