The game uses a first-person perspective and requires the NES Zapper to target ducks and clay pigeons on the screen. In the main mode, players must shoot the required number of ducks per round before running out of shots. Successful hits advance the stage, while misses increase the challenge as ducks become faster and more evasive. A clay shooting practice mode is also included to help players improve timing and accuracy.

When two ducks appear, prioritize the one with the more predictable path or the closer distance. Practice mode is useful for learning how your setup responds at different screen distances. Keep your aim steady and avoid panic firing, since accuracy matters more than speed.
