There are 3 separate targets. 1 cannot be destroyed and can be shot at infinitely. The other 2 can be destroyed if shot once by an arrow. 5 arrows are fired. What are the odds that both destroy-able targets are destroyed? The destroyed targets cannot be shot at again.

There are 3 separate targets. 1 can be destroyed if shot at 4 times but will end the game in doing so. The other 2 can be destroyed if shot once by an arrow. 5 arrows are fired. What are the odds that both destroy-able targets that are destroyed by one shot are destroyed? The destroyed targets cannot be shot at again. If the game is over, no more arrows can be shot.
