Bandera Steel Challenge

05/31/2026

Folks,

The Club Owners asked me to pass this on:

***Reminder: You may collect your own brass afterward, but brass already on the range belongs to the range.

Please don't pick up any brass other than what you make yourself.***

Reminder: If you need more ballistic therapy, Mike Webb’s excellent Texas Tactical matches happen several times a month.

His new range at Total Hit Ranch, just west of San Antonio, is great. Details here: https://practiscore.com/clubs/texas_tactical

TacCon 2027. April 2-4 at the Dallas Pistol Club

Friends,

Tickets for next year’s TacCon should go on sale in the next week. TacCon is the premier annual event for self-defense-minded folks, both new and experienced.

It’s three days of 40+ nationally recognized trainers, about 350 attendees, live-fire range blocks, classroom blocks, and hands-on training in medical, legal, empty hands, managing unknown contacts and much more.

The event has sold out in a very short time in most previous years, so if you want to reserve your spot, be sure to check taccon.info often.

NOTE: Anyone offering to sell or transfer their tickets to you is a scammer. TacCon tickets are not transferable.

What a difference a few months makes!

Only four or five months ago I was struggling to get enough Steel Challenge competitors to make it worthwhile to put on the match (sometimes only 20 folks or so).

I had to think hard on what my minimum registration number was going to be.

Last month we had 55 shooters.

This month is looking even better!

I have had to set a maximum number for this match, and we're only a few away!
