Targets included elephants, rhinos, hippos, snakes, and jungle cats.
Cost was 25 cents for a tube of lead pellets
Required a "C" ticket in 1964-1965
From Attractions Report 1965
Lowered to a "B" coupon or 25¢ in order to stimulate cash business. Since there is only one "B" coupon per ticket book and the Shooting Galleries have high cash appeal this change should increase cash income. A cash price of 25¢ is also compatible with the 25¢ value given to the "B" coupon.
From WED Disneyland Dictionary 1968
Provides elephants, lions, apes, sharks and other big game for targets as "jungle-hunter" guests try their skill with elephant guns.
Firing away at a small moving target isn't everybody's idea of a great way to spend an hour, but the trigger-happy keep the place lively when it's open-usually only on the busiest days. Like the Frontierland Shooting Gallery, it's painted after every day of operation, and stripped every other week. There are 26 separate colors used on the targets. The Harper Goff billed on the window above the Big Game Shooting Gallery as a source for oriental tattooing and banjo lessons was a major contributor to the designs for Adventureland. 25¢ per 15-bullet round.
