Your score is your time plus penalties for misses and such. Low score wins. An effort to dress in “old west” style clothing is appreciated but NOT required. We will be following Standard CAS safety and scoring rules as best we can.

Set up around 5pm and start shooting around 6pm.
We will shoot 1 stage then repeat or do something else fun as time and daylight allows.
The atmosphere of these will be decided by the participants.
We will use a timer if you want but everyone will keep track of their own score.
