Have fun, realize its a game not a 3D course or target. You may hit what you think is a a 10 shot and the cpu scores you a 5, that's life. It can be a blast with the right guys.

More serious advice: You will likely shoot in a tunnel type setting, so make sure your pins are bright enough or not too bright. Answer: A Tru-Glo light for 14 bucks is a good investment as well as something to cover your fibers if it's too bright. Have fun and good luck.

I agree with Ben, just have fun and don't let the scoring ruin your shoot. The video shoots sometimes makes you rush shots so be prepared for that as well.

As said, have fun. Those screens are a blast. The one thing I have found though is that the kill shots are not "true life". I mean, the score area of the target is just like on a 3D target whether quartering to or away.

Actually on the ones that I have shot, they seemed to place more emphasis on making sure you were taking a broadside or quartering away shot.
