Shooting a PCC at Steel Challenge as a second gun is an easy way for me to refam the carbine.
I have done almost no dedicated Steel Challenge practice, meaning setting up stages and drilling them. I practice fundamentals like the draw and transitions, and assume it will translate into Steel Challenge results. That is probably a poor way to roll if you are super into Steel Challenge, but I am using Steel Challenge as a skills builder rather than my primary shooting game.
