Here is my summary of this game/quest:
- Don't move
- Aim/turn using the mouse
- Shoot using the 1 key
- The target is visible long enough to shoot twice ( 2 hits per mark )
- If you hit the target within a second of the mark showing up you get [spell=101012] which rewards 2 hits for the first shot ( 3 hits per mark )
The trick to completing this quest in a single game is to as often as possible get a Quick Shot against the target and then get a second shot on the same target.The way I get Quick Shots is to look at the center target. When the Darkmoon Mark appears hit 1 and then turn to look at the target. If this is timed right you will hit the target and receive a Quick Shot message on your screen. If done correctly you can get credit for 3 hits per mark that appears.
Edit: This may be more difficult if you are fighting bad lag. Also check out the comments for the achievement Quick Shot to see some other hints about how to get quick shots

For [race=6]s:
If you having trouble aiming (because of the slab of beef between you and the gun), use a transformation item like [item=35275], [item=71259], OR Orb of Deception.
Also: Seriously! Be aware of your girth... don't park your Kodo near this booth.
One Ticket Tactics - Ready, Fire, Aim
All of the Darkmoon Faire daily games can be completed on a single ticket. Different games require more skill or luck to achieve this one ticket goal.
In "He Shoots, He Scores", the key techniques are:
- Line up in front of the middle target if at all possible.
- Once the game is started, hold the right mouse button down constantly so you're only turning your gun. Don't move your feet. Use the "1" key to fire.
- Always return your aim to the middle target between rounds.
- The instant the mark appears above any target, hit the "1" key to fire. There's a delay before the gun actually discharges, that's when you need to swing (aim) to one side or the other to hit the designated target. If you aim before firing, there's almost no chance that you'll get the needed Quick Shot bonuses.
- Quick Shots need to be hit at least 50% of the time to finish this game in one ticket. Quick Shot awards 2 points per hit vs. the normal 1 pt
- Keep tapping the "1" key until you've shot 3 times at a target. New with 5.0.4 - If you get a Quick Shot by shooting fast enough, you can actually get 3 hits on a target for a total of 4 pts per round (2 for the quickshot, one each for shots 2&3). There are 10 "rounds" per ticket
If you have bad latency issues with your server, this game is nearly impossible to complete. If you have a quick server, winning this game on one ticket is almost purely a matter of skill.
