Shooting Gallery (shootgal)'s default PORT_CROSSHAIR values are reverse and unscaled against the game's screen resolution.
The game does not offer a calibration option, but the test mode that comes up after a few seconds upon setting the DIP switch shows the internal crosshair for adjusting the gun.
The new offsets are manually determined. They are visual cues for the MAME users only and are unrelated to the game's operation.

Note that I have also added a reason why Cobra is not supported which was pointed out in PR#8689.
* Restricted Linux CI build to only run on changes to code,
translations, software lists, and build scripts.
* Restricted Windows/macOS CO to only run on changes to code and build
scripts. They provide nothing over Linux for the other stuff.
* Added plugin properties and controller file validation to the "hash"
workflow.
* Added a workflow for building documentation, so pull requests that
affect documentation will at least get a basic check in advance.
-plugins/autofire: Bumped version as configuration format has changed.
* autofire, inputmacro: Made left/right repeat when held (makes setting
long delays/durations easier).
* autofire, inputmacro: Added headings for devices in input selection
menus (helps when controller buttons have identical names, e.g. AES)
* autofire: Made intial selection when moving between menus intuitive,
log some errors on saving/loading configuration.
* autofire: Fixed two errors in Chinese localisations.
