Pistol - 10 KD's.

You're on night guard of the herd when a bunch of rustlers make a move on the herd. You open up on them and knock several out of their saddles. The rest make a run for it and you cut them down before they can escape around the bend.
To start the timer say your line "Rustlers!"
From position 1 grab your shotgun and shoot the 2 KD shotgun targets. They will be counted as misses if they don't go down. With your handguns knock down the 10 KD handgun targets. If you happen to knock down all 10 handgun KD's with less than 10 shots you may shoot any rifle targets with the remaining handgun rounds from position 1
Move to position 2. With your rifle shoot the targets off the Texas Star. With any remaining rounds first shoot the KD to release the roller with gong. Then shoot the four KD pipe targets before they are knocked down by the gong. Any KD pipe targets shot down are a 5 second bonus. Any KD pipe targets knocked down by the gong are 5 second penalties.
Only KD targets left standing are counted as misses. No penalty for hitting the gong. A KD pipe target will be counted as a 5 second penalty if it is hit with a bullet after the pipe target is in contact with the gong. The call by the three spotters on this is final.

"Grandpa's Gun Saves the Day"
You and your partner, Three Fingers Tom have hit the mother load. Your last ton of pay dirt contained 230 ounces of gold. At $14.00 an ounce that's $3,220.00. You have another 50 to 80 tons of pay dirt and that's $161,000 to $257,600. You and Three Toes Bob have struck it rich!! Three Toes has gone to town to register your claim, but the word has gotten out and you must hold off the claim jumpers that are sure to come.
At first light, you hear some noise outside your cabin. Taking a peek out the window you see 5 masked men on horseback, and 5 more sneaking toward the front door, 2 more trying to sneak around to your side windows. You know that you are in for it now. Darn that Three Toes, he is always gone when the fun begins.
To start the timer say "Darn You Three Toes". You grab your shotgun and dust off the two claim jumpers trying to sneak up on your side windows. (One shot each, left to right) Next you grab your first pistol and Nevada sweep the 5 claim jumpers close to you, left to right. Just to make sure, you take your second pistol and Nevada sweep them again right to left.
Moving to your rifle, double tap the five claim jumpers on horseback. Right to left.
Off the clock
OH! NO! There is one more claim jumper and you are out of ammo! All you have is your Grandpa's old Muzzle loading rifle. You don't even know if it works. Move to where to the rifle is staged, pull the hammer all the way back and see if you can hit the target in front of you. A 5 second bonus if you hit the target.
The Muzzle loading rifle will be loaded and staged.
