Frontierland Shootin' Arcade, an attraction in Frontierland, simulates a shootout in Tombstone, Arizona, over Boothill in the 1850s. The gallery includes a jail, hotel, bank, and cemetery with targets which are animated when shot. There are 97 targets in this attraction. When it originally opened, the guns shot lead pellets, but were replaced with infra-red light rifles due to the costs of repainting the targets almost every night. This would use over 2,000 gallons of paint a year.

Practice your sharp shooting skills at this interactive infrared-rifle arcade. Filled with comical and often surprising Old West targets, Frontierland Shootin' Exposition is perfect for pioneers big and small.

Scope out one of 18 rifles, insert a few coins and line up your sights on one of the glowing red targets in the sleepy 1850s town of Boothill. When you successfully hit a target, you'll be rewarded with entertaining sounds and animations. Some animations have a supernatural twist!
