Would it be a Twin Skeet Shoot?  I looked at the International Arcade Museum and this is the closest thing.  There is actually a flyer for it on ebay right now (pictured below)!
If it is all intact and the glass is in good shape (no or little flaking) I would think it would be worth at least $200.

Played the "skeet shoot" version as a teenager. It was fun. Good luck!!

It's an electro-mechanical game, so you may need to clean all of the contacts on the switches, relays, steppers, etc. before you use it.  If it doesn't work, it could just be the dirty contacts. Plus if it doesn't work, you should be able to get it cheaper!  :;):

Hey guys,long time since I posted but a buddy and I recently (Oct.06) picked a Big Top Twin Rifle Gallery,Not in the greatest condition but fair.He put it on ebay and got $1,000 for it.We were both quite surprized.Usually gun games go for 300-400.You just can't know what some item on ebay will bring.

Hello, Everyone
                           I know I forgot to  take a camera  :blush:
I my defence  I had to rush Home Get the trailer hooked up & pick-up some help & rush back across town  :p Stand in a dark garage with a flash light freezing my A$#@ off !! . Then NOT get the game because it was  WAY above my skills for me to repair .  :( I'll try and do better next time .
