Query: Not as good as it looks

I was so excited when I purchased this for my 5 year old son, thinking it would be a great way to spend some cold winter afternoons. However, it is still sitting in the same place he unwrapped it nearly a month ago. Although the directions clearly tell you how to shoot and aim appropriately, they are a bit flawed. The gun is not "calibrated" to send the infrared beam to the can or bottle. Nothing happens when you aim for the bottle, can, or log. In order to hit the target, you must aim at the bottom edge of the log resting against the table or floor. Once you aim there, you can knock it off every time. Thus, there is nothing realistic about trying to hit the target. Once we showed him where to aim to hit the target (essentially, the floor), the game lost its magic because that makes no sense to a 5 year old. What fun is it to aim at the floor and have a can on a log fly off? Great idea, just not so well made...
