Shooters in episode seven were strapped to a wheel and rotated into a randomly chosen position (nine o'clock, six o'clock, etc.) and were then given one shot at a target downrange. In episode 10, contestants experienced continuous vertical circular motion, getting one full rotation to hit as many of 20 stationary targets as possible.

9. Season five showed the honoring of traditions and the performance of rituals. What did the remaining shooters do to commemorate the elimination of a fellow contestant?
