Key points: Mad Pig lever gun

  • Ten shooters share one custom Mad Pig lever gun, with Simon secretly loading a mix of 125-grain .357 Magnum and .38 Special in the 158-grain range.
  • Hit factor is points divided by time: the worked example of six alphas on a 2-second Bill Drill scores 30 points for a hit factor of 15.
  • Alphas score five, Charlies three and Mikes zero, and penalties for misses and no-shoot hits are heavy enough that one stray round can zero a run.
  • In the first round at 25 yards, with a 10-second par that disqualifies slow runs, Scott Lookabaugh is the only shooter to score above zero.
  • Moving to 15 yards with an 8-second par brings real scores, led by a 4.0636 from four alphas and a Charlie.
  • In the Simon versus Caden bonus round, each loads for the other, and five Charlies in 4.37 seconds earn a 3.4325 against a zero.

Mad Pig lever gun shootout from SilencerCo at High Bar Homestead: ten shooters run one custom lever gun for hit factor, with .357 Magnum and .38 Special mixed in the magazine so nobody knows which round comes next. Misses and no-shoot hits wipe out nearly every score at 25 yards, so the crew moves to 15 yards and shortens the par time. A bonus round has Simon and Caden loading for each other. It is played for laughs, but the scoring shows how quickly penalties erase speed.
