The Hunting in the Ozarks attraction on The Pike was a shooting gallery.

Description[edit | edit source]

The Hunting in the Ozarks was essentially a shooting gallery with a huge and impressive twist. Instead of leaning against a rail and shooting objects lined in a row, as in a carnival, the marksman (or woman), would fire in a huge area populated by squirrels, rabbits, quail, deer, bear; every Ozark game animal from the Missouri/Arkansas Ozark country was represented. They glided in and out real trees, rocks, water, and foliage on rails.

The Savage Model 1903-22 Caliber Repeater, and semi-smokeless shot was used in this shooting gallery.

Though the attraction was free, the concession charged a rather pricey 20 cents(equivalent to $6 in 2021) for only 7 shots.
