Hillbilly Rifle Range
 
Hey,

A bit odd, but do you guys remember going to the local fair and playing on the Hillbilly rifle range?
It consisted of a large diorama on a truck, which you shot at with rifles, and you aimed a specific targets which then triggered certain things to happen, such as: There was an old woman in a rocking chair, if you shot her, she started rocking; there was an old man in a bath tub, if you shot him, he turned towards you and sprayed water at you out of his mouth; if you shot the barn door, and old guy came out and started shouting etc etc...

Anyway, my girlfriend remembers see this thing, maybe it was just a UK thing, anyway, I can't find any images of it on google...

Basically, this could quite possible be the greatest thing ever.

That sounds like the coolest game ever.

The Usher 10.03.2007 03:40 PM

Yeah, it was so cool. If my girlfriend hadn't confirmed she'd also seen it, I would have thought I imagined it...I really need to find some images or something...

i have seen them at some of the boardwalk amusement places on the coastal resorts, i was never that good at it, but then again i have a theory that the sight was crooked

my favorite are the horse racing ones, where you roll a ball into numered holes that moves the horse along and you race up to 11 other for a stuffed animal

The Usher 10.03.2007 03:42 PM

Cool, do you remember was it called Hillbilly?

SynthethicalY 10.03.2007 03:48 PM

Was it this one?

Nope, kinda like this:

 


Man, I wanna dedicate all my spare time to making one of these and just driving round and then parking it up and freaking people out with it!

Isn't it pretty much like this when you walk out your front door?

On a slightly different note, found this place:

Man, this place looks insane, lucky Americans!

nomadicfollower 10.03.2007 07:04 PM

Those used to be really common around here. I can only think of one place that has one, although it's been updated.
