TheWoWDBVery frustrating quest. If anyone else is doing it at the same time, be ready to have what you're aiming at be sniped left and right. And the aiming is quite poorly implemented and clunky.

Again one of BFA's not well thought out quests. On a low pop server it took me about 9 min to complete this quest. Even though I spammed the key.
If you're having trouble hitting lower targets, like the boats in the water, hold down the End key to change the camera position.
