I'm using the downtime during the cold months to get my kit all together and sorted out. I'll shoot the next one. When does the actual 'shoot for score' match start? How much time between shoots? How many shoots in total? Maybe post a calendar with the events and dates. I not trying to make work for anyone just suggesting stuff to get this done. If a system is developed it makes the organizing easier next time around too.
My suggestions for what they're worth,
- One event per month, easy to remember and allows those who don't have access to a range or have work restrictions time to get out.
- If we have the schedule, targets, shoot descriptions ahead of time people can shoot multiple events for each range visit if they like.
- Shooting during the relatively warmer months will appeal to more shooters. I'm thinking April through September, 6 shoots total. Also allows time to organize this well. Maybe another fun event before then to get people into it.
- Have a closing date for submissions of targets, midnight on the last day of each month. Penalty for late submissions so that the laggards move their a**es.
- Submission standards when submitting targets with specific info. on who is submitting target ect., conditions, caliber, gun specs., ammo specs. Where/who to submit targets to. Scanned PDF of target would be my choice and info. label top right. Targets should have a scale printed on them to make scaling easy, also 8.5x11 for easy printing and distribution.
- Have an entree fee that goes toward prises, that way people have a vested interest in staying with it and some insentive to participate.
- Figure out some basic classes of rifle bolt/auto/vintage, something like that with a prise for each class and overall winner. Maybe a prize worst shooter (I'm thinking of myself here), like a shooting clinic or some coaching. For the Savage guy this will mean a trade in on a Remington

.
Maybe put this all down in the form of a pdf book in the end so it's easily distributed.
That's just some brainstorming on my part.
