Littlestown Open Steel 18 April

This is the Littlestown Open Steel match for Saturday, 18 April 2026
We usually have 3 stages of 6 to 12 targets, including one “different” stage. For shooters who want “more shooting” we will be running up to 5 strings per stage, if you don’t have (or want to use up) that much ammo you can elect to only shoot 3 strings, or skip a stage entirely to save ammo for another stage. Strictly shooter’s choice, just let the Range Officers know what you want to do. Practicing “ammo management” should keep the round count in the 100-120 range, plus however many times you plan to miss. We also try to be “revolver friendly” setting up the stages with a sub-group of 5 or 6 targets if you want to try using a revolver or 1911 without reloading. We usually have room for walk-in registrants, so if you know someone who is not on Practiscore who wants to shoot, tell them to come on out.
In recognition of the ammunition situation, we are opening up all squads to rim fire in addition to center fire. Bring out your .22 handguns & carbines and join the .380 to .45 fun!
The fee for this match is $10 cash paid at sign in. Sign in starts at 8:00 AM, if you want to show up a little earlier we always appreciate help setting up the targets. There will be a safety briefing at 8:50, and we start shooting at 9:00.
One operational note: when you start shooting a stage, you must have enough ammunition on your person loaded in magazines (or some type of loading device if you are shooting a revolver) to complete the stage. Once you enter the shooter’s box, there will be no loading of magazines allowed; if you run all of your magazines dry that will end your stage. We strongly recommend having at least 50 rounds loaded and ready. A magazine reloading area will be provided at each stage, and you can reload magazines at any time while others are shooting. Please also note that, in the interest of time, this will be a “lost brass” event: it would complicate things too much to allow retrieval of spent brass. More details will be provided at Saturday morning’s briefing.
Once again, welcome to Littlestown Open Steel!
