Every year Stonyford has a turkey shoot as a fund raiser for their fire department. I went a few years ago with Scot and a few others. Scot almost won the
clay pigeon shoot - he lost in overtime sudden death. It was a fun day. I didn't find any information about this year's event on the web, but got the
date and time from the general store. The fun starts on Saturday, 11/7, at 11AM. You take your own gun. You can try shooting clay pigeons, or targets with a
.22 pistol or rifle (open sights only), or roll dice (I think). You pay to compete in each event and winners get either a turkey or ham. There is also a
raffle, but I don't know what the prize this year is. The last time I was there, a .17 varmit rifle was the prize.
There may be some other event, like a flea market, held the same day. My memory is a bit fuzzy there.
I'm seriously thinking of going if the weather is accomodating. Right now, the forecast calls for a chance of rain in Stonyford. I'll go if it doesn't get worse than that.
Let me know if you're interested. I have guns that you can shoot (shotgun, rifle, pistol). You don't need a hunting license for this event. I'll plan on getting there around 10AM.
