The Dream

Since the 18th century, carnivals all over the world have had mechanically driven live fire shooting galleries entertaining all ages. Disneyland made a lasting impact on the way live fire galleries were operated when they adopted a more “futuristic” inferred system in 1979 bringing an end to using real ammo.

Al Richenson, however, had the dream of bringing a live Shootin' Gallery to his shop. In 2015, his son Lee made this dream come true.

↠ Live Fire Gallery ↞

The wild West Is Back and Calling Your Name

Forging many of the implements himself, Lee contracted with a local electrician to create the one of a kind carnivalesque live Shootin' Gallery.

“I took my boys and wife to the gallery today. It was a lot of fun and the range master was very knowledgeable and friendly. I will be coming here again with my family.” - Customer

Al teaching 12yr old Lee to shoot.

Now, after more than 35 years, you can participate in this rootn’ tootn’ shootn’ experience. Come see it for yourself and be a part of history.
