A shooting gallery is a wonderful way to earn PASSIVE REVENUE! The typical costs to maintain and operate a shooting gallery are less than 5% of the revenue it earns.
- What is the ROI timeframe for a typical shooting gallery? Toggle
There are many factors that can affect shooting gallery revenue. The same shooting gallery can earn at entirely different levels in 2 different places, even if there are the same number of guests at each place. With that said, we see typical operators earn a full ROI usually in 10-16 months. We own several of our own shooting galleries on location and have experienced this level of income first hand.
- How well are your shooting galleries built? Toggle
We use industrial grade pneumatic components designed to operate for millions of duty cycles. Our master certified welders use high grade steel and grade 5-8 hardware. Pivot joints are reinforced with carefully chosen components like brass bushings, pillow bearings, and precision machined parts to provide decades of worry free service. We encourage all of our potential clients to visit one of our shooting galleries and proudly show the quality of fabrication. Most clients that take a detailed look at how we build our animatronics are thoroughly impressed and often surprised we don't charge significantly higher prices.

You can select from any number of price plans in order to maximize your revenue. Some examples of a bonus pricing structure include 1 game for $2, 3 games for $5, 7 games for $10, or 1 game for $1, 3 games for $2, or 1 game for $3, 2 games for $5. We recommend you consider the clientele you have, and the shooting gallery you purchased when choosing your price plan, then try a few different combinations to see what does the best!
- Do your shooting galleries out earn and outperform the competitions’? Toggle
Yes. Hands down! All of our shooting galleries are carefully designed to attract the most number of players, give them a clear invitation to purchase multiple games at higher prices, and then give them great reasons to do it!
One of our customers proudly exclaimed, "We replaced our Pan Amusements shooting gallery with a Daniels Wood Land shooting gallery of the same size with fewer guns. Aside from the amazing theming, and heavily entertained guests, the new shooting gallery earns 5 times the revenue!"
At first this may be hard to believe, but here's how we did it: We realized years ago that an active player is a valuable asset, and the huge potential revenue from multiple plays is totally overlooked by our competitors. We learned that typical players purchase repeat plays approximately 5% of the time on our competitors' shooting galleries. We knew we could do a lot better! That's why our shooting galleries have carefully conceived and implemented features that include a bonus pricing structure, 2 ways to play, several different types of guns, rotating target responses, heckling characters, quickshot challenge targets, synchronized competitive play, and more. As a result, we see as much as 80% of players purchase repeat plays on our shooting galleries. These same features also attract more players and cause players to perceive a higher value to play. So instead of the typical $0.50-$1.00 per game price to play our competitors' shooting galleries, you can charge $2-$5 per game!
So if we put all of these facts together, it becomes easy to see how our shooting galleries attract more players, command a much higher price to play, and convince players to purchase more repeat plays. Game, set, match.
