This is a Splendid idea.

For something of this potential scale, though, I would say keep it as simple as possible.
Shooting for group size is easiest, as any target will suffice.
If shooting for target score, then stick to something like an NRA bullseye target at 25 yds for the handguns with separate rimfire and centerfire matches (having different categories for centerfire calibers could get cumbersome).

For rifles, you could designate a range for rimfire and centerfire and use an NRA target also, or for kicks, use a simulated sniper target. I found one that simulates a 'Carlos Hathcock' type shot at another sniper. The scoring zone simulates the other sniper's scope lens. You could go for tightest group here also.

Just my $.02 worth...

That is why I said let's pick a target we can print out (all the same) then simple iron sights, optics, all STOCK guns.

Closest to the 'x' and smallest group, off hand and SIMPLE bench (truck hood/sand bags).

This vacation interupted for the following message:

I propose the five bullseye with 1/2" lines from this site

http://www.mytargets.com/

I've used these targets for almost everything I shoot at one time or another.

Now back to the grouse woods ... see you all in a few days !!!

If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.
