Default RE: Turkey shoot questions

The last turkey shoot I participated in took place at a pistol match in Yuma, AZ. It consisted of one shot from the pistol or revolver of your choiceat an axe blade set up at 25 yards with a baloon on each side. $0.50 per shot. In order to win, you had to hit the axe sufficiently dead-center to get a piece of the bullet to shave off each side and break both baloons.

My whole pistol team entered (4 people) and three of us won a turkey, bang, bang, bang, three in a row!! I used my Colt Officers' Model .38 Special with wadcutter ammo. This revolverwas a special "single-action only" version of the Officer's Model .38 Special Match revolver, and was extremely accurate with a great trigger! One of the guys on the team had done this stunt before, and he told me "aim at the bottom edge of the axe blade. The bullet will split, and the pieces will go UP and back." I did, and it worked!

The shoot sponsors wouldn't let any of my team shoot again! $1.50, three turkeys.......can't complain!
