I used to run a fun match where I would pin up a whole deck of 52 cards face in at 25 yards. Everybody would toss a dollar in the pot and fire 7 shots then go find his target cards and bring them back not showing them. Best 5 cards won. The reason I lost a lot of gamers was a lot of people couldn't hit a playing cared at 25 yards and having only 1 or 2 or 3 cards to show for their effort made us guys with 7 cards the winners 90% of the time. A preacher buddy managed to get 3 9's so he won that one but mostly it was a marksman's game. I quit running that game at the monthly fun matches because the last 2 times only 3 of us shot it.

I should have done it your way.
