[QUOTE="jimisbell, post: 2002992, member: 114969"] Back in the 30s, my father used to go to "Turkey Shoots" just before Thanksgiving where they would tie down a turkey by its feet behind a log and the idea was to hit him when he stuck his head up to look around, with your 22LR. If you got him you could take him home. We ALWAYS had turkey dinner. That would probably be frowned on these days as cruel. Later they would set up wooden matches on a rail and to get a turkey all you had to do was light a match without cutting it down. The change was probably because of protests. We still ate turkey for thanksgiving dinner. They paid for the turkeys...and then some...by charging a fee for each shot you took. It was a charity event. They didnt make much off my father, he was small bore champion of CA in 1936..??.. [/QUOTE]
