168 South C Street Virginia City, NV , 89440-0000 Phone: (775) 847-0106 Website Sawdust Trails Shooting Gallery is similar to the ones you’ve played at Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, and even some sporting goods stores. Step right up and see how well you can shoot. You “shoot” at the targets with their unique laser light system and when you hit the target, the animatronics react and give you a show. This store is owned by the same family as Pop's Collectibles. They have a total of 4 machines that are all on wheels and may or may not be exactly distributed as listed. The man at Sawdust was very helpful, in pointing out that he had 4 machines total. 2 in this shop, one outside the shooting gallery and one outside Pop's.
Hours of operation: Monday through Sunday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. They open at 10ish but I got there at 10 and they hadn't opened yet, but I was sitting outside at 10 after and they opened. So, fluid opening time, did put one of their machines out front.
Admission: Free admission to the penny machine. Plenty of free parking on the street.
This store has two doors, one enters into the main store and the other enters into the Shooting Gallery.
Machine 1 (Placed 2017) is outside in front or inside in the back of the store. Cost is 51¢ each. Designs all have a beaded border with 'Virginia City Nevada':
1) (V) Crouching miner panning for gold.
2) (H) 'Reward Dead or Alive Territory'.
3) (H) Six pointed badge with 'Sheriff'.
4) (H) Steam Locomotive with tender.
