This seems to have become a game of chance rather than skill. I've tried aiming, I've tried shooting at random, and sadly, I don't see a difference in the scores I receive. And on some shots that do hit the bullseye, it tells me I only hit for +5 even though the hole left behind is clearly in the center. Then again, it occasionally gives me a bullseye for hitting the +5 ring.
EDIT: Well, I just went back and played again, and discovered that a new balloon was added as well (unless I have just never seen it before):
It gives 2x the bonus of the normal balloons. Another discovery is that if you save all your powerups until your last shot, it all gets wiped out if you are unfortunate to get Punchbag Bob as a target. I had three powerups selected for the last shot, Bob was put in and *poof*! all my powerups were GONE.

I usually use my powerups during game play. XD I upped my score yesterday from 71 to 78---I'm on my way towards that avatar! And I too discovered the Hagan balloon the other day and I was like, "Oooohhhh" and all. XD I love those balloons, since they really help out with the score. ^^

A friend in my guild suggested that you do not adjust the postition of the arrow and just use the strength of the shot to get points. After a little bit of practice using that technique, my scores have become higher. I got a score of 94. VERY close to the avatar. Bascally if you get the balloon and the target on the same shot, it should be realitively easy to get the avatar score. Getting a bullseye on the last shot lets you keep on shooting until you don't get a bullseye, just like with the original version.
I also noticed with punchbag bob, sometime when i try to press the arrow to quicken the animation, it just skips to the next target. I have to just wait while he is slowly pushed across the screen.

My highest score is 65. Always shoot King Hagan baloons they give you an insane amount of points

Awhile ago i managed to get the Avatar with a score of 110 (i think... it was just over the avatar score whatever that is), and like others have said, i've found the best way to play is to stay at the default angle and just adjust the power.
The new King Hagan balloon gives you +10 points for hitting it (regardless of whether you land on the board or not... i think) and another 30 points for hitting the target. So theoretically you could get 50 points for one shot if you managed to hit the Hagan balloon and get a Bullseye

I just tried it out for the first time, and got a score of 98... I was very shocked.. and then very p***ed off that it was so close to the avatar and not quite good enough! I shall keep trying, now I'm got a little confidence!
