"Sharp Shooter" is one of the rating levels, rather than the game name.

It's typically called a "Dale Gun" or "Mauser Shooting Gallery". Dates to 1947.

Neat. Dale Gun game. I have never owned one but always thought they were cool. There was one for sale with a nice price in MN recently.

Ah, found it.
minneapolis.craigslist.org link

yeah, that one's been kicking around here for a long time...

You're right. These never seem to command a lot even in nice condition. Which is odd as I think it has quite a bit going for it. Small footprint, fairly attractive with charming gameplay. It's from 1947! With a broom handle Mauser on it! It's like a piece of functional historical art.

Shay lists the back glass on their site. But that adds another $230 to the cost of the game. I swear I have also seen the reproduction optional marquee available somewhere for sale.

Looks like you already have a great start to bringing this one back.

Great job so far! Also Post here when it is finished:

So happy to find this thread! I've got one of these games, and I'm missing the forest background. Could someone make a scan of one that I could print out and install into my game? It's a little less fun shooting critters in a wooden box... Thanks!

Looking for one of these cash in hand message me

There was a pricey one on Chicago Craigslist recently

1949 exhibit supply silver bullets gun game . Looking for anyone who has this game. Any info would be helpful. Thanks George

Hey, I'm looking for the smaller cut out part of the artwork that the animals hide behind. Does anyone have a high res scan of it, or can you make me a high res scan or nice flat well lit photo with minimal distortion? Damaged is fine, I can correct it, as long as it's high res, like a 600DPI scan. I've rebuilt arcade art before from multiple flatbed scans and merging them.

Thanks!

you might try to contact paul reno at wisconsinpinball..he might have some cut and ready artwork for these games for sale at good price but you must ask him...do any other owners of this game need artwork animals or back artwork?

I Need background art. I have everything else. I got one of Paul's repro glasses and it looks great.

ok..i promise to follow up with a post after i see him sunday with info and some kind of price if available for artwork.. ...i have a backglass from this game paul gave us as gift few years ago for our arcade..im sure its the highest score possible as it has a bullet hole thru the glass

took this off the wall for photo.looks great hanging in gun game arcade area

Thanks, I'll definitely look into that.

While researching the artwork I found that the background is called something like "Yosemite Valley" by Albert Bierstadt

sorry all..last set of artwork was sold.

Dang, bummer. Is it worth contacting him for a digital copy that I can print myself?

Thanks

Dale Gun owners. I'm in the process of restoring a Dale Gun which survived Hurricane Sandy here on the Jersey Shore back in October of 2012. My back glass is in about 18 pieces and here is my plan on restoring the glass. First I took a picture of the backglass with all the pieces closely together. I'm now in the process of restoring the photo with photo shop. Here is a copy of my work so far. I will continue to refine the picture and once completed I'll share it with the forum. I will then print the image on Hygloss Transparency Film Acetate Sheets used for Overhead Projectors. I will then place it to the back of safety glass and see how it holds up. I'm open to other suggestions! Well, I've been putting this restoration off for seven years, time to get down the basement and get started.

I bought a new one from Paul Reno at Expo. I'm not sure if he has any left but check with him. If not I will sell you my old one which is very nice but couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a new one. Let me know if interested.

I'm restoring the Exhibit Supply Dale Gun. Does anyone have clear close up pictures of the targets (Squirrel, owl, rabbit, etc.)? Also, if anyone needs parts, I have extra that I could share at no cost. I'd rather see the parts used rather than sit on a bench. @pinsiders @dalegun

I need the background art if you have that or a hq scan!

Hi all,

I just got a Dale Gun that needs repair.
I wouldn't be taking it apart till this winter, but I am willing to do high resolution of artwork if I can for people.
I am also looking for a backglass, mine is in pretty wrough shape.

I would love a scan of the background!

Wisconsinpinball did make reproduction backglasses, I don't know if he has any left.

http://www.crowriver.com/decals/index.htm has pricing decals for your restoration.

I no longer have these NOS targets but here is a picture, Hope it helps.

20190707_130429 (resized).jpg

PM me your email and I’ll send you scans of the NOS targets. I haven’t installed them yet.

I've been repairing one of these off and on for the past 4 months or so. Someone hacked this thing up big time. The shot counter stepper unit has been converted from 16 shots to 20, the 100 counter unit has been disabled completely and its lights have been moved to the hit counter. So basically you have 20 shots to hit a total of 20 targets. Unfortunately whoever did this mod was a total amateur and left it in a pretty sorry state. Incorrect wiring, splices in random places, chopped wires left hanging etc. It's been pretty fun reverse engineering the changes but it has also been fairly frustrating at points. I've got it to the point where the hit registration and scoring works fine and it steps through everything as the previous modder likely intended. In the next few weeks I'll be converting it back to factory configuration; I've got the 100s unit working again, I just need to put the lights back, install the 16 hit pin in the hit unit, and convert the 20 shots back to 16. Then it'll be onto making reproduction art and touching up the backglass. When I'm finished with the art I'll post the files here for others to use. Hopefully I'll be posting pics of the final product here in the next month or so.

Just found this club and this thread. I’ve signed up and looking forward to what I can learn.

As to the Pistol Shooting Gallery, I’m in desperate need of the foreground and background scenes and would like new or copyable targets. Anyone have hints or leads? I gather from the prior posts that the reproduction backglass are no longer available. Mine is "okay" but could be replaced as well.

Thanks all

I have an unrestored version of this game. Complete but would need new glass and lots to TLC to make all contacts clean and working again. Would love to find somebody that wants it instead of sending to the scrap yard. I have had it for over 30yrs and will not move it again so if you have any interest, please let me know.
