What happened to the turkey shoots?

[gh1950]

Didn't do it regularly, but won a couple of birds with a Beretta 390 and some custom trap chokes,

Always checked that everyone was shooting out of the same box of shells,


I went to one many many years ago, where there was a "trapper" behind a barricade that threw 4" plywood blocks in the air, and closest to shot to the center won, Only shoot I know of that was conducted like that. Think the intent was to eliminate any supposed advantage of the "long toms"

If they threw them up on edge spinning the same each time, that'd seem fair and random.

Local JCs. I do think the idea was to make it more random, more of a fun event.

I wouldn't want to pay to shoot against some Billy Bob showing up with handloads and a 38" barrel.
