As all of the target numbers are odd, we will need to take an even number of shots to get an even sum, in this case 80 80 . Since 6 6 is the only even-valued option, it just remains to show that we can get a sum of 80 80 with 6 6 shots. As this can be done with 1 shot of 23 23 , 1 of 13 13 and 4 of 11 11 , we can conclude that 6 \boxed{6} is the desired answer.

Note that we could also achieve 80 80 with 4 4 shots, which can be done in 2 ways: (i) 3 of 23 23 and 1 of 11 11 , and (ii) 2 of 23 23 , 1 of 21 21 and 1 of 13 13 .

All targets have an odd integer so if the total score is 80 that mean the number of shots is even which is 6
