You may need to calibrate your gun. Press "Calibrate" and fire at the center of the target. For Model 8074, you will need to fire six shots at the target. For Model 73030, you will only need to fire one shot.
Where do I insert the batteries?
Please locate the label on the stock of the gun that says, "Unscrew side panel to open battery door".
Insert 4 new AA batteries. We recommend alkaline.
Is the scope adjustable?
The scope is not adjustable, but the gun can be calibrated so that a hit is scored when the sight is centered on the target.
How do I find the animals?
Just like real hunting, you must look for signs.
You will see pictures of nests, droppings, and hoof prints when you are near an animal.
Once you have gotten to that area, switch to the hunting mode and use the call button or food button on the bottom of the screen and wait for an animal to appear.
The trick is to stay in the navigational mode until you get an icon or hear footsteps before switching to the hunting mode.
The gun will not shoot when the trigger is pulled.
Be sure to cock the gun between shots.
Why can't I move with the safety off during the walking mode?
In regular hunting safety, you should never walk with the safety off. We have incorporated the same feature into this game.
