Steel Challenge "5 To Go" Target Package

The Steel Challenge 5 To Go Package gives you everything you need to run one of the eight official SCSA Steel Challenge classifier stages. Four 10" and one 12" 3/8" AR500 steel targets cut to official stage dimensions, paired with Static Target Hangers and Heavy Duty Static Stands that keep targets locked in position through every string. The stands are designed for 2x4 uprights so you can cut legs to the correct regulation heights for your ground conditions, which is especially useful on uneven terrain. Whether you are prepping for your first match or dialing in your splits for a classifier run, this package puts competition-legal steel in your backyard. Ships unpainted. Made in the USA.

Steel Challenge is one of the most accessible practical shooting sports around. Competitors race the clock through five strings per stage, dropping their slowest run and combining the best four. Speed and accuracy both matter. If you are new to the sport, learn more at scsa.org or read the official SCSA rulebook. Steel Challenge is a USPSA organization with over 30 years of history behind it.

To protect your 2x4 uprights from low hits, see our 20" 2x4 Protector Plates.

FAQs

What is Steel Challenge 5 To Go?
5 To Go is one of eight official SCSA classifier stages. Competitors engage each target in sequence, ending on the designated stop plate to stop the timer. Each stage is run five times and the best four strings are combined for a score. Lowest total time wins. The format rewards speed and accuracy equally and is accessible to shooters of all skill levels.

Are these targets legal for SCSA competition?
Yes. The target sizes in this package meet official SCSA specifications for the 5 To Go stage. Consult the SCSA rulebook for full stage layout and target placement requirements.

Why Heavy Duty Static Stands for this package?
Steel Challenge stages require targets to stay precisely positioned through multiple strings of fire. The Heavy Duty Static Stands resist shifting under impact better than lighter stand options, which keeps your stage layout consistent from string to string without resetting between runs.

Why do the stands use 2x4 uprights?
Cutting 2x4s to length lets you set exact regulation heights regardless of terrain. On uneven ground, fixed-height stands require shimming or repositioning. With 2x4 uprights you simply cut to the height needed for your specific ground conditions and the targets sit at the correct elevation from the shooting box.

How do I protect my 2x4 uprights?
Low hits on the upright will chew through a 2x4 quickly under sustained fire. Our 20" 2x4 Protector Plates mounts directly to the upright and extend its service life significantly.

Does this package ship painted?
No. All ShootSteel targets ship unpainted. White and bright orange offer the best contrast downrange for tracking hits.

Is this product made in the United States?
Yes. These targets are manufactured in the United States from domestic AR500 steel.

Do you warranty your products?
Yes. We stand behind our products.
