"Savin' Gus"

by Wild Bill Blackerby

 

Scenario



Old Driftwood's playin' Poker at the Ugly Dog Saloon with three colorful characters. The cards have been in his favor for most of the night and these guys don't take kindly to losing their poke to a dude.

As they leave the saloon they grab Gus, Driftwood's faithful companion, and head outta town. Driftwood grabs his scattergun and goes off in pursuit catchin' up with them in a box canyon.

"Now you boys hand my dog over and there will be no trouble!" he says, but the three nasty dog nappers start laughing. "If you want this ugly pup come in a shootin'!" is their reply. So he does…


Ammo
10 Pistol, 4+ shotgun

Starting Position
Seated at table with a coffee can containing 15 poker chips (5 red, 5 white, and 5 blue) on the table in front of you.

Two pistols safely staged on table loaded with five rounds each.

Shotgun safely staged on second table, at least four shotshells on your person.

Procedure
Without looking, pick five poker chips from the can and place them down in a row on the table in front of you. After they're placed, you can take a few seconds to look at them, but you can't rearrange them.

When ready, say "No one calls my widdle boy ugly. Draw!"

At the buzzer, while remaining seated, engage the red, white, or blue pistol targets in the order corresponding to the color of the poker chips you've drawn. Repeat.

Stand up and engage shotgun targets twice each - no double-taps.

Note: Pistols, once shot, go back on the table.
