Getting ready to put on a little steel shootout with some locals/friends in the valley and wanted to run it by with you all and get some more ideas to make it fun and challenging.Just to give an idea of the crowd that will be there,will range from guys who shoot a .270 with a 3x9 scope that might not even shoot 2 boxes a year to others who really get fancy with their gear.So a wide mix of shooters,but really the goal is to have fun and let some others pick up some shooting/gear tips.Not sure if any of you have shot any PRS matches but I'm sure some good ideas could come from that type of match.Any ideas/rules/a scenario/different way to score etc are welcome.. Here are my thoughts so far and thanks in advance! I will post pictures of the shoot afterwards.
Rules:
There will be 4 stations of fire consisting of 3-4 targets per stage.As of now 13 targets total,no more than 16.
Targets will be from 50-600 yards.
Shooting positions will consist of practical hunting/shooting positions,each target may or may not have a "scenario"/par time. (Example:The big buck is about to head into the trees and you have xx seconds to engage it with shooting sticks etc...)There will also be natural object courses of fire to shoot from as well.
Scoring goes as follows:Shoot until you hit scoring.
1st round hit-5 points
2nd Round hit-3 points
3rd Round hit-1 point

There will also be added "bonus" targets at positions, that if hit are worth an extra point(1).
If your par time runs out or 3 shots have been fired before the target is hit,any shots afterwards will not be recorded for points.
There will be an "official" keeping score and safety in check.Also spotters are welcomed,so bring your spotting scope.
Misses/corrections can be called by anyone you choose,Coaching is welcomed..Hits will be called/scored by scorekeeper.
Highest score wins,if the result of a tie exists there can be a best 3 shot group to settle the score.
No alcohol will be permitted during the shootout,however welcomed at the BBQ when the shooting is over.No one should be sent home,but drinking will be your ticket out if your still shooting.
Firearms will remain unloaded behind the line of fire at all times.NO exceptions.
No steel core/AP ammo allowed,tears up the steel.
YOU are responsible and held liable for all your actions,be safe have fun.
