So, Mykeal, Dlon & I have started it off.

For pistol, just to get things going, how about
No Classes
One-handed
25 yards
International Rules - best 10 of 13 shots. No sighters. 5-5-3 loading
Any caliber
Center-of impact scoring

Report make of gun, sights, and load.

Tuesday, weather permitting, I'll try again.
This time I have those nice big unwieldy International reduced 26/50 yard targets.
They are available from midwayusa.com, but as a patriotic Michigander I bought a Lifetime Supply locally at pistoleers.com

I'll be participating, but it will take me a few days. Something about this pesky "work" business that keeps interfereing with my shooting schedule.

How about a fun Black Powder Cartridge Rifle Shoot.
7th Annual Sagebrush BPCR Match in Alliance Nebraska. 2 days 80 rounds.
2009 had 119 shooters from all across the US.
Here's a flier:

Since nobody can agree on anything, I'd like to show you all how us Tennesseeans do it. Over at TGO, they've been doing competitions like this for quite a while now. The rules are simple, forgiving and effective. I recommend similar rules for several different categories of shooting by type of weapon without aiming aids (this includes benches and rests). So, have a thread dedicated to Walkers, another to 1858 rem's, etc.
