You're enjoying a quiet evening at the Dirty Shame Saloon when you find a rattle snake head floating in your whiskey! You politely point this out to the bartender but he takes offense and tells you to "Eat Sand"! These are fightin' words and the shooting begins.
Starting at the shooting position start the timer by saying your line: "There's a snake head in my whiskey!"

Stage 3
Too Bad For Tuco
from

Handgun - 10 rounds.
Shotgun - 4+
Targets:
Rifle - Rolling target with drop weight and four pipe targets, Texas Star.
Handgun - 4 targets.
Shotgun - 4 resetting targets.
Rifle staged at position 1, shotgun at position 2.
You and your partner Tuco, who is wanted for about every nasty crime imaginable, have worked out a money making scheme where you turn him in for the reward money and just as he is about to be hung you shoot the rope as Tuco drops and shoot the hats off the assembled crowd to distract them while Tuco escapes.
To start the buzzer say your line "Grab the money and run Tuco"! Grab your rifle and shoot the targets off the Texas Star, knock down the four pipe targets and shoot the KD release and the rolling target. At any point you may shoot the black KD to release the roller and then shoot the black 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.
Stage your rifle and move to position 2.
With your shotgun shoot the four shotgun targets left to right.
With your handguns shoot the 4 targets in a left to right Nevada sweep.
