Welcome to Metal Mania. Observers are welcome to view this match. Non-members are welcome to participate in Metal Mania matches but are limited to participation in the match only, and are not allowed to shoot either before, or after a match unless accompanied by a club member as their guest.
Metal Mania match tests your speed and accuracy with a handgun using metal target arrays placed between 10 & 15 yards from the shooter. At each of five stages, competitors will attempt to hit (mark) or knock down all of the steel plates in the shortest amount of time. Competitors will shoot from within a box ensuring everyone is the same distance from the targets. The starting position is pistol holstered with arms raised in surrender position, except for Low Ready shooters, which start pointing at a designated aiming plate. Each of the 5 stages are shot with 5 runs/strings for a minimum of 25 shots per stage with the slowest time for each stage dropped from scoring. No single run shall exceed 30 seconds unless specifically designated.
This is a beginner friendly match. The minimum number of rounds needed is 125 (if you don't miss). It's recommended that you bring at least 200 rounds of ammunition and a minimum of 3 or more magazines. This will allow you to shoot all 5 stage strings without the need to top up magazines. *Note: Hitting a designated Stop Plate anytime during a course of fire immediately ends that run/string regardless of how many other plates have been hit or not.
Divisions breakdown by Centerfire and Rimfire. Centerfire with an optic but no compensator is Carry Optics (CO). Centerfire with an optic and compensator is OPEN. Center fire with iron sights is STOCK. ISR is Iron Sight Revolver, OSR is Optic Sight Revolver.
As a match that caters to new competitors, you don't have to have a holster. Choose between the following divisions: RFPI is Rimfire Pistol Iron sight, RFPO is Rimfire Pistol Optic sights. CFLR-Iron is Centerfire Low Ready using Iron sights and CFLR-Optic is Centerfire Low Ready using Optic sights.
**Only DPC approved holsters for competition are allowed (listed further below). ***Guns must be carried between stages in a box, rug, bag, or an allowed holster.
