Just remember a couple of things:

1. Heads move. Paper targets don't. Shooting at a group of helium balloons tied to strings that obscure each other, and having to shoot the one that is called by another person against the timer is probably more of a test. Don't pop the wrong balloon. Do this outdoors with a slight breeze, and you'll see what I mean.

2. Negotiating/talking with a hostage taker is not something we all do for a living. This may be as important as knowing how to shoot, as it's one of the only things that will buy you time and opportunity. Not all bad guys will be remotely rational, or even understand what you're saying.

3. Anything except a hit to the medulla may result in the bad guy's weapon discharging.

4. You're not in an action movie. This is probably going to turn out badly for the hostage, unless God is smiling on you.
