Lose yourself in the Old West with this revolutionary new game system
Wouldn't it be great to actually place the crosshairs on your target instead of simply rolling a d20? With the new Shot Clock game aid you can do just that. This quick and innovative system allows you to choose where to fire and instantly know where that bullet went. Did your shot hit its mark, or did you merely knock your target's hat off his head?
