I belong to a gun club that has seen very poor pistol match attendance of late. The club offers three monthly pistol matches: 1) NRA 2700 Bullseye, 2) A PPC-style match, and 3) a 90 shot variation of the 2700, using targets at 25 and 15 yards.
For various reasons, the club is neither equipped nor inclined to accommodate more popular "run and gun" style matches, that IMHO would attract more shooters interested in practical-style shooting.
Therefore, I am looking to suggest a different style match that would appeal to potential members and existing members. Some of the parameters should be:
1) The shooter must remain stationary while the gun is loaded. But different positions, standing, prone, etc. are allowed at the range.
2) Rapid fire is allowed.
3) I am not sure how the club feels about speed draws from holsters. A lift from a bench should be fine though.
For example, the club's layout could accommodate a shooter simultaneously engaging targets at 7yd, 15, 25, and 50 yards. There are also steel plates on swingers of various sizes at 50 yards.
I would like to involve a shot-timer, and create some kind of match that rewards speed & accuracy. Also perhaps certain adjustments/handicapping for caliber, etc.
Any suggestions, particularly of matches that have a proven interest at your club, are appreciated.
