2026 Turkey Shoot

Event poster
2026 brings back Trap’s annual Turkey Shoot. This year, we have opted to change things up a bit, with bronze and light brown (puffer) clay pigeon colors in addition to the standard orange color. We have designed 8 separate prize categories to ensure that even new shooters have a chance at winning. Get ready for an exciting day on the trap line, blending friendly competition with a fun twist! Whether you are a seasoned veteran or stepping up to the field for your very first time, our Annual Turkey Shoot is designed to be welcoming, engaging, and thrilling for all skill levels. Please join us wearing your best hunting attire and bring a great turkey joke and gobble, as these will be prize categories.

In addition to standard orange clay targets, shooters will encounter special bronze targets (worth 2 points) and light brown puffer targets that explode in a cloud of smoke (worth 3 points). These bonus targets will be loaded into the machine randomly to add an exciting strategic layer and give beginners a fantastic chance to quickly jump up the leaderboard.

We are featuring 8 separate prizes totaling over $200 in value, including 10 boxes of Winchester AA ammo and 22 trap rounds up for grabs across our main and special events:

  • Grand Prize: 10 Rounds of Trap & 3 Boxes of Shells
  • 1st Place: 4 Rounds & 3 Boxes of Shells
  • 2nd Place: 3 Rounds & 2 Boxes of Shells
  • 3rd Place: 2 Rounds & 1 Box of Shells
  • Special Awards:
    Cast your ballot for:
    • Best Dressed Hunter
    • Best Turkey Gobble (human voice only!)
    • Best Turkey Joke.
  • Door Prize: 1 Round & 1 Box of Shells. 1 entry per participant.

The Turkey Shoot will run in place of regularly scheduled trap: A one-time entrance fee of $10 will cover prizes, and the regular pricing (WSC members: $4/round, non-members: $5/round) covers all targets. Signups at 12:30PM, shooting starts at 1:00PM.

Any questions, reach out to the Trap Committee.

There is no prospect of it being rescheduled for later in the year. Many thanks to all who worked on the event. We look forward to holding an Open House in 2027.
