You have to shoot in really short bursts...
And it's easy to do too... |

Is there an age limit these days? Never was when I was young. No telling how many hundreds of dollars I've spent on that game. I never did care about winning. Just shooting a full-auto BB gun was a prize in and of itself.
TS Edited because I forgot to make the first sentence a question. |

You got taken by the carnies and the carnie code. No shame in being beaten by the best.

Those stupid games are rigged. When you are on the verge of shooting out the star the dick behind the counter hits the compressor cutoff so the gun won't shoot right.

You should've asked the carny for advice. Carnies are there to help - just like some people on this board. |

Short controlled burst on the red star. You can beat the game no problem. It does make a person mad as hell!![pissed]
But here is the most important thing, did you and your family have a good time? If so then it is worth every dime you spent. [:D] |

You need to shoot the star out by making a circle around the star (from point to point)

Yep, every time I get on the rides with the kids I look at and see who put them together, and that is the scariest part of the ride.

Me thinks that the last 20 or so bb's are coated in red dye. Thereby leaving a "little" red on the target.
I too have spent oodles of money thinking I could beat the game. Never did. |

From what I can remember from way back when, the BB's were partially split which may be for safety so when they hit the backstop, they don't ricochet or maybe it's to make them fly erratically. Anyway, I prefer a 12ga, it gets the star every time.

Couldn't you just point the BB gun at the carny and say "Gimmy the bike and no one gets hurt."?

I don't think they use BB's. More like #12 shot.
The projectiles are much smaller than BB's, hence they only take out a very small peice of paper. |

Dang I was just about to post about this. I almost did this last weekend. Almost got it a couple of times. Seems that the trick is to shoot around the star as appossed to shoot it out. But either way the most fun is just shooting a full auto bb gun.And I haven`t played shoot out the star in about 10+ years!

I tried one of those games once.
It was the one where you climb up the rope ladder that is mounted on a couple swivels to allow it to turn 360 degrees. I watched the carnie walk up the ladder and ring the bell like it was no problem. I watched the people try it and fall, and I noticed their techniques. I thought I had it figured out and the prizes were BIG stuffed animals. Pretty expensive. So I slowly make my way up the ladder. I almost lost it a couple times, but I had one or two rungs left and I fell. Later on my girlfriend told me that when it looked like I was about to win, the carnie climbed up the other ladder and then jumped onto the air matress below. Since my ladder was resting on the air matress, when he hit the matress, it shook my ladder like a motherfucker and I took the spill. Asshole! Oh well...that's how those carnival people make their money to pay for those fancy prizes I guess. -Nick Viejo. |
