How about a "claiming" shoot? We all shoot 50 birds, with guns that can be "claimed" by any other shooter for maybe $250 in order for the score shot with that gun to be considered as part of the winning scores. After all the high scoring shooters have their guns claimed for $250, and they refuse to give them up, their scores are disallowed and other lower scores take the win. Maybe some of the high scores will agree to give up their guns for $250, but probably very few. When the remaining ten scores from each team are tabulated, they can keep their guns and their scores. It works in horse racing and car racing, why not shotgun competition? The most interesting part of such an event is the auction for all forfeited shotguns at the end of the shoot. Imagine paying $650 for a gun that you sold for $250 just a few hours earlier.
