    • Shooting
      • In this game your shot arcs due to gravity.
        • If you have a direct shot try to shoot hard to minimize the impacts of gravity and aim slightly high to offset the impacts of gravity.
      • If you do not have a direct shot you may need to arc the arrow over an obstacle.
      • When shooting you do not need to start your finger near to the bow & arrow, but can instead select anywhere on the screen to charge up your shot from, giving you greater flexibility with aiming and shot strength.
    • Levels
      • This game has 21 levels.
      • Each cowboy has a green status bar above its head.
        • You beat levels by freeing all the cowboys before the status bars go to zero & before you run out of arrows.
        • Whenever one of your shots is low and hits a cowboy it takes some of the time away from their status bar.
      • If you run out of arrows or time you can replay the current level again.
