Barren River Rod and Gun Club

What is a Turkey Shoot and it’s Rules?

Turkey Shoot

Open to both members and public.

Registration will take place on-site at the day of the event. The registration cost is $5 per person per round.

This winter event takes place adjacent to the front trap range. Each shooter is provided with a single buckshot shell. The spray is random. The goal is to get closest to the absolute middle of the bullseye.

The winner gets bragging rights and a 50/50 pot (the winner and the club each receive half of the money collected from the competition.)
