In the U.S. there are no set distances since there is no governing body, but most competitions have something at 33' since this standard overseas. Targets are around shoulder height. Most competitions in U.S. have another at something at around twice that distance. In the U.S we have woods courses. Targets at different heights and distance to simulate shooting wild game. I don't think they do this in other countries. Many tournaments in the U.S. have speed shoots, pickle fork completion, ball chase races, Dennis the Menace shoots
and other fun stuff. Sometimes these events count for your overall score, sometimes they are just for fun.

It seems like in the U.S. most tournaments are held outdoors while other countries hold theirs indoors.

This what I have come away with by viewing competitions on YouTube. I am sure people who attended more tournaments that I have will chime in.
