==History==
The challenge debuted in as a tribal Reward Challenge. Three members of each tribe competed, using one weapon each. The tribe to win two out of three rounds would win the challenge. Sean Kenniff beat Jenna Lewis using a blowdart gun to knock fruit off a wall (with the heaviest amount of fruit dislodged scoring a point) in the first round, scoring a point for Tagi. Subsequently, using a slingshot to knock down fruit, Gretchen Cordy outdid Richard Hatch to score for Pagong. In the last round, throwing spears at a target, Susan Hawk fell inches short of Joel Klug's mark. This resulted in Pagong winning the challenge 2-1, and receiving the fresh fruit knocked down during the challenge, as well as three chickens.
In , the challenge was used for individual reward. The challenge consisted of three rounds. The four closest shots using a blowdart moved onto throwing spears. The two best shots then took aim with a bow and arrow. Alex Bell defeated Matthew von Ertfelda in the final round to win the challenge and an afternoon at a coffee bar.
