I've been using the same training stage for my outdoor action pistol training for several years. It consists of only two targets, two vision barriers (i.e. stacks of barrels), and 4 shooting positions. It's a very simple setup that allows me to practice a lot of different skills, and is very easy to setup the same each time I go to my outdoor range to train.
I've always thought that this training stage could actually be used for a match with a simple setup and I actually got the opportunity to do that. I've taken my simple training stage concept and turned it into a monthly indoor action pistol match at the private indoor range that I train at regularly. The match will be setup the same every month so that people can track their personal progress over time, and the simple layout will make it easy for me set it up quickly and not get burned out from running the match every month.
Even though it's a very simple layout, it has several different challenges such as shooting on the move, reloads, moving into and out of shooting positions aggressively, and moving up range. The two targets are just re-engaged from each shooting position, and only the areas outside of the "A-zone" are taped up to reset the stage to save time and resources. The two targets are spaced approximately 3 yards apart, the vision barriers and forward shooting positions are approximately 5 yards away from the targets and spaced 4 to 5 yards apart, and the center rearward shooting position is approximately 12 yards away from the targets. The stage layout can be run from 4 different start positions as shown in the videos below.
