The image depicts a carnival style shooting booth named The Frontier where two people fire weapons at migrant silhouettes carrying bags. Publication occurred during active Minutemen border watches in 2005.
Two people operate firearms from a seated position at the booth counter. One holds a rifle while the other grips a pistol. Spent casings scatter across the floor in front of them.
Silhouettes of five figures stand on a raised platform inside the booth. Each carries a bag and a long object. The sign above displays stars and the words Fair The Frontier.
The setup presents a game like arrangement with human forms as targets. This matches civilian border watch efforts active along the southwest line in spring 2005. The booth structure includes an awning and dark interior backdrop.
