Andy and Karen compete against each other in a skeet-shooting contest that Karen wins. Gail Davis, the actress who plays "Karen Moore," previously starred as "Annie Oakley," a renowned American Old-West expert with a gun, in Annie Oakley (1954).
Most of the wooded scenes in the series were shot at the Upper Franklin Reservoir in Franklin Canyon Park, easily accessible for the Desilu production company. However, the rock formations behind Andy and Karen in the crow shooting scene suggest they shot that scene further north, at the Sage Ranch Park or Iverson Movie Ranch in the Simi Valley hill country.
In playing Thelma Lou's cousin from Arkansas, Gail Davis provides an authentic Arkansas accent. She grew up in Little Rock.
According to the "Town of Mayberry" Facebook Group, this is the last episode that has a map of North Carolina on the wall behind Andy's desk. The first appearance of the map of North Carolina was in "Opie and the Bully." The North Carolina map was replaced by a map of Mayberry in "The Clubmen." The map of Mayberry on the wall behind Andy's desk would remain there for the rest of the series.
