The final day of Trailhead features three different side matches.  The fun starts at 9:00 am. Master Gunfighter  This “mano y mano” match pits two shooters against each other to see who can shoot five drop down targets in the fastest time.  Shooters pair up and compete, winner moves on. Couples Shoot This is a fun husband-and-wife match where couples work together on a stage that uses several buildings at Gunsmoke.  Teamwork is key, as sometimes they might have to do humorous things such as hold hands when moving between buildings. Team Shoot Competitors are randomly drawn into groups of four and compete against the other groups.
