Simple solution here, at
8:30AM: Sound the Air horn. Be sure to sound it at least 5-6 times.
(Don't have one, buy one from Harbor Freight for your car or truck.)
8:45AM: Air Horn again.
8:55AM More Cowbell, I mean Air Horn.
9:00AM: Begin shooting, and know, that you need not fear waking him with gunfire. And that you have met your neighborly obligations.
On an equally serious note, I'm a late riser, so 9AM might be pushing it for me. But when I did live in the country I can say that the ^#($@ rooster was the focus of my anger. Petty noises like guns don't even begin to compare to the annoyance that is the rooster.
