Random Question...Americans please.

[starrylizard]

At fairs, show grounds, circuses... that sort of thing. You know when they have those games where you have to shoot, like, little tin ducks to win big stuffed toys? usually in American movies the big tough guys play and win the toy for their chick.

What do Americans call those games?

Is it something like a shooting gallery?

Also, why is the game hard? Is it because the guns are not aligned properly or something?


It's for a fic. Thanks guys!

I don't know the right name (not being American) but shooting gallery sounds right to me. And I'm assuming they're hard because the 'bullets' are really, really light whilst the target they're trying to knock down is considerably heavier. It's all a bit of a con really =)

Oh well that makes sense. The bullets being light I mean. Thanks!

hmm. This is creating issues with my fictional character and her abilities. Damn it. *sigh*

I need to ask Erinrua all about guns again too. At least that will be fun! *wanders off rambling*
