Turkey Shoot

October 21, 2019

On Saturday, November 2nd, we’ll be hosting our annual Turkey Shoot from 9am to about noon. Our pot luck meal has been cancelled due to a scheduling conflict. We hope to have a nice meal after the ham shoot. The turkey raffle will still be held after the Adios.

This is a great time for all, if you would like to try shooting trap, this is a great no pressure fun event. The fee is $5 per round, each round is a total of 15 targets.  3 shots per station, 5 stations.  Ammo is NOT supplied.

The Rules
1.) Every entry gets one ticket in turkey raffle.
2.) Yellow targets hit earn an extra ticket in turkey raffle.
3.) targets per station (15 targets total per round).
4.) “Backup” format – two shooters mount guns, the first shooter calls for the target and if they miss the target, the “backup” shooter can shoot at the
target. If the second shooter fires, that is his/her shot for the round regardless of whether or not the target is hit.
5.) Shooting out of turn is a lost target regardless of the actual target result.

October 8, 2019

Please come down and join us on Saturday October 19, 2019 from 9:00 AM – Noon (or when all interested shooters have completed shooting) for our monthly CMP Match Clinic.

The event is conducted in a match format (5 rounds for practice, 10 rounds prone, 10 rounds sitting or kneeling and 10 rounds standing), but the competition is secondary to the experience of firing these two iconic military firearms.

The cost for each match is $20 for ammunition (.30-06 or .223) and there is no cost if you bring your own ammunition. Minors must have a parent or guardian present.
