It's been along time but I finally finished shooting a Steel Challenge match for the first time this year. Weather was comfortable, 53 degrees and 30 mph winds when we started but ended up being 72 and beautiful. I'm in a wheelchair. Some of the stages are set up with either rain in the bay or tire marks so bad they prevent me from rolling down to the shooter's box.
My health has sucked this year. The few times I made it out I shot one or two stages and had to quit because I was exhausted. But today I brough out my Volquartsen Black Mamba, a ton of CCI Clean ammo and 15 magazines loaded up. I use a McFadden Ultimate Clip Loader to recharge my magazines between stages and it worked flawlessly today. I lubed it before going to the match.
The way the range is set up, it takes about 2 miles to travers all the bays. That's a lot of rolling in my wheelchair and I don't have anyone helping push me around. The Range Master decided two years ago that all the stages had to be moved another 50 yards down range. In 20 years of shooting there has never been an accident on the range but this new RM decided to change things.
Well, I was able to complete the entire match today. My score wasn't going to win me anything but the challenge of finishing was all I needed.
