Story: Cattle rustlers have been making a big dent in your herd but you've tracked them to an isolated line shack in the Sweet Grass Hills on Sage Creek. You commence to shoot it out with them. You pick several off inside the cabin and the rest make a run for it. When you're done you find the bad guys stacked up like chordwood.
Starting with your shotgun at position 1 say your line "I want my cows back!" to start the timer.
Shoot the two shotgun targets left, right, left right.
With your rifle shoot the targets off the Texas Star doing your best to stack them like chordwood. One second bonus for each Texas Star target on the ground touching another target.

"The Luck of the Draw"
Rifle - 10 rounds
Pistol - 10 rounds
Shotgun - 2+ rounds
Stage Set: 4 card suit targets. Two resetting shotgun targets.
Story: You're engaged in a cutthroat poker game in Nuttall's Saloon No.10 in Deadwood with that lazy eye'd scoundrel Jack McCall. You've got a winning hand but he keeps raising the bid and you have to finally put up your brace of matched Colt 1851 conversions to match his raise. You both show your hands and you win. This cleans Jack out so you throw him a $1.00 chip so he can buy breakfast. This irritates Jack to no end which leads to dire consequences the next day.
Before the buzzer deal five cards from the deck. Arrange them by suits in any way you wish. This order will be the way you shoot the targets. The value of each hand drawn will be recorded and the shooter with the highest poker hand in each posse will receive a ten second bonus. If, by chance, you deal the "Dead Man's Hand" of two Aces and two eights (all black) you get a 20 second penalty.
To start the buzzer say your line. "Get something to eat Jack!"
At the buzzer from position 1 use your rifle and shoot the targets twice in the order relating to the cards order. Shoot the two shotgun targets left, right. Stage your shotgun and move to position 2. With your handguns shoot the targets in the same order as the rifle.

If you use the rifle you can load up to ten rounds at the loading table before you shoot. If you use handguns they can each (or just one) loaded with five rounds with the hammer on an empty chamber. You will reload the remaining rounds, if needed, on the clock. Extra rounds to establish a total of 30 rounds will be placed in a box on the table. Rounds dropped in the box can be used. Rounds dropped on the table outside the box or on the ground are dead. They may be replaced from your person. Establish with the RO what you will be reloading.
You�ve planted a nice garden out where the old corral was located and the turnips, carrots and beans are looking good. You head out to hoe some weeds and whoa and behold the garden has been invaded by whole passel of gophers! Since you always go heeled you commence to wipe out gophers.
Under no circumstances do you want to shoot your prize winning punkin. It�s a sure winner at the county fair and first prize is $15.00. Fifteen second penalty for any HIT on the pumpkin. (only one penalty per stage) Avoid your wife�s tomatoes,. Five second penalty for any tomatoes knocked off the plant. Finally, there is the large gourd you�ve been saving to build a birdhouse. Ten point penalty for hitting the gourd.
Start holding the hoe in both hands. Say your line �Eat lead you varmints!� At the buzzer place the hoe in the gun rack and using the firearms in any order you wish you commence to shooting gophers in any order you wish. You must fire a firearm until it is empty. You can then stage it on the table. Rifles with action open and chamber empty. Handguns with hammer down on fired round or empty chamber. You may pick up a firearm from the table and load it to shoot more gophers. Shoot and reload until all the gophers are down or you run out of ammunition (30 rounds total). Any gophers remaining standing when you have fired your 30 rounds will be counted as misses. If you have any rounds left in your firearms when all the gophers are down clear them under supervision of the RO before leaving the shooting position.
A gopher knocked down in any way is a kill. Hits on gophers that do not knock them down are not kills.
Irregardless of what class you are competing in you may shoot the handgun using two hands.
