My area runs about the same schedule. October through March is indoor bullseye and Monday nights too!

Guns are just machines and without you they can do no harm, nor any good
My top speed is somewhere around brisk mosey right now, a shooting game where you can stand still sounds pretty good.

Nice shooting, P.E!
My local club started a bullseye match about 6 months ago and I've shot two matches thus far. It's been good practice for me as I'm NOT a bullseye shooter. Fortunately, they allow us to use both hands or SHO as we please. I'd say 2/3rds the shooters use both hands like me.
We fire 90 rounds of .22LR and the 90 rounds of CF. In the two matches I've shot, I was in the half of the scores. While I struggle with iron sights due my vision, my favorite bullseye gun is the 6" Clark Custom Colt longslide in .45 ACP built in 1969.
Shot the local bullseye match today using my Ruger Ruger Mark II/Volquartsen complete 22/45 frame with a C-More 6 MOA dot and scored 820 with it. Shot a 780 IIRC with the above 6" Clark Custom Colt longslide in .45 ACP using a 185 gr JHP over 5.2 grs of W231.
When the match was over I shot 7 test rounds of 200 gr Bear Creek moly SWCs over 4.2 grs of AA#2 to test for function as these are the first SWCs I've loaded in .45 ACP. I had one failure to eject due to, I believe, not enough powder in the round. I'll have to test for accuracy at different loads in the future. The AA#2 does not appear to burn as cleanly at that low of a charge as W231 does.

Excellent shooting P.E.
Back in the late 90's-early 2000's, I shot bullseye with a 6" Smith model 14.
Loads of fun!

Revolver B-Eye is a real challenge! Bravo!
