Tom's grass roots traing brings up a question for the board
I shoot in a weekly 22 pistol falling plate match. It is timed event and the first to get all seven down wins that relay. Lots of fun, very little in the way of prize money, but you do get bragging rights for that weeks.
It has nothing to do with combat or anything other than just a bunch of guys and gals with 22 auto pistols trying to rub the others nose in the dirt. You do have to deal with the basics of proper hold, breath control, sight picture and trigger squeeze and do it all very fast. Ignore the basics and you won't hit many plates.
The range is 50" and the plates are about the size of a package of cigaretts. No trouble to hit in practice, but when the whistle blows and you are shooting against others at the same time, it gets more difficult. Like any competition, it is as much about what is between your ears as what is in your hands.
