GAME PLAY
In order to experience the most challenging form of play, the blaster and the controller must be in direct competition with each other. The blaster tries to hit the duck with his IR beam and the controller tries to avoid getting his duck. There are some flight maneuvers that can be done so that it becomes more difficult for the duck to be shot down.The duck’s IR receiver is located at the ventral (bottom) part of the duck, so any flight pattern that obstructs the blaster’s direct view of the bottom of the duck will help the duck avoid getting hit. It is up to the duck controller to discover these flight maneuvers and for the blaster to counteract them. As the duck flies along its frantic path, it represents a moving target to the blaster. The object of the game is to see either how long it takes the blaster to bring the duck down (time trial), or how many shots are required to bring the duck down (shot count). The 2 players take turns shooting and controlling the duck. It is possible to make this game even more challenging by allowing the duck 5 seconds to get away immediately after launch, and prior to shooting, or to launch the duck at a further distance away from the blaster.

CHOOSING YOUR FLYING LOCATION:
You can operate your Duck Hunter Xtreme toy outdoors on a calm day or indoors. The outdoor space should be roughly 50’ x 50’ (15 meters x 15 meters) with a height allowance of about 20’ (6 metres). Avoid operating your Duck Hunter Xtreme near
FLYING AND HUNTING YOUR Duck Hunter Xtreme:
The duck is ready to fly as soon as it is finished charging. The objective of the Duck Hunter Xtreme game play is to shoot down the duck with the blaster quicker than your opponent and with fewer shots. To do this, take turns controlling and shooting the duck. It takes 3 direct hits to bring down the duck.
Player 1: The Duck Controller
For the time trial mode, a third player (referee) would be required to time each hunt with a stopwatch (not included). The blaster who takes the least amount of time to bring down the duck is the winner. The number of shots fired at the duck is irrelevant in this mode.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
The blaster who brings down the duck with the least amount of shots fired is the winner. It is necessary to get a direct hit on the duck 3 times. If both players uses 3 shots to bring down the duck, the game is a tie and it will be necessary to play again until a winner is declared. For this mode only 2 players are needed.
It is possible to hone your skills at controlling the flight of the duck. This is a one player mode of play and it involves no hunting aspect whatso- ever. Marvel at the amazing prowess and control of the duck in flight and hone your skills to make it more difficult for your competitor to shoot your duck down during competition.

process is done successfully. Note, it is necessary |
to reload the Blaster after each shot fired. |
4a. If your shot misses the duck, the duck will continue to fly in the direction that the controller intends it to.
b. If your shot hits the duck, the duck will stop operating for a brief moment and appear to fall. This is meant to simulate a glancing blow to the duck. The duck will resume its flight right away.
5. Reload the Blaster and shoot at the duck again. |
6. When you shoot the duck directly for the |
second time, the duck will appear to temporarily |
fall again just like in step 4b. Normal flight will |
resume again momentarily. |

4.Once inserted, enable the charging mode by switching on the transmitter. When charging the duck, the GREEN LED
indicator light should be ON. When the duck has been fully charged, this GREEN LED indicator light will switch off.
5.Once the green GREEN LED indicator light on the transmitter turns off, remove the duck from the adapter. You are now ready to play Duck Hunter Xtreme.

targeting sight notch located at the upper front of |
the Blaster with the double targeting sight notches |
located at the upper rear of the Blaster. When |
