Interactive Toy Concepts Skeet Shooter - Manual (Page 2)

All three Skeets have built-in, non-removable, non-replaceable, rechargeable capacitors. Do not attempt to open the Skeets to modify or tamper with
the capacitors. The Skeet Blaster uses 3 “AAA” batteries (not included). The Skeet Launcher uses 4 “C-size” alkaline batteries (not included). The
charger is built into the Skeet Launcher. Use only the supplied charger provided in this SKEET SHOOTER package to charge the Skeets.
Skeet Shooter Blaster Battery Installation:
1. Open the battery compartment door located
at the upper rear of the Skeet Blaster by
using a Philips screwdriver (not included).
2. Insert the
3 AAA batteries
(not included)
as shown.
Ensure that the + and – polarities match the
illustrations inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment door and
tighten the screw using the screwdriver. Do
not over tighten.
The 3 Skeets require 10 seconds of continuious charging. Charging the Skeets is a simple process as outlined in the following steps.
Arming your Skeet Blaster:
1. To fire your Skeet Blaster, make sure the ON/OFF switch on the
Skeet Blaster is in the on position.
2. Every time the Skeet Blaster is fired, it needs to be reloaded by
sliding the reload handle backwards and forward. A reload
double-click will be heard. At the beginning of your game, make
sure to reload your Skeet Blaster.
Shooting down Skeets with your Infrared Skeet Blaster:
Once you have adjusted the Skeet launch speed and angle to
your desired settings, charged up your 3 Skeets and turned on
your Skeet Blaster, you are ready to shoot some Skeets! The
Skeet Launcher’s launch mechanism can be activated either
directly by pressing a button on the Skeet Launcher, or remotely,
by sending an infrared beam from your Skeet Blaster.
1. Ensure that your Skeet Launcher is turned on and the fully
charged Skeets are in their launch slots.
2-A. To activate your Skeet Launcher’s launch mechanism
directly, just press the play button on the Skeet Launcher as
shown. You will have about 5 seconds to walk back to your
shooting position.
2-B. To activate your Skeet Launcher’s launch mechanism
remotely, just aim your Skeet Blaster directly at the Skeet
Launcher and press the trigger. (Note, if nothing happens, make
sure your Skeet Blaster is reloaded.)
3. Once the Skeet Launcher’s launch mechanism has been
activated, make sure to stand clear of the Skeet Launcher as it
will start launching Skeets momentarily.
4. Reload your Skeet Blaster by sliding the reload handle forward
and backward once.
5. Prior to the first launch, the Skeet Launcher’s speaker will say,
“Ready, aim, pull!”
6. The first Skeet will launch.The Skeet will be launched into the
air up to about 6.5 feet (2 meters). (Please note, the first Skeet
will be launched from a random launch slot)
7. Shoot down the first Skeet with your safe infrared beam Skeet
Blaster. You can fire a narrow infrared beam at the Skeet by
pressing the trigger button on the Skeet Blaster. A firing sound
is heard. To get best aiming results, align the single targeting
sight notch located at the upper front of the Skeet Blaster with
the double targeting sight notches located at the upper rear of
the Skeet Blaster. When viewing with one eye from the top rear
down the barrel of the Skeet Blaster, the front targeting sight
should be in between the 2 rear targeting sights, and the target
should appear directly in front of the aligned targeting sights. If
you miss, quickly reload and fire again. It is fair game to take
multiple shots at each Skeet as long as it has not hit the ground
yet. It is necessary to reload your Skeet Blaster after each shot.
8. The Skeet Launcher will say “Pull” before every subsequent
Skeet launch.
9. Once all 3 Skeets are launched, the Skeet Launcher will remain
turned on but the launch mechanism will stop working. Did you
shoot down all 3 Skeets before they hit the ground? If so, how
many shots did it take? If you were able to shoot down all 3
Skeets with only 3 shots, you have a perfect score!
10-A. To play again, it is not necessary to turn off or reset the
Skeet Launcher. Simply reload the Skeet Launcher, reassemble
the 3 Skeets and insert them into the Launcher as described in
the “Charging the Skeets” section. Then follow steps 1 through
10 in the “Shooting down Skeets with your Infrared Skeet
Blaster” section.
10-B. If you are finished playing, turn off the Skeet Launcher by
pressing the ON/OFF switch as shown. Also, make sure to turn
off your Skeet Blaster by moving the ON/OFF switch to the off
position. If you will be storing your SKEET SHOOTER toy for a
longer period of time, remove the batteries from the Skeet
Launcher and the Skeet Blaster. This will prolong the
operational life of the toy and the batteries. It is a good idea to
store the 3 Skeets, Skeet Blaster and the Skeet Launcher
together so no components become misplaced.
Adjusting Skeet Launch Speed:
The speed of the launch can be adjusted from 3 Skeets launched
within a span of 15 seconds to 3 Skeets launched within a span of 30
seconds.
1. Ensure that the Skeet Launcher is not in the process of launching
the Skeets. The Skeet Launcher’s ON/OFF switch can be in the on
or off position during Skeet launch speed adjustment.
Adjusting Skeet Launch Angle:
The angle of launch for the Skeets can be adjusted before and
between plays. All 3 Skeets will be launched in the same angle and
direction as preset. By default, the Skeets launch vertically with no
launch angle adjustment.
1. Ensure that the Skeet Launcher is not in the process of launching
the Skeets. The Skeet Launcher’s ON/OFF switch can be in the ON
or OFF position during Skeet launch angle adjustment.
DO NOT USE ANY OTHER SOURCE TO CHARGE THE SKEETS OTHER THAN THE SKEET LAUNCHER .
Skeet Shooter Launcher Battery Installation:
1. Ensure that the Skeet Launcher is turned off.
2. Open the battery compartment door located
at the bottom of the Skeet Launcher by using
a Philips screwdriver (not included).
3. Insert the 4 C-size batteries (not included)
as shown. Ensure that the + and –
polarities match the illustrations inside the
battery compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment door and
tighten the screw using the screwdriver. Do
not over tighten.
CHARGING THE SKEETS
PLAYING WITH YOUR SKEET SHOOTER-(continued)
You can start playing SKEET SHOOTER as soon as the Skeets are finished charging. The objective of the SKEET SHOOTER game is to shoot the
individual Skeets once they are launched from the Skeet Launcher and before the Skeets hit the ground. When a Skeet is hit by the harmless infrared
beam of your Skeet Blaster, the Skeet will break apart just as a real clay Skeet would.
The SKEET SHOOTER can be played as a 1 player or 2 player (or more) game. In 1 player mode, the player tries to shoot down as many of the 3
Skeets as possible. In 2 or more player mode, all players take turns in attempting to shoot down as many of the 3 Skeets as possible. Only 3 Skeets
can be launched per turn. If this results in a tie, the best players should have another round of turns until only the best player remains. The winner
shoots down the most Skeets in the final turn. Another way to find out who is the better shooter is to count how many shots it takes to shoot down all
3 Skeets. Obviously, the shooter who can shoot down all 3 Skeets with only 3 shots is a master Skeet Shooter!
To make the game more challenging, it is possible to adjust the launch speed of the Skeets and the launch angle. Increasing the launch speed will
decrease the amount of time between Skeet launches but it will not affect the launch height. If you would like to change or adjust the Skeet launch
speed or Skeet launch angle, you must do so before launching the Skeets.
Sometimes the Skeet will also break apart when it hits the ground. The Skeet’s red LED flashes after the Skeet is shot by
the Infrared Beam. It is the accurate way to judge whether the Skeet is hit by your shot.

To start playing again, Power Saving Mode can be deactivated using one of the following three steps:
a. Press the Play button on the Skeet Launcher once to wake it up. Press the Play Button a
second time to activate the Skeet Launcher’s launch mechanism and the Skeets will be launched in
accordance with the normal playing procedure.
b. Reload your Skeet Blaster, aim the blaster directly at the Skeet Launcher and press the trigger.
The first shot will wake up the Skeet Launcher. Reload and press the trigger again. The second
shot will activate the Skeet Launcher’s launch mechanism and the Skeets will be launched in
accordance with the normal playing procedure.
c. Press the ON / OFF switch on the Skeet Launcher once to turn the Skeet Launcher OFF. Press the
ON / OFF switch a second time to turn the Skeet Launcher on again. This will reset the Skeet
Launcher. You can use the Play Button or the Skeet Blaster to activate the Skeet Launcher in
accordance with the normal playing procedure.
Power Saving Mode:
Choosing your playing location:
You can operate your SKEET SHOOTER toy indoors or outdoors. The outdoor space should be roughly 16.4 feet x 16.4 feet (5 meters x 5 meters) with a
height allowance of about 9.8 feet (3 meters). Avoid operating your SKEET SHOOTER near power-lines, trees, or roof-tops. Do not operate your SKEET
SHOOTER during windy conditions or any harsh weather. If operating your SKEET SHOOTER indoors, the indoor area should be up to 16.4 feet x 16.4 feet
(5 meters x 5 meters) with the average household ceiling height.
Ensure the SKEET SHOOTER Launcher is turned off.
Using both hands, slide the 2 reload handles located on
either side of the Skeet Launcher all the way down and
release them. (The handles will return to their “up” position).
This will allow you to insert the Skeets into the launch slots.
When assembling a Skeet, make sure the “alignment arrows”
are visible on one side only. Looking at the Skeet Launcher
with the SKEET SHOOTER logo facing you, insert all 3
Skeets into the launch slots so that the alignment arrows on
each Skeet are facing you and aiming down (shown). It is
very important that the Skeets are inserted into the Skeet
Launcher correctly or the Skeets will not fit or charge.
Note: see illustrations on SKEET SHOOTER Launcher.
