Make Sure to Hit the Largest Target to Get an A

There are three types of targets in Barrel Bowling: large, medium, and small, and You must hit the big target in the back to get an A rank.

Once you are in a standing position, Use L2 button + right stick to adjust the direction of the roll. If you roll it around the small target in the center, it will tend to roll straight.
You Can’t Throw the Same Way Every Time

For the Second Throw, Aim for the Area With the Most Targets
If you can knock down the large target in the back with the first throw, roll the barrel with the second throw, aiming at the area where many middle targets remain. It is a good idea to change your standing position if necessary.
