Sgt. Eli:
Stuck for a scenario idea, help yourself...Got a good scenario to share, share it.

BATH TIME FOR BULL :o
     As you soak in a tub of tepid water at Stinkwater Springs, an odor fouls the air. BULL SKINNER! He has been out for months skinnin' buffs and now he's standing in the doorway wantin' a bath. Last time Bull was here they had to burn the tub. Run him out.

3 RIFLE TARGETS3 PISTOL TARGETS4 SHOTGUN KNOCKDOWNSHAY BALE  TUB  HAY BALEThe picture of the tub is being used in a different scenario (only pic I could find) where we exited the tub for shotgun and the number of targets is also different, but you get the idea.
GUNS AND AMMUNITION:
2 PISTOLS~10 Rounds, 5 rounds in each pistol. Hammers down on empty chambers. Re-holster as required by category.
1 RIFLE~10 Rounds. Hammer down on empty chamber. Make safe at end of shooting string.
1 Shotgun~4+ Rounds on person. Load from body, no staged rounds. Open and Empty. Make safe at end of shooting string.

STARTING POSITION
Shooter starts in the tub holding the scrub brush in one hand, and the soap in the other hand. Pistols holstered, the rifle and the open empty shotgun safely staged on hay bales beside tub. Shooter may engage this stage using any firearm order they choose, But they must end with either a pistol or the shotgun.

1. The shoot signals the RO they are ready by saying whatever it takes to get Bull out of the bathhouse. The RO will then give a standby followed by the beep.
2. At the beep the shooter places the soap and brush on the shelf.
3. Pistol in this order, 1-2-3-2-1 or 3-2-1-2-3.
4. Pistol in this order, 1-2-3-2-1 or 3-2-1-2-3.
5. Rifle in this order, 1-2-2-3-2-2-1-2-2-3 or 3-2-2-1-2-2-3-2-2-1.
6. Shotgun, 4 knockdowns in any order.
 

River City John:
           "THE LEGEND OF 'YODELING EUSTIS' AND HIS FRONTIER JUSTICE "

     "There is a story told along the cattle trails of a cowboy whose honesty, steadfastness and skill when riding herd made him the darling of every Trail Boss. A cattle drive was guaranteed profitable if they could hire on this drover. There were fewer beef lost along the journey, higher prices than anticipated offered at trail's end, . . .why even Cookie's grub seemed to improve!
He was known as 'Yodeling Eustis'. He claimed the secret of his success, and hence his moniker, was that his yodeling held a powerful spell over man and beast.

     Now our story takes place at the lazy end of summer two years after the locusts, but several years before the great blizzard. It was the year of that devil twister, if you'll remember.
 We find our Hero enjoying some well-earned entertainments at the railhead town after the end of another cattle drive. And these entertainments included whisky, a fine cigar, and a turn at the gaming tables. But unbeknownst to our Friend he had fallen into a crooked game run by an impecunious, vile, most foul. . . .Well!, if you knew half of what I've heard, the less said the better.
     This rake and his cronies thought they had stumbled on easy pickings, and grew smug and discourteous because they believed they would easily cheat our Innocent out of his entire poke.
     But our Pride 'n' Joy was no one's fool, and soon after discovering their deceit he rose to his feet to call their bet. He drew iron and looked them square in the eye.

     And then he began to yodel."


( No shotgun.)
 
Set up the stage with the targets at different ranges, enough to offer increasing degrees of difficulty, from easy to "you gotta be kiddin'!" Assign an increasing point value as they go up in difficulty.
Then play the stage as if it was a hand of poker. NO TIMER USED. Each shooter plays against the other members of their posse. THERE ARE NO MISSES, and each target must be hit ONCE in ascending order. Once a shooter misses, or shoots a target out of order, they're out of the game for that stage. Draw cards to determine the first shooter. Each shooter builds their point score starting with the first target. When they reach a point level where they're comfortable it's going to be hard to best, they can stand pat and let the next shooter have their turn. If a subsequent shooter raises the best score, those who have not been eliminated can try to beat that new score by starting on the next target from the one where they had left off. 

There could be a lot of flexibility when setting target arrangement and to assign which firearm to be used when engaging groups of targets.
Here's the 'wild card'. All shooters must yodel while engaging their targets.

And the scoring?
It's winner takes all, so the winner has their final point score REMOVED from their overall match time as a bonus. All other posse members have the winning score ADDED to their overall time.
So there is a real incentive to not miss.

Arcey:
Used this one last summer. No movement because of the heat. It went over real well with the shooters. Some of the target sets didn't translate from Word.

Along came Jones

Lead in to scenarios at the end of the shooters’ meeting.  I’ll do it since I know how I want it to set the scene:

Yanno, back when we was kids we’d go to movie shows.  It was air conditioned there, weren’t at home.

They’d run old news reels, cartoons ‘n such leadin’ inta the feature film, Godzilla vs. sumthin’ or sumbody.  Sometimes they’d run old, really old, silent Western serials.  They were always the same.  Some evil hombre was tryin’ ta get the deed ta the ranch from a poor ole widow.  They were always cut off at a critical point leadin’ ya to wonder who would ride ta the rescue. Called ‘em ‘cliff hangers’.

Today, we’re gonna be in them serials.  We’re gonna be the hero.  So, let’s all join in when the posse leaders read out the scenarios.  Get in the mood ‘n inta the flow of the show.

So, lights, camera, COWBOY ACTION! Along came Jones! Brought ta you by the Pungo Posse!

And the posse sez YEEEE HAWW!!!!!
 
Stage 1 – Left stage set

Our waxed mustached villain can’t con the bank outtah the widow McGilicuty’s ranch.  So he takes a more direct route ‘n rides on over.  He spies the water supply as he goes thru the gates, right there next ta the cabin.  He breaks in ‘n says ‘If you don’t give me the deed ta yer ranch I’m gonna throw ya down the well!’

And then he grabs her.  Posse yells out – And then?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! 

He picks her up ‘n heads ta the well!  Posse yells out – And then?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
