Check The Site
Shoot just a few BB's at the star to start the game when looking through the target sight on the gun. According to blifaloo.com, many times these sights are not correct because the barrel of the gun is bent. By noticing how far off your first shot is from the sight, you can try to adjust your aim to compensate for an inaccurate sight.
Squeez Gently
Release only a small amount of BB's at a time. These gun triggers are designed to be very sensitive. You have a very limited number of BB's, so you need to make sure as few of them as possible hit areas on the target that you have already hit.
Shoot Around the outside of the Star
The rules of the Shoot Star game indicate that you cannot have any of the colored star remaining when you finish. To accomplish this, do not try to shoot for the middle of the star, instead shoot a circle around it. Your goal is to "cut out" the star within the circle, having it fall away from the paper. This will avoid having folded paper from the corner of the cars with some of the star remaining, resulting in a loss.
Set A Limit
Do not get conned by offers for cheaper plays of the game if you purchase additional rounds, such as "if you pay for this next one, I'll let you play the game after it for free." Remember, these games are designed with the operator having a significant advantage. These "free game" offers just prove that ̵2; the operator knows that he will still be making money because it's unlikely you will win. He might not receive the money for two games, but he'll get it for one, increasing his profit. Once you have set your spending limit, do not play again. Think of walking away without spending more than you intended as a win as well.
Keep The Paper Hanging
Do not shoot the piece of paper off of it's clip holding it. If the paper falls off the clip or is detached based on your shots, you will lose the Shoot The Star game.
