The history behind Broken Bottle Arcade

Your Premier Destination for Precision Shooting

I didn’t create Broken Bottle Arcade to sell it. I built it because I love shooting bottles, and hated the mess.
It was more than twenty years ago that I built the original bottle arcade for my G2 Hunting Ranch in Pearsall, TX. My goal was to design a shooting gallery that would be a fun diversion for our guests to enjoy in their downtime. And what better targets than glass bottles? There’s no more satisfying and exhilarating reward for an accurate target shot than the sound of bottles shattering on impact. The challenge was to design a system that would capture the debris without a mess. What resulted was a simple but highly engineered arcade that has been a focal point of G2 ever since, delighting guests and bringing people together for fun, friendly competition, and occasionally even for high stakes wagers. These are things that gave my creation a purpose that was much more than the sum of its steel parts.

Now that fun can be shared in every backyard in America. Broken Bottle Arcade isn’t just a modern spin on a classic pastime, it’s a reason to connect, meet up, and bring friends and family together; A true and reliable memory-maker and a bridge between yawning generation gaps. It’s also a great way to impart knowledge in the safe use of firearms. Life is better with more time spent outdoors, and the thrill of shooting bottles never gets old.

 

Broken Bottle Arcade is easier to assemble than a flock of hawks over a field full of mice.

It was harder than I thought it was gonna be, for sure... There's a whole strategy to shooting it so I don't think I expected that... It was really fun, though. The two times that I did get it, I was like, YES!! … I would totally do this again.
