Today I took my son to his first standing target 'turkey shoot'
And I have good results!!
We got to the Turkey shoot kinda late, and there was only 2 rounds left. Each round had 12 guys shooting a standing target from 100' using a 12ga. with a full choke.
I shot the first round, and tried to zero in on the pattern. I told my boy where to put the bead, and my son shot the second round. He and another guy each had a pellet really close to the 'X'...the winner was too close to call so they had a shoot off. Again, they each had a pellet really close to the 'X'..this time they got a set of calipers to measure the distance from the 'X'. The holes were EXACTLY the same distance away!! Once again, a shoot off. This time my son clearly won..talk about a kid being happy!!, and a dad being really proud!
This year for Thanksgiving we will be eating a 15.6 lb turkey. And all it cost us was $8, and a really good time between father and son!
Next week is another shoot...and my son already said he wants to go back. LOL
