BIGFORK BUSCADEROS COWBOY ACTION SHOOT Below are detailed descriptions of some of our unique targets and stages Gophers in the Garden One stage is our Gophers in the Garden. I've included the stage instructions along with an image so you can see what it's all about. 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 $20.00. Twenty second penalty for any HIT on the pumpkin. (only one penalty per stage) Avoid your wife�s tomatoes,. Ten second penalty for any tomatoes knocked off the plant. Finally, there is the large Morel mushroom you�ve been saving for that steak you plan to grill Saturday night. Ten point penalty for knocking over the mushroom. Pistols loaded 5 rounds each, hammers on empty chamber, holstered. Rifle loaded with 10 rounds hammer on the empty chamber staged on gun rest. Shotgun open and empty, staged on the rest with six shells to be loaded from your person. 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. 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. If, after all the gophers are dead you have any rounds left shoot at the long range gong. A five second bonus for each hit. All shooting must be done standing from within the rectangle marked on the ground. Irregardless of what class you are competing in you may shoot the handgun using two hands. NOTE: The large gopher is pregnant. There is a smaller gopher inside. To expose the smaller gopher you must knock down the large one first. A Winchester Model 12 with a full choke will be available for those who want to use it. Below are diagrams of other unique targets we use on our stages. Too Bad For Tuco This target is from the movie 'The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly'. In that movie Clint Eastwood turns in Tuco (Eli Wallach) for the reward money. Just as Tuco is to be hung Eastwood shoots the rope and saves Tuco. This target has a hit area 3 in. wide and 24 in. high. A hit on the target drops Tuco and saves him from hanging. Rolling Target This is a rolling target usually shot with a rifle. Shooting the knock down releases the target which rolls down a pipe. Hanging from the pipe is a weight. A hit on the rolling target drops the weight. You get a bonus if you can drop the weight into the box Swinging Target This swinging target is also usually shot with the rifle. Shooting the knock down releases the swinging target. A hit on the swinging target release drop the weight. Bonus for dropping the weight into the basket. We also shoot this with a large pipe that swings back and forth and put nine KD targets behind the swinging pipe. You have to hit the KD's without hitting the swinging pipe. No penalty for hitting the pipe. Texas Star We also have a Texas Star. I have created a webpage where you can actually shoot (virtually) the Texas Star. Use the link below to visit this page.
