The Steel Challenge is a speed shooting competition governed by the (Steel Challenge Shooting Association ) (SCSA) that consists of eight standardized stages with steel targets, ranging in size from 10" (25 cm) round plates to 18x24" (45x60 cm) square plates. Competitors are scored solely by the time it takes them to complete each stage, and the match winner is the competitor with the lowest overall time. The annual World Championship called the World Speed Shooting Championships (WSSC) is held in Frostproof, Florida (since 2012), and draws shooters from around the world. Up until 2011 the World Championship used to be held in Piru, California each year. ==History== The competition was founded by Mike Dalton and Mike Fichman.〔(May 2003 issue of American Handgunner magazine )〕 The Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting Championships have grown to one of the largest professional pistol competitions in America.〔January 2000 issue of American Hangunner http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0BTT/is_144_24/ai_57886948〕 In 2007, more than 220 competitors from the United States and around the world competed for a portion of the $390,000 in cash and prizes - the largest purse in competitive pistol shooting.〔About Us http://steelchallenge.com/about/〕 Seventy shooters competed in the first Steel Challenge in 1981.
