I'll let others more knowledgeable about those sports comment on your plans in detail, but I will say that there is a reason other ranges won't allow such things as fast draw, shooting on the move, and the like, and the reason is one word - liability. Shooting is a safe sport, but some versions may just be a tad less safe than others. With proper backstops and a good location, there would probably be no problem, but in a built up area things will be different.

Even competitors can (and will) sue the club/range even when damage is the result of their own stupidity. The guy who shoots himself in the leg doing fast draw sues because he was "encouraged" to engage in an unsafe practice. Then of course, with any shooting at a hard surface, there is the possibility of bounce back, which rarely causes any serious damage, but could.
