BAMA 10th Annual Turkey Shoot
Nov 23 @ 8:30 am - 1:30 pm
FreeEnjoy great food, tests of skill, good old-fashioned competition and possibly take home your Thanksgiving dinner at the Ninth Annual BAMA Turkey Shoot! Visit Toney Creek Plantation for target shooting at its best. The plantation is located off Hwy. 247 at 155 Toney Creek Road, Belton. It sits on acreage owned by the same family for 200 years!
Registration begins on Saturday, November 23 at 8:30 AM at the scenic upland hunting preserve. The last shoot will be around 1 pm. Hosted by the Belton Area Museum Association, the event is free to attend. “Young and old are invited to participate in this old-fashioned event,” said Abigail Burden, BAMA Executive Director. A farmhouse breakfast will be served from 8:30 to 11:00 and include biscuits, sausage, eggs, grits, and coffee/juice for $10/person.
Participants can purchase turkey targets for $5 to $10 and engage in over 10 contests to win great prizes. Entrants will use shotguns to see who can put a pellet closest to the center of the target. Ammo and guns will be provided or you may bring your own gun. There is no limit to the number of targets participants can purchase. Prizes include frozen turkeys, hams, sausage, hunting and other outdoor related items, and dining gift certificates.
In the children’s division, those from 8 – 12 years of age can purchase a turkey target too. The targets will be set up at a shorter distance.
Shotguns and ammunition will be provided for all participants, or you can use your own gun after inspection.
“Even if you don’t want to participate in the turkey shoot, there are still lots of fun things to do at the event, and food, of course!” stated Burden. “Instruction in shooting will be available, so even novice shooters are encouraged to participate.”
Please call Abigail Burden, BAMA Executive Director, at 338-7400 for more information.
