The middle section of the gallery features the town of Tombstone (including a bank, a hotel and a jail) with targets on them. To the right of the town, guests can also shoot an ore car coming out of a large mine. When guests hit the various targets, the targets animate in some way. As guests shoot at the targets, a fog will roll over the graveyard, changing the weather from clear and calm, to dark and stormy. After the fog roles in, guests will hear coyotes howl, bridges creek, and thunder in the background.
In 1982, the lead balls that guests shot out of the rifles were replaced with infra-red technology. The reason for the change was twofold. Besides safety concerns, cost was also a factor as cast members would have to re-paint the targets almost on a nightly basis (due to the lead pellets chipping the paint) <ref> http://disney-pal.com/MagicKingdom/frontierland_shootin_arcade.htm </ref>. The only other major change to the attraction came on September 26, 1984 when it was renamed the Frontierland Shootin' Arcade <ref> http://thisdayindisneyhistory.homestead.com/Sep26.html </ref>. In June 2011, the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade's exterior was refurbished. The attraction reopened in November 2011 <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/frontierland-shootin-arcade/news/04nov2011-frontierland-shootin'-arcade-reopens-at-the-magic-kingdom.htm#.TrQylkMZ9TU.twitter </ref>.
On October 1, 2021, the Frontierland Shootin' Arcade became free to play <ref> https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/frontierland-shootin-arcade/news/08oct2021-frontierland-shootin-arcade-at-magic-kingdom-switches-to-free-play.htm </ref>. It is unclear how long this change will remain.
