Turkeys
Come and
Turkeys Go Lincoln Rifle Club’s First Annual Turkey shoot was
held at the Dillman Range on Saturday, November 8th. We had five black powder shooters competing
for the “turkey” prizes. Silhouette
targets were set up at the 50, 100, 150 and 200-meter ranges. With five shots in 10 minutes, shooters
were challenged to shoot five targets at each range. Dennis (Edit) was our first prizewinner in
the “Traditional” Class, and Chuck (Edit) was our First prizewinner in the
“Modern” Class. The two second prizes
went to Jerry (Edit) and Ron (Edit).
Luckily Barbara (Edit) was on hand to receive the “Turkey Spam” as the
“thanks for showing up” prize. Scott (Edit) showed up with his ATV and trailer to
assist with setting up the steel targets.
The weather was perfect with just enough wind to keep the lead balls
from finding their targets. We had fun
and laughs and some pretty incredible shots. Plan to join us next year in November, 2004, for our
Second Annual Turkey Shoot. Black
Powder rifles (and pistol) just might be here to stay! Mark your calendars. |
