Well As I only had 3 party poppers, This is the best shot of the bunch,
1st shot with the trigger about 5" away all I got was the lid coming off

2nd shot moved the trigger about 2ft away and missed the shot (to much delay)
3rd shot (shown) moved trigger back to about 10" (better but need a bit more delay)
So, if I had had another popper I was going to put it at about 12"-14" away and hoped that would have worked
