Disneyland - Frontierland Shooting Exposition

The Shootin’ Exposition, is a shooting gallery whose guns fire infrared beams instead of bullets. Set in the 1850’s depicting a town in the Southwest Territory with 18 rifles available for use. You will be shooting at a bank, jail, hotel an stables in the town of Boothill. Passports can’t be used here, so you will need cash to play the Frontierland Shootin’ Exposition.

Howdy Shootin' Dude! I suppose you think you're a pretty good sharpshooter. Put in a couple of quarters and show off your marksmanship.

As you "shoot" your rifle (there are no bullets here), you'll be rewarded for the hits you make. Whenever you hit a bulls-eye, bells ring, lanterns light, a player piano belts out a tune, owls hoot, a skunk lifts its tail...etc. These antics make the "Shooting Exposition" shooting gallery just as much fun for the spectators as it is for the participants!

Trivia: From 1957 to 1985 the Frontierland Shootin' Exposition used lead pellets in the .54 caliber Hawken rifles; however, they would chip the paint off the sets and targets, so the shooting arcade was repainted nightly. In 1985 it was rethemed, so now the shooting arcade uses infrared laser beams to determine the accuracy of the shooters, saving 2,000 gallons of paint a year! You get 35 shots for $1.00.

Guests in wheelchairs should use the rifles to the left of the attraction, which are mounted on a lower countertop.

The names of the buildings are clever references to the fact that they're miniatures. Maybe the designers thought the forced perspective would be a little tough to swallow so they encourage you to "Drink Mousehead Beer" on the side of the hotel.
