Frontierland Shootin' Arcade is an attraction in Walt Disney World which simulates a shootout in Tombstone, Arizona, over Boot Hill in 1850.[1] The gallery includes a jail, hotel, bank, and cemetery with targets which are animated when shot. There are a total of 97 targets in the shooting gallery. Originally, the guns shot lead pellets, but were replaced with infra-red light rifles due to the maintenance costs of repainting the targets almost every night. This would use 2,000 gallons of paint a year.[2]

Similar attractions exists in Disneyland as the Frontierland Shootin' Exposition; in Disneyland Park (Paris) as the Rustler Roundup Shootin' Gallery; and in Tokyo Disneyland as the Westernland Shootin' Gallery.
