Welcome to the Manchester Sportsman Club Turkey Shoot Info page.
The shoots begin at 12:00 noon and last until we run out of prizes. It usually ends around 2:00 or 3:00 pm. For those of you not familiar with how a turkey shoot works, it is simple. All you need to bring is:
(1) A 12-gauge shotgun.
(2) Hearing and Eye protection.
(3) Money (more on that below).
(4) A good attitude.
As you may or may not know, we dont shoot live turkeys nor do we give away live turkeys or any animals. Our turkey shoots are very simple, and the only thing getting hurt is paper and your ego. Basically, we stand about 20 yards away from a paper target with an X in the middle of it. We have 10 people in line to shoot and each person has 1 shot at their own target. The person with a hole closest to the center of the X, wins. Prizes may include meats, gift certificates, shirts and other prizes. The cost is $3 per shot. The prizes are generally valued at $10 - $20 dollars.
Everyone involved has a good time and anyone that can hold a shotgun in the standing position (or sitting if you are unable to stand) is invited to test their skills.
