Goofs
When the store clerk is teaching Kioga how to shoot the rifle, he tells Kioga to fire it from the shoulder due to the recoil. The actor is holding a Model 1892 Winchester, which was a replacement for the Model 1873 that would have been used at the time of Gunsmoke. However, both models fired pistol cartridges that had very little felt recoil when fired from a rifle, and these rifles can easily be fired from the hip or otherwise off the shoulder.

Possibly the least entertaining episode ever.

Others have given good reviews of this episode so all I want to add is a few comments.

I did not like this episode at all To me it was the worst episode of Gunsmoke I've ever seen. Watching a young Indian not speak as the whole episode centered on him does not make an enjoyable experience. And Matt kept going out of his way to not do anything to him for trying to kill someone over and over. Absurd episode.
