For men and women, young and old, experienced marksmen and those who had never held a gun, the event was an opportunity to engage in some friendly competition, experience something new, or just spend an afternoon with family and friends.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the first timers, there was some patient instruction, words of encouragement and a lot of excitement.

\"\"<\/a>In the target shoot, 10 people at a time compete with the best shot taking home a turkey.<\/p>\n

In the pie plate event, community members purchase a spot for their name on a target. After the shot, the bullet hole determines the winner of the turkey.<\/p>\n
