Milo-2, we run our matches all at 200 yards. When we first started we tried rimfire at 100 and centerfire at 200 but the interest all seemed to migrate to centerfire. Originally, we took five shooters at a time, each paying $1.00; $3 to winner and $2 to the club. It was not unusual to go through 500 eggs! Our egg shoots actually evolved into IBS score shooting in 2004 and for the past few years we've only had one shoot a year, a memorial to one our shooters who suffered an untimely death.
We now run formal registration, shoot three relays of 10 shooters, with a sight-in target for the first target and then only five shots at five eggs from then on, in 10-minute relays. No wind flags. Every shooter has a scorer with a spotting scope and score cards are marked and collected.
Our classes are: "box stock" factory (nope, no tinkering of any kind), "hot rod" factory which is third-party trigger, barrel, stock, etc., and custom. Any scope, no one-piece rests.
Our presentation is similar to the early shots in the Saubier video above. Target frames with wire mounts and white-shelled eggs sitting on top. After three relays, and mixed classes shoot together in the relays, any ties are broken by a final round of five eggs shot one at a time until someone misses. Any ties left are then decided by one shot at at bullseye, closest to center wins. Last year I won by the width of a bullet and this year I got second by about half the width of a bullet.
It's probably the most fun event we have at our range and draws a great group of shooters.
