Please join the Texas Concealed Handgun Association (TCHA) as we host our 3rd Steel Fun Shoot on September 16, 2017 in the Arlington, Texas area. This event is geared for the everyday shooter. Check in time is from 8:00AM to 8:45AM. Safety Briefing will be from 8:45AM to 9:00AM, with the shooting starting at 9:30AM. The scoring will be kept simple. There will be a specific number of rounds allowed per participant and the scoring will be based on the number of hits within the allotted time. Participants will shoot two rounds for a combined total of hits in order to determine the winner. We will have a Shoot-Off Round for tie scores.
You will need a reliable, modern semi-automatic pistol or revolver chamber in .380, .38, .9mm, .40 or .45 (no magnum pistols). Tiny pocket pistols, antique or cheap pistols, such as Makarovs, are not suitable for this event. If you have any questions, please call Larry C. Patterson at 817-501-3182.
You will need to have at least 150 rounds of ammunition. Factory ammunition is preferred but high quality reloaded ammunition is acceptable if you load it. Do not bring reloaded ammunition loaded by someone else as there is no way to assure safety and quality. It is recommended that revolver shooters have at least one or two speed loaders and semi-auto pistol shooters are encouraged to bring additional magazines as the range has four (4) stations. Please wear closed-toed footwear for the range. No tank tops or muscle shirts due to “HOT BRASS”. The shooters will be under a covered area so shooting will take place rain or shine.
A trophy will be awarded to the top shot. The shoot will be held at the Arlington Sportsman’s Club, 11500 CR 525, Mansfield, TX 76063. Go to https://goo.gl/maps/7QFQkQCWrcy for directions to the range. The entrance fee is $30.00, which includes the range fee. Note: You do not need to be a member of the Arlington Sportsman’s Club to participate in this event.
The event is limited to the first thirty-five (35) shooters who register either online at or call TCHA headquarters at 866-516-5117.
