Nov. 19 Turkey Shoot to Benefit Belton Area Museum
Thursday, November 3, 2022 at 5:43AM Observer Reports
The Eighth Annual Belton Area Museum Turkey Shoot is scheduled Nov. 19 from 8:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at the Toney Creek Plantation game preserve.
“This old-fashioned event has been updated with a modern twist,” said Abigail Burden, BAMA Executive Director. “This event is accessible to everyone because we use shotguns and targets. No live turkeys will be harmed in this contest.”
In the adult division (over 12 years old), participants can purchase turkey targets for $5 and $10, depending on the value of the prize being shot for during the round.
At least 10 shooting rounds are scheduled throughout the day, some for adults and some for children. Shotguns and ammunition will be provided for all participants or participants can use your own gun after inspection.
Targets for children’s division, those 8-12 years old, will be set up at a shorter distance for their rounds.
The event will kick off with a farmhouse breakfast including biscuits, sausage, eggs, grits, and coffee/juice is available for $10.
