Sac Law Man,
I've been shooting with you and Ron about a year now and like you enjoy the running and gunning. I haven't paid much attention to the demographics of the club, just that I get beat by young and old every month . I have yet to take the leap into stage design but have noticed my favorite stages becoming the ones that are not follow-the-leader. The most physically demanding stages seem to be fast as you can, shoot a bunch and stay on the trail scenarios (follow the leader). To me the more open-ended scenarios are more satisfying but do sometimes get picked apart during walk-through. Feels like most people want to be told exactly what to do rather than using a little imagination. I do not see a bias toward a specific age group/ability at this club, which must translate to a broad spectrum of stage designers.
Just a FNG's (fairly new guy's) 2 cents .
