Shooters,
    For those of you who have competed in Sportsman’s Team Challenge matches in the past, we would like to welcome you back for the 25th Anniversary season, and for shooters who are looking for a new event to participate in, we welcome you to one of the most exciting and challenging shooting events available. Competing as a 2 or 3 person team, you will need to master all three major shooting disciplines (rifle, pistol and shotgun) while working against the clock and targets that require varied levels of precision. Team Challenge does, however, offer many different divisions in which shooters can compete so that teams will be challenged by other teams with similar skill levels to maintain a positive level of competition (classifications from Sub Junior all the way up to Industry Open – Professionals).

    For our new competitors we offer an introductory class in which to compete and make available at each regional our Loaner Gun program which includes a full complement of competition quality gear (Ruger, Caspian, Remington, Beretta, McMillan, Kidd, Leupold, Burris, Sightron, Clark Custom, Tactical Solutions, Lapua and Black Hills). This equipment is available to all competitors and has been provided by our industry sponsors to alleviate the initial outlay for competition quality gear.

    Listed below are the Regionals we have currently scheduled. In addition to the traveling steel targets, we have added LaPorte shotgun traps to the traveling trailer which will be available at a nominal cost to any club looking to host a Team Challenge match or regional. As new regionals are scheduled they will be posted under the Regionals tab on our website and also on our Facebook page.

Rule Updates:2010
• Sub Jr. A & B Rules: Rifle and combo will be revised to include all targets in the course of fire with standard point value for targets (same as all other classes).
• Combo: 10 ea. 4” circles will be set at 25 yards and 5 ea. 4” circles will be set at 35 yards.
• Pistol: Precision plates (4” squares) 10 ea. at 30 yd and 2 ea. at 20 yd. No change in time limits, running provision for medical necessity remains an option.
• Shotgun: times will remain consistent by classification from the preliminary round through the finals round (no change to times from prior year).
• Tie Breaker: Should a tie exist for teams going into the finals we will draw from a hat which includes all six events as possible tie breakers, if after the first event is drawn and shot both teams remain tied we will draw again from the remaining 5 events and so on until the tie is broken.

We look forward to seeing everyone in San Antonio once again and will be sending further details and an itinerary for the match, though it will be consistent with prior years.
