Turkey Shooters Raise Cash for Lions Club


Shooters compare targets.

After a disappointing turnout last year, Skidmore-Tynan Lions Club members were pleased by the success of Sunday's Annual Turkey Shoot. Participants in this year's fundraiser shot ten rounds for ten turkeys, plus one split-the-pot round, raising over $200 in support of Lions charities. The Signal can testify that all participants were excellent shots provided they were using shotguns. In the 22 rifle round, all ten shooters missed their targets completely. It was agreed that the fault must lie in the vintage 22 rifle loaned by Lion President David Waishes. After switching to a more contemporary model, two shooters succeeded in hitting the target. The rest repeated their performance of the previous round. Mr. Waishes was happy with the results as he only had to draw up two new targets and can reuse the rest in next year's shoot. The Lions thank Hoot Owl Hollow for hosting the event.
