I was still aiming and focusing while the others were firing like there was no tomorrow. I decided to finally shoot, I pulled the trigger and looked at the target, it landed on a seven. I had four more bullets left and I had to use them precisely to win.
Right after firing the first shot I shot again thinking I had aligned the gun back to the same spot as it was when I fired the first shot. I shot and looked at the target, it had landed on a five.
"Shit, I need to be more precise with these."
I thought and began aiming again. This time I was as precise as I could be and hoped for the best, I fired and looked at the target, the bullet had landed on a six.
"Better than before I guess."
I thought and smiled. I didn't hear any shooting from the booths next to me so I had to speed up a bit. Two more bullets left in the gun and I had to get as many points as possible so the second round would be easier. I fired twice hoping I hit the target, both of the bullets landed on a six, totaling the points to thirty meaning I had to get fifteen points from the second round. I was the last to finish shooting.
"Aright! The last person has finished shooting which means, the targets will be changed, and after that you will be granted more bullets for your weapon. The targets will be changed in a bit, so the shooters are allowed to take a break and talk with their partners!"
The announcer yelled and signaled the helpers to change the targets, they just had to press a few buttons for that.

I left the gun on the table and went to the break area to see Arthur, hopefully he isn't drinking. Many others said that they were going to drink but I wasn't certain who was, it also didn't really matter.
I tried to look for Arthur but I didn't see him. I turned around felt a hand land on my shoulder, it was Arthur.
"Did the shooting go well?"
Arthur asked me.
"I think it went well... And where did you come from?"
I answered in confusion. Arthur smiled and sat down on a chair that was next to us.
"I was searching for the toilet, I didn't find it anywhere."
Arthur said. I took a chair and sat next to him.
"if I understood right, there isn't an actual winner in the shooting. You just kind of have to get the points to be qualified for the next competition."
Arthur said. I assumed that was the case before he mentioned this.
"I thought that would be the case, now I don't need to stress about it as much I did in the start."
I said and got up. The heat was getting to us since I saw a man light a cigarette with his finger, no lighter no nothing, just his finger. The next round of shooting was about to begin so I went to the gate.
"Good luck with it."
Arthur said and pulled his hat over his eyes.
"Alright everyone! Get back to your booth and load your gun! We are about to start."
The announcer yelled and opened the gate to the shooting range.
I got to my booth and began the loading the gun with the bullets they left for me. I loaded the gun and put it back on the table to wait for the signal, the targets begun rising from the ground once again, this time they were smaller than before.
"The targets are nearly up, right after the light on top of the booth lights up, you are allowed to start shooting."
The announcer said, bet he was having a sore throat because of all that yelling.
I grabbed the gun and stared at the light waiting for it to light up. The targets were completely up and they began moving, they moved up and down, left and right. The light had finally lighted up so everyone was allowed to start shooting, I saw a bunch of people miss their shots immediately. I was going to go with the same strategy as always, slowly and precisely.
