We have a little "practical" pistol club that shoots once a month at a range up in the hills. We are the "No Name Pistol Club." The matches are usually started from the "hands off holstered" pistol position, although we sometimes start from a "surrender" position or from a pistol on the table start. Last month, we had a charging silhouette - a target stand on a furniture dolly pulled along with a cord pulled by another member behind the shooting line. THe scenario was that the charger had body armor on and you had to score a head shot before the target crossed a certain line.
Sometimes, we shoot the metal plates (6 on the rack), pepper poppers, bowling pins or clay pigeons. We usually have an optional 3-gun stage, involving rifle, pistol and shotgun. Almost all shooting is against the clock, to simulate stress.
The October match is a recreation of the OK Corral shootout - you get extra points for shooting a single action revolver!
