This would be something for our club members only. Maybe start out with .22 pistol.
I was thinking we could do something like $5 to enter, bullseye targets, 5 at 20 yards, then after eliminating people, they would move up to 5 at 30 yards, OR you could pay another $5 to stay in for that 5 at 30 yards round. This would keep it fun and interesting. I have never run a competition before, but am sick of hearing how much income the bar makes, or meat raffles. I want to see the pistol range, and eventually the rifle range start having some events where they can bring in even small amounts of money.
Eventually, I would like to bring in outsiders (NES?) for competitions. They used to do pin matches, and I suppose we could again. They never really advertised, but I bet if we did, it might generate some interest.
For now, it would just be for bragging rights, and maybe a couple boxes of .22 ammo or something. I want to keep prices low, to get people interested and coming back for more.
Other thoughts:
Tricky area:
1)_Since this is new territory, it could be anywhere from 1-5 people, to who knows how many. Need to have a means of accommodating different turnouts.
2) How to avoid pissing matches over scoring. How to run a match (money, registration, scorekeeping) and safety at the same time.
Any input welcome.

Other thoughts:
- Winter Shoot (short notice, on the crappiest Winter day possible)
- Winter Pin Shoot (since nobody else seems do do one in the Winter)
- 10/20/30 Shoot (10 shots at 10 yards, 20 shots at 20 yards, 30 shots at 30 yards; those with most black missing wins)
- mixed .22 rifle/pistol shoot, win based on either one, or combined scores?
- dueling tree $5 to enter, $1 for each new level?
- 3-gun: We did one of these before, mostly 9mm for pistol, 12 ga for shotgun, and mix of 9mm carbine, 30-30, AR for rifle. It was "interesting", but actually pretty fun. Lots of room to make up different types of 3 gun contests, always keeping safety top concern.
