Jack:

Getting back to your question:

Revolver: 7-10 yds
Rifle: 13-50 yrds (most will be in the 15-25 yrd range.
Shotgun: 8-16 yds. (Most will be in the 8-10 yrd range and low to the ground}

Target size will vary, but 16" X 16" is the recommended standard. If you use steel they should be set a little off vertical so that when the lead bullet strikes them the bullet is deflected downward.

On a standard stage of 10 pistol, 10 rifle and 4 shotgun the average shooter around here will get through it in say 30-35 sec, a good shooter in 25-30 sec, an excellent shooter in the high teens to low twenty seconds. Of course all of that is dependent on the complexity of the stage. Misses are 5 sec penalty each, procedural errors (shooting something out of sequence) is 10 sec penalty.
