How To Win Target Shooting Fairground Stalls
Sharp shooter games at the funfair are exciting; you look very cool pretending you’re Billy the Kid! But you can’t pull off the Wild West Cowboy character fully if you don’t win and take home a prize! Target shooting funfair games and stalls are notoriously difficult and that’s what makes them all the more addictive, there’s a bigger sense of achievement when you hit the target when compared with defeating the coconut shy or the Tin Can Alley. This is why the funfair experts at We Are Tricycle are here to offer you a bit of help so you can be ready to impress your friends and family the next time you're at a funfair target shooting stall!
Step one - Grip
It’s all about a steady aim and your grip is the key to keeping still. Rest the underside of the shooter (just in front of the trigger) on the palm of your non-firing hand and lightly grip around it with your thumb and index finger. Rest the butt of the shooter against your shoulder.
Step Two - Light touch
Don’t grip too hard, this creates tension and makes the barrel of the rifle move more! Think about being as light as you’d be with an egg. It might sound strange but these strange techniques are what will help you to win the game.
Step Three - Take Aim
All toy guns have sights, take a look straight up the barrel, closing one eye, and you'll see a small metal nodule which is the sight. Place that sight just under the target you want to hit.
Step 4 - Breath In
Holding your breath just before firing decreases the chance of barrel movement as it keeps your whole body still.
Step 5 - Pull that trigger!
Pull the trigger with confidence, cleanly. Then pause and repeat the whole process again, you might only get 10 shots so make them all count. Too many people get frustrated or trigger happy and waste their chance to take home the giant cuddly toy, so make sure you keep a cool head.
