Berlin Steel Challenge 03 - 2026

This BDS Steel Challenge has four stages—5 to Go, Pendulum, Smoke and Hope, and Roundabout—with five runs per stage and the worst run discarded; the minimum is 100 shots, and the organizer says each entry takes one hour. The match is scheduled for 12–15 November 2026; the listed pre-match on Thursday at 10:00 is restricted to ROs and helpers, while the squad listing shows Friday start slots. The first start costs €40 and each additional start €32; juniors up to age 21 are free, and payment by bank transfer is due within seven calendar days of registration. The match is full and new registrations are waitlist-only. Each shooter may enter at most four times, only once in each division and once per time slot; holster experience is required in divisions 10001–10004, and competitors are asked to arrive at least 30 minutes before their start. Shooters should bring sufficient magazines or speedloaders; if they cannot arrange for another person to refill them during the next string, each necessary loading interruption incurs a three-second procedural penalty. Registration check-in requires a BDS membership card, and eye and ear protection are mandatory for everyone on the range. Photography and filming at the range are prohibited except for persons accredited by the Match Director.

€40 for the first start; €32 for each additional start; juniors up to 21 years are free.
