I've watched (and love) Top Shot. I saw pro marksmen miss dog-sized targets moving at constant speed across their field of fire while they stood stationary. I saw the same pro marksmen miss dog-sized targets that were stationary while they moved in various ways. In all cases, they had both hands on their weapon and were braced for follow-ups. When in a moving truck (closest example I can think of to what you propose), the hit rate was well below 50% WITH A RIFLE. And in no case that I recall were the shooters moving while the targets also moved randomly and reacted to the noise of gunshots.

Whether you plan to shoot one-handed while steering, or two handed without holding the bike for balance, I have trouble believing you'll succeed. Now I'll grant you that the dogs will be much closer than the above examples. And you always have the option to stop, put a food down, and properly aim, assuming the first shot startles them enough to stop chasing you. But I think you're asking a lot of your skills, however good they might be. Please don't take this as a slight of your shooting. It would be a very difficult task for anyone. It was smart to discuss this with the police beforehand, so you know they won't take your gun. But I'd still buy or borrow something with less recoil to make the task easier.

I will say, without any sarcasm, good luck to you. I really mean that. If you shoot the dogs, please have someone video tape your marksmanship. If you can do what you claim, I bet you'll make the cut of Top Shot next season (if there is a next season).
