Thank you Bladeracer. That was very interesting, especially the paper cases.

I don't know where to start it. But it would be a god boost for the sport if we could get this stuff running on ranges.

Has anyone seen or heard of this style being ran? I've seen some stuff from three gun competitions starting to be a thing. But not so much this more open and fluid style.

There are some internet competitions run here in Australia. Many ranges shoot on electronic targets which are also connected to the web so scores distances and times are all recorded and it can be verified they were shot on the same day and time. (not all comps have required this) it is then just a case of reviewing the shooters scores via the web to determine the placings. The big downside of this is of course weather conditions are not the same on each range just because it is the same day and time. someone may have a dead still day while others may have a 30km/hr cross wind or a 50km/hr fishtailing wind.
