3 years ago I started an event at The Barrie Gun Club that would test a competitors ability in many different aspects of shooting. I tried to make it fair and diverse so you don't need the best and most expensive equipment to compete. Even a single action revolver has competed and did just fine. Looking for constructive feedback. If there is a club in ON that is capable of hosting an event such as this I'd be willing to help host it.

This is the description I give on our forum, we call it;

Jack of all Triggers

This competition is designed to test an indeviduals skill in many different disciplines of shooting such as rifles, shotguns, bows and pistols. We will travel as an organized group so we can RO and score each other. This is a run what you got competition, there is no category differentiation for caliber or type of firearm. (ie compound bow vs crossbow or semi pistol vs revolver) Lunch will be included in the $30 match fee, and water will be provided throughout the day. Registration will begin at#8:30, first shot fired at 9am on the skeet field. Winners name will be engraved on the plaque and displayed in the clubhouse.#

Skeet: 25 birds, normal Skeet rules. Tie broken by longest straight. Then doubles shootoff from stations 3, 4, 5. Top 3 competitors break tie.

Archery: Seven, 3D targets at varying distances, scored by scoring rings on target. Tie broken by throwing out highest and lowest score then by highest score on furthest target.# Scopes allowed but no more than 6x magnification.

Benchrest rifle: 100m 5 shots highest score wins. Tie broken by most X ring score then best group. 10 min time limit includes any sighting or warmup shots. Max 338 cal

Freehand rifle: 50m iron sight or red dot with no magnification. 1 - 4 or similar scopes not allowed. 5 shots on paper target with highest score wins. Tie broken by most X ring score then best group. Max 54 cal

Action Shotgun: 6 plates 15 m. ONLY 5 rounds in gun forcing a reload from the bench, 2 runs. Best combined time. Targets left standing are 5 second penalty. Ties decided by fastest first round.

Action Pistol: 6 plates 15 m. ONLY 6 rounds in gun, 2 runs. Best combined time. Targets left standing are 5 second penalty. Ties decided by fastest first round.

Bullseye pistol: 5 rounds on a paper target at 15 m. Highest score wins. Ties decided by most X ring score then best group. 2 min time limit. Must use same gun as action pistol.

Overall scoring: Each event is scored out of 100 points for first place, 95 for second place, 90 for third and declining by 5 points continuing down the list. Ties will be broken by most first place finishes. Ties will only be broken for first place. If there is an overall tie for first, we will have one special event as a tie breaker, however that event will remain a secret until it is required in competition.# Last year we used a Slingshot.

Maximum 10 participants at my club. We start at 9 am and usually finish around 4:30 Should you lack equipment for an event you may borrow a fellow competitors.

Shoot safe, shoot straight.

Looking for constructive feedback please. We've had a lot of fun with this event but it's a ton of work for me to host.

So you want some other club to host your match according to your rules and you'll simply help?

I think I know why no one responded.

Why not just keep doing it at Barrie?
 
Reading the OP.... It's just way to complicated and un focused.
You're spreading whatever your concept of "competition" is way too thin.
OP states...
"Maximum 10 participants at my club. We start at 9 am and usually finish around 4:30"

10 shooters isn't a "competition"... It's a range day with a few buddies.
Also... 7.5 hours for ten participants...?
Wut?





OP also said...

"Should you lack equipment for an event you may borrow a fellow competitors"


...Again, sounds like a range day with a few friends. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but...

It's an idea that I've seen attempted a few times. The first I saw was the TV show Top Shot. Then the Trijicon Shooting Championships, which I enjoyed attending, although that was the last year they held it.

In both the examples here, guns and ammo were provided by the match. Competitors showed up with their own ear pro, eye pro, and clothing, and shot what was put in their hands at the stage. To get around the issue that comes with factory-fresh stage guns seeing heavy use, they gave everyone a mulligan card for use on one stage in the match.
