Popular on fairgrounds since the mid 1800s, they can come in many forms. Ours feature the ‘little men in the box’ set up, where the marksman must shoot down a set number of said ‘little men’ to win a prize. Often people play, not for the prize, but for the challenge, and the satisfaction of being their families number one sharpshooter. Perfect at a country fair, corporate event, or pretty much anywhere for that matter, step right up, and try your aim.
