High Noon Saloon Sequel

The Wild Bill Hickok Stage in The High Noon Saloon proved to be very popular at Monday Match #1.  We thought it would be interesting to see what happened to The High Noon Saloon generations after Wild Bill and The Wild West were long gone.

This is going to be a very challenging stage because of the use of hard cover for all 11 targets.  In addition, there will be the IDPA legal number of hostages--4.  IDPA allows the use of one non-threat target for every three primary targets.  Thus, with 11 targets we are allowed four non-threats.  (See Rule 6.13)

The non-threat targets will take up quite a bit of the open space of each of the threat targets that are not already hard cover.  Thus, the shooter will have a very small actual sight picture area for most of the targets.  The first four targets are wearing body armor so head shots only will be scored.  We will NOT be using wigs to obscure the heads on any targets in this stage.  Also note that we will NOT be giving an FTN on T1 through T10 of this stage.  A miss on a head shot on T1-T4 will be score as five points down without the five second FTN added.

T11 will be eligible for an FTN.  Remember that.

Since The Wild Bill Hickok Incident, The High Noon Saloon has been expanded many times.  T11 is coming through your bat wing doors with an AR in hands.  Hence, T11 must be engaged at 20 yards and must be neutralized.  T11 is key to this stage's success.

Although technically this is an 18 round stage, it would behoove shooters to expend more than 18 rounds due to the difficult and challenging nature of each target site picture.
