For the past few years, I've been visiting friends in Northern California. We go up to one of the guy's cabins and do some shooting for a few days. Guys bring a variety of handguns (wheel and semi), shotguns, and rifles, and we try out each others weapons.
I've wound up being the default range master, and run several courses of fire, varying weapons, distances, and times. I usually run the various Glock courses, and some of the ones I remember from shooting quals. The course that gave us the most problems this year was rifle at 20 yards to on-hand handgun at 15 to off-hand same weapon at 10 yards (there was something in the transition from rifle to handgun that screwed everyone's targeting up; off-hand was always better than on-hand).
"Range" is soil surface (cleared of rocks). Backstop is a small hill. I'd like to keep distances to 25 yards or less. Some trees along right side for barricade positions. Targets will be fixed paper (no turning ones, unless someone has a link to solar powered ones).
I'm starting to run out of ideas. What suggestions do you all have for courses of fire?
