Steve,

Steel shooting is simple. any auto loader, rimfire or revolver will
work. You stand and shoot at 5 plates per string of fire. You repeat
for a total of five times. So you are looking at 25 rounds per stage
if you don't miss....bring plenty of ammo for a match. You stand and
shoot, no movement and no props to negotiate.

Bring about 150 rounds of ammo, some sunscreen. gun with a good
holster and belt, plenty of spare magazines and carriers.
