Gophers!
Note different scenario for gophers.
This will be an elimination stage and not scored for time.
A deck of cards will be sorted to contain a red and black card of each denomination corresponding to the number of participants. Each participant will draw a card. Participants will start by competing against the corresponding card of the opposite color. A coin will be flipped to determine who shoots first.
There will be nine gophers. The first competitor to knock over five gophers without hitting a vegetable will advance to the nest round.
A hit on a vegetable will immediately eliminate the participant.
Only rifles will be used. Each participant will load from a table at the shooting position. After each competition the rifles will be cleared at the tables. Participants will alternate shots beginning with the person who won the coin toss.
Winners will advance to the next round until one shooter is left.
That person will be crowned as "Gopher Slayer Extraordinaire!!!"
