Is there a potshot playlist anywhere?

Not sure if this link will work, but http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/playlists/playlist/eRDpx00e7kq9QuvP_Asc1g

My guide to Potshot is to make sure your active personal vehicle is a motorbike, buy sniper rifle ammo and some for something automatic (I use the assault SMG).

- Ride the bike up the ridge to the left of where you start. Follow the path and when you get over the second jump get to a spot so you can shoot basically anywhere near the vehicles in the middle (I usually snipe the guys standing in front of the cars in the middle).
- The driver will run to the van, but he doesn't always start driving. You can shoot the van through the hole in the roof of the garage, or the gas canister to the right of the garage, and he should start driving.
- Ride the bike back to the starting point and get ready for the van to appear, then shoot him out of the van - this can be tricky, but after the first few times you'll probably have it down. If you don't manage to kill him before he gets past you, just hop on the bike and kill him that way - you can headshot him through the open doors in the back.
- Take van, drive to Trevor's.

I've never failed with this method, so.

There's a much simpler way to potshot that I've never failed with either that only involves three shots, sometimes two.
-Have a decent sized person vehicle that is fast on dirt and easy to control
-Go up the dirt road towards the farm
-Hit one of the guys guarding the bridge, and if they're in a line you can get them both if lucky.
-Stop before you get to the bridge. Do not set wheel nor foot on the bridge. This stops every other enemy from spawning.
-Once the two guards are dead, you wait for the driver to come across the bridge
-Your vehicle should block him long enough to get a clean shot, and then you leave and go see Trevor.

@ProjectWHaT this is why it was acting up.
 
I've got a potshot playlist up and running now. Sending out invites to the crew after every round. The cut off for this round is XX:40 pm depending on what timezone you're in

@GTPorsche, PSN Realtexan and me just had the weirdest glitch on Potshot. When we took the van back to Trevor, we found another van in the trailer and couldn't get that van inside. It eventually blew up and we lost the mission. Oh and GTPorsche ran my Audi over. RIP Audi

Does anyone have a rough $/hr rate created for potshot yet?

It's taking us 3 minutes per run and we get 10,500 per run, plus about 30 seconds of lobby/loading time between the runs when in a playlist.

60/3.5 is ~17 runs an hour if you speed run consistently or 15 if you screw up like we do.

So about 157,500 an hour at 15 runs an hour

The running over the Audi was completely accidental.

I liked my landing at Trevor's trailer that one time. #nailedit
 
I can't wait until I can join the PS3 crew! I have to fix my account first. I forgot the password and the birthday. I set it up to get a birthday car in GT5.
