How to Play

Players shoot at the Rubber Duck target using a skipping WaterRipper using a overhand, sidearm or backhand throw on the water surface.  The first person to tap the rubber duck win one point (Quack), or knock it over get two points (Quack, Quack). Players can play on any type of water craft such as a kayak, raft, noodle, boat, water tube, boat and more. You can set up a goal post with Duck Chlorinator which forces you to actually knock the duck over. QuackShoot Kits are available at  RipperBall.com Sports,  For a full gallery of photos check out our Quack Shoot Gallery.

 

Rules

Find a suitable location for QuackShoot. Test the waters with a rally between players using the WaterRipper. Toss the rubber duckie into the middle of your defined WaterCourt or midway between players.  Players generally should be 10′ – 90′ apart. Based on skills and ability, consider the appropriate amount of space between player(s) and target.

 

Start by playing catch skipping the WaterRipper rallying while strafing the duck or target.

Now you are ready…

1. While playing catch or solo, shoot the WaterRipper at the rubber duck target. Depending on your power, you will either tap or knock the duck over. You just need to hit the rubber duck with a ripping & skipping WaterRipper or  you can use a direct hit. (ripping & skipping is more fun.)

2. Hit the Rubber duck.  Quack!

3. Knock it over. Quack! Quack!

4. The winner gets the first shot at the next rally and QuackShoot.

 

Considerations

1. Test the waters, know the terrain, current and conditions.

2. Play and make up the rules as you go. Try to be inclusive of all skill levels of players.

3. Have fun and be aware of other people around you.

4. Play anywhere – Play in the water, sitting at the water edge, in the water, riding a noodle, in a kayak, on a boat…

5. The duckie will move around with hits and current so move around it and maintain equal distance.

6. Reset the Duckie Periodically after a round, you can grab the duckie and throw it for better position for another round.

7. Defend the Duckie a 2nd player or 3rd player or more can defend the duck by catching or defelcting shots on the duckie.

8. Young kids may want to just shoot at the duckie at close range.

Gradually move them further away from the duckie as they accomplish more power, control & better ripping skills.

Remember: If you don’t have a rubber duck, a ball ring or noodle makes a suitable target. Don’t miss out on the WaterRipper Quack Shoot game, it is fun with any target! WaterRipper Quack Shoot target can be ANY floating object.

What is Water Golf:

Water Golf is similar to golf (surprise!) except that it’s played on the water surface. The set up is that you have a clearly defined water court for your game. The main piece of equipment you need for a game of Water Golf? WaterRipper!

According to Wikipedia, WaterRipper is one of two products on the market targeted to Water Golf. Perfect! So now you know what WaterRipper is the perfect choice in equipment.

What you will need prior to game:

Required:

• Any type of water surface
• A clearly defined water court
• WaterRipper (floating waterbag)

Optional:

• Water noodles
• Kayaks
• Rafts
• Launching devices

What are the rules:

Players shoot at targets using a skipping WaterRipper. Players can play on any type of water craft such as a kayak, raft, noodle, boat, tube and more. Players drive the WaterRipper using your arm, or perhaps a launching device. Water Golf scoring and general rules are determined by whoever is playing the game!

Rules and regulation, similar to a real game of Golf:

 1. Find a suitable location to “tee off” from. If you’re at the pool, try starting at the diving board. Launch the WaterRipper as far as you can towards the goal. Just like regular golf, everyone tee’s off at the same time in Water Golf with their WaterRipper.
2. Locate your WaterRipper and take your next shot! The player farthest from the goal will shoot first. Based on distance to the goal, people will launch their WaterRipper in proceeding order.
3. Players record number of shots required to make the goal. Just like in Golf, player with the lowest score leads the next tee.
