The episode begins with the couple discussing how they need to find something new to do together. Lois suggests they try shooting, which Peter initially scoffs at before admitting he's always wanted to try it. They head to a shooting range, where Peter quickly becomes obsessed with his new hobby.
Meanwhile, Stewie and Brian decide to start a band together. They struggle to come up with a name and a sound, but eventually settle on the name "Red Shirt, Blue Shirt" and a sound that is intentionally terrible. However, their sound catches the attention of a talent agent, who books them for a gig at a local bar.
Back at the shooting range, Peter's obsession with shooting reaches dangerous levels. His competitive nature gets the best of him, and he begins to sabotage the other shooters so he can win. Lois tries to intervene, but Peter won't listen to her.

Back at the shooting range, Peter's behavior becomes more and more erratic. He starts to see everything as a target, including a innocent man walking his dog. Lois realizes that she needs to take drastic action to get Peter to snap out of it, so she dresses up in an inflatable sumo suit and challenges him to a shooting contest.
The contest is a close one, and it seems like Peter might finally come to his senses. However, in a moment of madness, he shoots Lois in the sumo suit, causing her to bounce away like a giant, inflatable ball. Peter is horrified at what he's done, and Lois reprimands him for his dangerous behavior.
The episode ends with Stewie and Brian attempting to reinvent their band, this time incorporating more traditional instruments and better lyrics. They perform their new song at a shopping mall, and to their surprise, the crowd loves it.
