Okay, so this will probably sound strange to you guys that are putting thousands of rounds of .22 downrange per year, but I'm new at this. Sure, my brother and I shot the heck out of our .22s 40-45 years ago, but since then, I've...uhm,...been busy, with other stuff.
So, our local long range area is off limits for 2 months during Florida turkey hunting, because hunters draw more money than LR shooters for the landowner. So, I got picked (okay, I'm a sucker that likes to run matches and shoot matches, so will do what it takes.) to run a .22 precision rifle match in April. I've been doing a bit of research and found some good info at nrl22.org and a couple other places, but could use some pointers on what type of stages you guys like to see and shoot when having a fun .22 match.
Some facts:
Have at it...
And thanks in advance.

Some facts:
- I have been running a few local precision rifle matches every year here for those into PRS style shooting.
- I have up to 300 meters (about 329 yards) available.
- I have a number of paper targets available for this and have personally created about 50 different paper target designs for other matches, so that's a plus.
- I only currently own 1 piece of steel that is optimal for .22 use. I have a bunch of heavier steel for centerfire, but don't think it's optimal for .22 use.
- many, if not most shooters in this match will be doing this for the first time, just like me.
- this should be fun...
- ...but challenging
Have at it...
And thanks in advance.
