#4 has me puzzled--no cardboard targets? Only flapping paper is allowed? Ick.

No lead bullets? In the bad old days, the indoor ranges decreed jacketed bullets Verboten, as they were harder on the bullet traps.

Anyway, try combining the paper targets with a "stop plate" device like a bowling pin in each firing lane. If the bullet trap can handle hits at floor level, you're okay. Still, it's probably better to put them on a very sturdy cardboard box. Shoot at paper and score the high three, and count a fallen pin as 10 points. Leaves two extra rounds in a six-shooter--how will YOU use them?

Have a moderate time limit, like 10 seconds.

If high shots are not a problem (target carrier damage!), you can also do three-round failure to stop drills, with a balloon taped to the head zone. Heck, tape a small balloon to the center of your A-zone and give extra points for drilling it.

Be careful about having the shooters fire from forward of the firing line. Many indoor ranges do not have enough armor out there to contain a vertical AD/ND.

Consider using reduced-size targets. Maybe even hang two from a wood crossbar on each firing lane, to give a multi-target engagement stage.

Have a stage with every target holding one of those 2-inch square exploding targets exactly in the center. Everyone shoots, and the first one to bang their explosive wins that stage. The paper targets will be shredded, so don't even think about scoring the other hits.
