Thanks again guys, these have been great ideas and have really got me thinking.
Please let me know if you remember any more.

Most fun I ever had was at the 1st Annual Arnie Clifton Cook n'Shoot.  

Arnie cut the bottoms off of 4 standard plastic water bottles and 2 -2 liter pop bottles, he screwed the bottoms to a board equally spaced apart.  Then he spray painted 3 empty plastic bottles blue and 3 yellow to fit inside the bottoms that he had screwed down.  This made it so the wind wouldn't knock the empty plastic bottles down, and you had to hit it fairly well to knock it out of the holder.  
Then you line up 2-2 person teams and they race to see who can be the first to knock down the opposing teams bottles.  Great fun.  My team came in 3rd place - my husband's team won.  I want one of these just to practice with in my back yard.

The ITBS has a speed shoot which has a tower that looks something like this:
**************
***0---][******
******][---0***
***0---][******
******][---0***
******][******
******][******
******][******
*****/**\\*****
****/****\\****
**_/******\\_**
**************
(Ignore the asterisks)

One archer each side with six arrows.  Start at signal and shoot targets (the zeros above)on your side.  When you hit one they shift to the other side (spring loaded).  When all twelve arrows are gone the archer with the most targets on their side is gone too.  Sorry, I don't have pictures and the representation is a little crude.  PM me and I'll see if I can design something on the autocad and e-mail it to you.  Happy hunting.

-Brett

P.S.  This is a timed event, 30-45 seconds, which really puts the pressure on.

Oh, another one that's fun is to save up a bunch of 20 oz pop bottles and hang them on a teeter totter type balance pole and have two guys shoot against each other to see who can shoot holes in the bottle and drain their side first.  One arrow in the bottom and one at the top works best.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.
