Also an example of the types of things that are absent from most USPSA and IDPA matches. It's not that there are not course designs available that exercise these skill sets; it's that match directors habitually do not choose them, either because they're not 'fun', or because they may be more of a pain to set up and tear down, or they require more attention and effort on the part of the RO's, or you couldn't run as many shooters per hour through that stage design.
When I was functioning as match director for my local USPSA club, they knew that they were going to see https://uspsa.org/viewer/pdf/99-09.pdf CM99-09 Long Range Standards twice a year, and a lot of whining accompanied each appearance as there were apparently only 3 of us who sighted and practiced at ranges over 25 yards. My response was invariably "don't like my selections? then step up and serve as match director once in a while". I'd also throw in stages like
https://uspsa.org/viewer/pdf/99-63.pdf
https://uspsa.org/viewer/pdf/99-51.pdf
https://uspsa.org/viewer/pdf/03-18.pdf
https://uspsa.org/viewer/pdf/99-46.pdf
at least four times a year. They all contain the dirty word 'Standards' in the title and involve strong hand only/week hand only, some at distance.
After two years, I found I suddenly wasn't needed as match director any more!
