The NWTF will host the World Wild Turkey Still Target Championships from October 2 to 3. It is a completion consisting of one shooter, one shotgun and one shotshell. The winner will be determined by the most shotgun pellets within a three-inch circle on a paper target from a distance of 40 yards. Back in the day we used square card board cards with a fine line “x” drawn from corner to corner. The winner was the shooter with a pellet closest to the intersection of the “x.” Winners had a choice of a turkey or a canned ham. Somehow a “canned ham shoot” doesn’t have the same ring as a turkey shoot. There was one participant with an old Mossberg goose gun—you know the old bolt actions with a 34-inch barrel—who won more turkey and ham than you could shake a 12-gauge shell at. That old Mossberg was banned from completion to level the playing field. That was some canned ham gun if you ask me.
