Adam,
What I did years ago at our club, as the match director, was to introduce a match for cast and lever guns. We already had a handgun silhouette match held every month. To increase our participation we started shooting what I called Cowboy Silhouette, using the handgun targets out to 200 meters. The rifles shot in a regular handgun silhouette match. Rules were very simple, all guns shot off hand, no body support, lever guns with rimmed cartridges could use jacketed bullets all other rifles or cartridges required cast. Two categories, scoped and iron sights to get your old duffers into the game. 3/4 of the entry fee went to the winners, 1st, 2nd and 3rd with half to 1st. It was a very fun match and gave the guys with cast and lever guns something to shoot besides paper.

One thing that will happen is that all the 357mag Marlins in the area will disappear. You will also see some interesting guns show up, like originals of the BP era.
