I do like the idea, a few issues I can see. The first is the good old "but we don't do it that way attitude". The other more important one is most ranges don't have enough targets and I'll explain why. When shooting Bisley style you are give a time to shoot (from 10-10.35 for example) and this is locked in, so the next shooters can't start until that detail is finished, so you're only getting though 2 shooters in that time frame, shooting string fire you would easily get though 3-4 shooters depending on conditions.
Which means you need more targets/markers or ET's which is a bit of a problem. I looked at this for next years NSWRA Queens, but for us it just isn't doable.

How about scoring time - when one shooter calls the value & the one just fires accepts it. At a scant minimum of 5 seconds, that adds another 2 minutes, then the 5 minutes to set up takes it out to 25 minutes per detail, which would be the time increments that you would need to use to schedule between each squad.
We shot 10 a target on average at the 2017 QRA Queens & completed 4 distances & a lunch break in 8¼ hours average, which came out at around 1 hour 50 a range. Shooting Bisley, you'd need a tad over 2 hours a match, meaning you'd either need more targets or shoot 3, not 4 matches a day, or no lunch, which might suit the shooters, but wouldn't give the range staff any joy.

It hasn't yet happened, mainly because some of the older shooters give less than glowing reports of their experiences with it. I think we need to accept that its not everyone's cup of tea. For that reason, I believe a major prize meeting (rather than a Queens level event) would be a more suitable event to aim for at this stage. You could make it open to all disciplines, but most of the current interest seems to be coming from F-Open and F/TR shooters, which is understandable given that the FCWC individuals will usually use Bisley style. I'd like to see an event using the FCWC format of 15 shot shoots at 800, 900 and 1000yds (or metric equivalent). If there was to be a single annual event it would need a range with sufficient targets for a major event, and be reasonably central. Perhaps Brisbane or Bendigo?
