STEEL CITY PRECISION is a group of dedicated precision rifle shooters, based out of Birmingham, AL. Our mission is to support the precision rifle community by providing precision rifle “field” competitions to law abiding citizens, law enforcement, and military customers. These events are intended to simulate realistic target engagements in a natural terrain setting.  

We are the exclusive designers of the S3AT® System, a Professional Grade AR500- first of its kind, anatomic steel target.

Steel City Precision has a history of supporting service member charities via cash contributions from target systems sales and precision rifle competitions. To date, we have raised over $50,000 for the Army Sniper Association.

Our members' backgrounds include military, law enforcement and small business owners.
