KD to release swinger with release target and 9 KD targets for handgun.
Four KD shotgun targets.
Your hanging out in Tom Nutall's #10 Saloon in Deadwood when that droop eyed hooplehead Jack McCall comes in and starts disparaging your marksmanship abilities. Soon his taunting becomes intolerable so you challenge him to a bet. You claim you can knock down eleven rifle targets with ten shots.
What he doesn't notice is the clothes line and bag of clothes pins hanging on a roller on the line.
From position one with your rifle knock down the eleven rifle targets. The Texas Star and pipe targets are painted four black and five white. The KD for the roller and the rolling target are painted red. You must begin with either a black or white target. Once you knock down the first target you must knock down all the targets of that color before moving to targets of the other color. At any point after knocking down the first target you may shoot the red KD to release the roller and then shoot the red roller target to release the drop weight. The KD to release the roller and the rolling target are targets. The roller must be hit and the weight dropped to count as a hit. If the weight drops off at the end of it's run without the release being shot it is not a hit.
To shoot this stage clean you will have to knock over one of the pipes with the weight dropped from the roller.
Move to position 2 and with your handguns shoot the KD to release the swinger and then shoot the nine KD targets. Hits on the swinging gong are not penalties.
Use your shotgun to knock down the four KD targets. No reloads.
Only targets knocked down will be counted as hits. These are the five targets on the Texas Star, the four pipes, the roller KD and the roller to release the weight, the KD to release the swinging gong, the nine KD's and the four shotgun targets.

There will be a 5 second penalty for each gopher left standing when you are done shooting. Once you begin shooting a firearm you must continue shooting it until all it�s rounds are fired.
A gopher knocked down in any way is a kill. Hits on gophers that do not knock them down are not kills.
