Each month, I have probably used 45-50 rounds per match, then after the match how ever many you like during plinking. Not sure on the number of targets, but you will do plenty of shooting during the match.
March was formatted a little different than Feb which was nice because I 2 friends along shooting past 200yds for the first time.
Anyway, almost all targets are full size torsos, with a few head size plates out to 400yds or so. The majority of the match is spent with the RO calling out the target, and then the shooter gets 20 sec to find and shoot 2 rounds at the target. We have also had a stage where we had to range using the reticle in out optic and take a shot, can't remember if we were given a follow up shot or not on that one. We have ran a stage where we were only allowed to adjust scope turrets one time and then use the reticle to make hits at different distances. Each stage usually has between 5 and 10 targets so there will be plenty of shooting per stage. Back in Feb, we had a stage planned where the closest target was about 1200yds and the furthest was 1500ish, we ended up skipping that because the shooters that day were using rifles that would be iffy at those ranges.
All in all, there is a lot of potential here and each month should continue to offer a better match.
