Barker Bill's Trick Shooting is an NES shooter made by Nintendo in 1990.

It consists of 4 carnival-type game modes in which the player uses a Zapper to shoot various objects. The game modes consist of:

Balloon Saloon
Flying Saucers
Window Panes
Fun Follies

In the different game modes, you had to shoot objects with your zapper for points with limited ammo. You would lose points if you shot a baby, mom, etc. The game did not spawn any sequels. It has not been in any cameo appearances to this date either.

The dog from Duck Hunt makes a cameo here. He can also be shot.

[edit] Trivia

Barker Bill's Cartoon Show was the first network television weekday cartoon series, airing on CBS in 1952. The show was hosted by a stationary picture of the Barker Bill character with an off-camera announcer introducing the cartoons. The image of Barker Bill on the cover of the Nintendo game closely matches the television version.
