to raise money for the 4H shooting club! 
It's our Cowboy Action Shooting club's annual Tin Star Challenge. We shoot our single action revolvers, lever action pistol caliber rifles, and side by side, lever action, or 1897 pump action scatterguns against the law dogs' Glocks, M16s, and tactical shotguns. Our club, the Powder River Justice Committee, birthed the idea 8 or 9 years ago (I disremember which...it was before the wife and I joined) as a way to get some funds for the local 4H shooting club for ammo, guns, etc. Since then, quite a few cowboy clubs around the country have utilized the concept as a fundraiser for various deserving charities.
In our case, the 4Hers set up a pavilion with breakfast and lunch and shag brass for us. Their club keep all the money they make on drinks and food, as well as all the entry fees paid by cowboy and lawmen alike. We also pass around a tip jar for the brass scroungers and they can keep the money for themselves or give it to their club.
As an added attraction, the local "plate shooters" (folks who get together to shoot a monthly falling plate match) are fielding a team, and they bring some cool popguns, including M1As, Garands, some sweet 1911s, double action revolvers, etc.
If the weather holds, it'll be fun on a bun!
