We used to shoot matches in my best friend's backyard range. It only went to 50 meters so we sat the tiny NRA rimfire rifle silouettes at 25, 37, about 42 and 50 meters and shot them with iron sighted .22LR handguns. I mostly used my long barreled S&W 17 and Billy mostly his Ruger Super Single Six 9.5". We used semiautos also from time to time.
I had a swinger of each of them as well as a prairie dog swinger and we sat them out and shot them as well. We knocked that little chicken off the swinger several times and cupped it back at the edges from all the hits at 25 meters free hand. When he and I shot matches it was an all day affair and many hundreds of rounds. We'd shoot six shot matches and it most often took six and pretty much never less than five to win. At times it took several more rounds in a shoot off to determine the winner as we hit that little half dollar size target at 25 meters way more than we missed.
We had one of those rimfire dueling tree targets set up as well and shot it until we broke the chicken clean off and all that was left was the bar and a small piece of the base left. We called it the "nub" and shot it as well.
We shot two liter coke bottles at 50 meters, 12 oz drink cans filled with water at 37 meters and the inside area of drink cans at 25 meters with the bottom pointed at us. You hand to cut the inner area of the bottom, the cupped area to make it count. That was our centerfire target course.
We shot registered competitions and hunted with revolvers as well.
