Htown Website

Shooters most of what you want will be posted here: http://hummelstownfieldandstream.org/steel/

I have to admit, that it is time consuming to keep up with all the platforms, so I have focused my efforts on keeping the official Hummelstown Field & Stream website up to date.  On the main page, you can click on the "Sports" link at the top and the info for both Pistol sports - Steel & Bullseye (indoor) will be kept up to date as a priority.  I may update this site when time permits.  But if you are looking for one place to go then the best site to bookmark is: http://hummelstownfieldandstream.org

Thanks, Steve

Join our Steel Crew

Do you have what it takes to be a "Man of Steel"?  Or a true "Iron Man"? (You know, if Fe=Iron & Male=Man, therefore a real female is an Iron Man)  We can always use more help with these steel matches & not just on match day.  Our crew meets to work, plan the matches and sometimes we just practice and have fun.  If you have the time and the gumption, we'd love to have you join us.  If you are interested, send an email to: htown.shooting@gmail.com with "STEEL CREW" in the subject & we'll put you on the email list to let you know when we are planning to get together.  Then just show up whenever you can.  That's all it takes, really.

Support Htown Pistol

We would like to move forward with the development of a new set of SIX (6) ranges to shoot our monthly matches.  In order to do this, we need support from YOU.  The pistol committee will be giving a presentation on the project and our goals at the next monthly club meeting.  This will be on MONDAY APRIL 13, 2014 at 7pm at the Hummelstown Field & Stream clubhouse and we'd love to see you there.  In fact, now that we have a turning target system for our indoor range, we are also working toward holding our indoor WPPL Matches there next season.  So even if you can't help with any of the work itself, just coming out to the monthly HF&S meetings to show your support is a form of helping. 

2015 Steel Shoot Notes & Info

After our first shoot on April 18, we plan to resume with our regularly scheduled monthly "Second Saturday Steel Shoot Series" on May 9th.  As long as we have enough assistance, these will be held monthly until through October 14.  Details, additional and LAST MINUTE information, and monthly registration links can now be found at the club's website under "steel shooting".  Or simply click on the link below.  There you will also links to the rules, safety guidelines and to our YouTube channel.

This year the cost of shooting is $15.  We will still run 2 relays and shooters who opt to shoot a second time, will only pay $10 for their second run of the day.  You will still face the "Plate Rack" on Stage #1, but we have added more targets this year and improved upon some of the old ones and we need to cover our costs if we are to continue offering these matches. 

A few changes this year are that any/all shooters sharing a firearm must work from a case or box, they may NOT work from a holster.  Also new this year, is there will be no reloading on a string of fire on the plate rack - all shooters will be limited to a 1 magazine on each string.  (You will still fire 3 strings.)

All shooters are reminded that we run a COLD RANGE.  There is NO FIREARMS HANDLING ALLOWED on the club grounds, except at one of the two (2) safety tables.
