A virtual variation on NRA Bullseye Pistol.
NRA Bullseye is the granddaddy of pistol competition. You shoot standing, unaided, ONE-HANDED. Competitors typically stand sideways and place their off-hand in their pants pocket. The original courses of fire were designed for shooters to master Civilian (.22lr), Police (.38 spl) and Military (.45 ACP) pistol shooting.
We'll shoot the three slowfire stages at 50 feet to allow for indoor shooting. I could only find a .pdf file of the NRA's official 50 yard target, so we'll have a little bit more target to shoot than the real deal.
Target: http://www.tackdriver.com/pix0703/nra50sf.pdf
Stage 1 -- Civilian -- .22 caliber rimfire -- 10 Shots slowfire. 50 feet. 100 points maximum. One-handed. Standing. No time limit.
Stage 2 -- Law Enforcement -- Centerfire, any centerfire caliber. You can use your .45 ACP 1911 here. 10 Shots slowfire. 50 feet. 100 points maximum. One-handed. Standing. No time limit.
Stage 3 -- Military -- .45 ACP Caliber. 10 Shots slowfire. 50 feet. 100 points maximum. One-handed. Standing. No time limit.
Total possible 300-30x
Classes:
1. Hard Ball -- All pistols in each stage are standard, out of the box. The military stage is shot with 230 grain, full metal jacket, round nose bullet ammo out of a standard military 1911 with no improvements in trigger, grips, barrel, barrel bushing, etc. The fore strap and rear of the grip may be covered with non-slip adhesive tape. Fixed sites on the .45, but scopes allowed in rimfire and centerfire stages.
2. Standard -- All stages use out of the box pistols with no improvements other than scopes or adjustable sites. Target ammo allowed. Scopes allowed.
3. Improved -- One or more stage uses a pistol with improved barrel, trigger, bushing, etc. or a pistol from a manufacturer with a guaranteed MOA. Target ammo allowed. Scopes allowed.
4. Open -- For those who do not have both a .22 and .45 pistol. Any pistol allowed in any stage.

Been almost a year since I practiced this anyway. Maybe I'll actually send in a target this time.
