"Ed Bailey"
from the "Friend & Foes of Doc Holliday" Match

by Piney Woods & Wild Bill Blackerby

Scenario
In 1877, Doc Holliday is dealing cards in Fort Griffin, Texas, when a local bully named Ed Bailey sits down across from him. He's unimpressed with Doc's reputation and begins to irritate him by picking up the discards and looking at them. Doc warns Bailey twice, but he ignores him and continues to look at the discards. Finally Doc rakes in the pot and neither shows his hand nor says a word. Bailey responds by pulling a pistol out from under the table.
Ammo
10 pistol, 10 rifle, 4+ shotgun

Starting Position
Seated at table, two pistols safely staged on table loaded with five rounds each.

Rifle, loaded with ten rounds, safely staged on table.

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

Procedure
When ready, say "Why Ed, does this mean we're not friends anymore?"

At the buzzer, remain seated, turn over a card and engage pistol targets with five rounds, starting and ending on the suit of the card you turned over.

Turn over another card and engage pistol targets with five rounds, again starting and ending on the suit of the card you turned over.

(Pistols should be returned to the table after shooting them.)

(Gunfighters should turn over two cards to begin the pistol sequence. Rounds 1 and 5 must be on the suit of the first card, and rounds 6 and 10 must be on the suit of the second card.)

Stand up and engage rifle targets in a Nevada Sweep, starting at either end.
