It wasn’t what your grandfather would call a tradition turkey shoot, but the NWTF's Still Target Championship. The NWTF conceived the shoot 16 years ago as a way to help turkey hunters better understand point of aim and point of impact with their turkey guns. This shoot judged competitors on their ability to shoot stationary targets exactly 40 yards away. The winner was determined by the number of pellets shot into a three-inch circle. Back in my turkey shoot days we paid the entry fee and were handed a 12 or 20 gauge field load of #8 shot. From 40 yards we fired at cardboard squares with an X draw across it. The winner was the shooter with a pellet at the center of the X. As the winner you had a choice of a frozen turkey or a canned ham.
