How to Find and Register for Training Events & Matches

Finding and registering for a shooting match or training is a straightforward process, thanks to the online platform Practiscore. This site serves as a hub for match scheduling, competitor registration, and score reporting. To get started, you must create a free account on Practiscore. Once registered, navigate to the “Matches” or "Events" section and use the search function to locate activity in your area. If you're specifically looking for a Steel Challenge match, you can filter results accordingly. The site will provide key details such as match location, date, round count requirements, and any special notes from the organizers.

After finding an activity that fits your schedule, follow the registration instructions provided on the event page. Many matches, especially Level I club matches, allow for in-person registration on the day of the event, but spots can fill up quickly. Online registration is typically the best option to guarantee your participation. Some matches may require prepayment, while others allow you to pay at check-in. Be sure to check for any squad selection options if you want to shoot with friends or ensure you’re placed in a group that matches your experience level.

Once registered, take note of important details such as the event start time, required gear, and any local range rules. Match directors and Instructors often send out emails with additional details, so keep an eye on your inbox. If you’re new to competitive shooting, consider reaching out to the organizer or match director with any questions—they can provide guidance on equipment requirements, safety protocols, and what to expect.

For competitions, arriving early on match day gives you time to check in, attend the safety briefing, and get comfortable with the range layout before the competition begins. By planning ahead and registering in advance, you’ll have a smooth and enjoyable experience.
