If you have one, use a turret pistol. If not, the clockwork should work.

A turret pistol would be the worst type to use for the shooting range because of the time it takes to reload. With a flintlock, you reload between each target while your still aiming. With a clockwork, you only reload once every 6 shots. The turret pistol forces you to wait while it reloads 6 individual bullets before you can shoot again.

Now that I have the Red Dragon, that is what I use (clockwork with an extra fast reload time). The highest I've gotten so far is 261.

The only thing you should really do is try for head shots only. if you want it before doing crusable the correct shots for the villagers are
Town crier looking guy BELOW HIS HAT <this is a big one
Granny BELOW HAIR
the rest are really just head shots...

the type of pistol you use is nothing big since its going to take you a second to get the head shot lined up. pistols are ideal although ive did it with a crossbow i found on the bandit coast (in a treasure chest when you break down the barricade) torret pistols/rifles will reload the bullet you fired right after you fired it and moving to the next target. the only advantage in guns would be a clockwork/torret incase you miss your first shot you have 4 more behind it with 1 more for the next headshot.

i wouldnt recomend the crossbow...its kinda a last resort (i only had the starting crossbow and just got the 2nd skill upgrade to let me enter) it takes up most of the screen...

i bought a master clockwork pistol, and only aimed for headshots. took a few tries withought paying the barnum investment. either way just practice and practice, either way you can get prizes if you get close and then you can sell em.

It never takes that long for me. Rhythmic pressing of (Y) ensures that the gun fires reasonably fast.

"Not taking that long" is still taking longer then either of the other two types, which is just wasted points that you could be scoring.

There is no pause between shots for the turret pistol that can be shortened with timed button presses, it will shoot as fast as you can hit the button (just like a Clockwork). Of course, since this is the shooting the range, the speed that you can shoot is pointless and only the reload time matters.

That's Flintlock.

Re: Tips On Getting The Red Dragon Pistol.?

a flintlock pistol of any kind should be enough. you will be constantly aiming and zooming so the rate of fire has little to do with it. yes clockwork would be better...but just make sure you use one of those 2 pistol types. Practice until your not really getting more than 1 non-headshot per round. it's all about being able to line up your headshots almost right away and not how many you hit.

hope that helps :)

Re: Tips On Getting The Red Dragon Pistol.?

im having a ton of trouble, i am useing a master flintlock pistol, but i score between 125-169 every time. i cant move from each target to the next fast enough and it is hard to aim for the head really quickly. most rounds i can only score around 45 points. any tips on a faster gun???

Re: Tips On Getting The Red Dragon Pistol.?

Its a lot easier if you did the westcliff investment as it allows you to shoot the bandits aswell

Re: Tips On Getting The Red Dragon Pistol.?
