LPC Steel Match Apr 26 2026

Lewiston Pistol Club will be hosting it’s monthly Steel match at the Bernie Petersen range.
Stage set up and registration begin at 9:00, new shooter orientation begins at 9:30. Please arrive no later than 9:30, the match will begin promptly at 10:00.
The cost is $15 for LPC members and $20 for non-members. First time match attendees shoot for free. For more info, please see http://www.lewistonpistol.org/Action.php.
We run a “cold range” on match days. Be sure to have all firearms unloaded and bagged when you come up to registration. This includes carry pistols. NEW SHOOTERS: Please read info at http://www.lewistonpistol.org/NewShooterInstructions.php before heading to the range.
Due to the fire hazard, metal piercing, incendiary, and/or tracer ammunition, steel jacketed and steel-core bullets are prohibited at the Bernie Petersen Memorial Range.
The monthly steel match comprises four stages. Most stages have five static steel targets of various sizes at ranges varying from seven to twenty five yards. None of the shots are hard to make! This is drag racing with a gun. Each stage is composed of five strings, the slowest of which is thrown out. Other stages may be more open ended with some movement and moving targets. On occasion we will have unusual but fun challenges. Your times for all stages are added together and that’s your score.
Following the match, we often offer a pistol side match consisting of one stage with a ton of steel targets for those who just can’t get enough or feel compelled to redeem themselves. In order to compete you’ll need:
Eye and ear protection
Handgun (please no hot magnum loads–they mess up the steel)
Sufficient ammo (175 rounds IF you don’t miss–bring more! 200 is usually enough)
Belt holster (that covers the trigger guard and requires only one hand for drawing and re-holstering)
Sufficient speedloaders/magazines to allow you to shoot at least 35 rounds.
Hope to see you there.
