That's the way I play it too.  It'd be the same if a
gunslinger was using a pair of Double Action
revolvers, one Dodge roll for the ENTIRE action card. 
It's possible that some shots would be dodged, and
some still hit.
As a side note, if the shooter is making called shots
in the above example, and the shootee Dodges, if there
happens to be a hit, is it to the called location?
