At the heart of the park where there were the most people, Dakota was immediately attracted by a balloons-shooting booth. "Look, Cameron! That's a huge stuffed bear!"
"Would you like it?" Cameron asked, staring at her excited face.
"Yes!" Dakota nodded her head.
"Hello, would you like to give it a go?" the booth owner greeted, sensing potential customers.
"Hi, what are the rules?" Cameron asked.
"Sir, ten dollars for ten shots. If you hit the target nine times, you get a first grade prize," the booth owner answered.
"What if I hit them all?"
"Then, you get an extra prize!" A cunning smile spread across the owner's face as he didn't think that anyone could hit the bullseye ten times in a row.
The toy gun had been specially adjusted. Even for a discharged special forces military personnel, the most they could hit was seven targets. However, every young man thought of themselves as gifted and wanted to show off in front of their girlfriends.
That was why the three couples at the side hadn't even won anything even though the boyfriends had spent about a thousand dollars. Every round, they could only get four or five accurate shots.
"Alright. I'll pay for ten shots, then." Grinning, Cameron took out a ten dollar bill and gave it to the booth owner.
"Sure!" After accepting the payment, the booth owner immediately passed him a rifle loaded with plastic pallets.
Cameron picked up the rifle and felt the weight of it in his hand. Then, he aimed at a balloon and pulled the trigger.
Pop!
The balloon burst; he had hit it right in the middle.
"Not bad, young man," the booth owner praised, a little surprised.
Nevertheless, he simply thought that Cameron was lucky. After all, countless people could get a hit on the first shot.
Aiming for another balloon, Cameron fired the second shot, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth shot; all without stopping.
Pop, pop, pop!
All five shots were accurate, and the booth owner's heart skipped a beat.
Dakota jumped in excitement. "You're amazing, Cameron!"
The people around were intrigued by the scene and stopped in their tracks to watch, gushing, "This guy has skills!"
"Yeah, and he's gotten all five shots in a row!"
"Wow, that's impressive!"
The couples who were playing the same game put down the rifles in their hands for a moment and turned to Cameron, who pulled the trigger again at this time.
Pop!
Just as before, the pallet hit the balloon.
