Go hunting
with ChiCoin
target game
Hunt Club, a new target gun
game from Chicago Coin , features
flying ducks, leaping rabbits, climb-
ing squirrels and sitting groundhogs
as flashing targets in a pastoral
setting .
The game brings a new challenge
to shooting skill, according to
ChiCoin Executive VP Avron Gens-
. burg, and has demonstrated "excel -
lent earnings" at 25-cent play on
test locations .
" For the first time in the history of
target gun games, we've put a
colorful glass target area into a five -
foot wide picture frame only 6
inches deep . The glass is specially
treated to eliminate glare and pro-
vide full visibility in brightly lighted
locations . The target mounts on a
weighted metal floor stand or on a
wall and may be placed up to 12 feet
from the gun console ," Gensburg
said.
Bonus shots are awarded for
accurate shooting and extended
play is adjustable from a starting
score of 210 points . The gun is a
simulated over-under shotgun oper-
ating through a single, inexpensive,
easily replaced photoelectric cell. It
is attached to the gun console by a
six-foot flexible hardened stainless
steel armored cable that discour-
ages theft and vandalism, Gensburg
added .
The stand , console and target are
packed in a single shipping crate for
convenience and economy.
