There are no batteries included, what I really expect from a battery-powered products. So inserted new batteries from the pack and go hunting. First spotted bow tie and missed her one. Loud noise, bright flash, fly on the ground. Was probably a tough guy, all 3 seconds later fit. So repeat! Had pop, flash, ground, pitch. She flies back. After 7 attempts kept the fly with the bat on the ground until it was done. Tests on other subjects were similar. So batteries out and back to Amazon. Now shut tape are hung.
