'4 Turkey Shoot Is Christmas Feature Across Ontario Many an Ontario family will sit down to turkey dinner this Christ- mas to consume—perhaps in stag- es—a bird which was "shot" with- out ever being touched by bullet or pellet. For turkey shoot time has ended; birds which have been preserved in freezer or cold spot on the porch have been dressed and cooked (frequently only after the cookee has had to go out and buy or borrow a pan large en- ough). There was a time when the tur- key shoot called for the most skil- ful markmanship; now luck has much to do with it. In the earlier days, a live turkey was placed in a box, it's neck protruding from a small hole. Competitors used .22 rifles, with the first man to shoot the bead off the turkey winning the bird. Unfortunately, turkeys were frequently wounded but not killed; public sentiment rose against the practice and it was ended years ago. Today, fish and game clubs and associations throughout rural ar- eas of Ontario, with the blessing of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, operate differ- ently. The government approval comes from the fact that skilled instructors are standing by to is- sue—and supervise the carrying out of—safety regulations when firearms are used. In nearly ev- ery club, there are men who have qualified to instruct in the De- partment's hunter safety • course. They are now the "range mas- ters" of club turkey shoots and, as a result, accidents in such.ev- ents are practically unheard gf. This is what happens at a typi- cal annual shoot held near To- ronto. Profits from the affair go to a service club for charitable work. The Local rod and gun club supervises the entire affair and' has its instructors and members' on the job early in the morning. Targets are mounted on steel posts about 45 yards from the firing point. There are sheets of 8 x 11 white paper, with steel plates be- hind them sa that the shot (shot- guns are used in this shoot) can- not go far afield. In any case, it's half a mile to the nearest house or highway. Two "counters" take refuge be- hind a nearby barn. Their job is to change targets. Twenty tickets are sold at $1 a piece on each round and the man scoring the highest number of pellet holes in the p.a.per target is the winner of a bird. At the firing point, a safety in- structor stands by as each of two hunters comes up to fire. He is- sues one shotgun shell, usually containing No. 7 Vz shot, to each marksman and watches as guns are .loaded. Then he blows a whistle to clear the range, the counters hide' behind the barn, the shots are fired and the count is made while the next two marks- men are preparing to shoot, Generally, turkeys to be won run anywhere from 20 to 30 pounds in. weight which offers a problem to small families. Many of the birds find their way to large and needy families in the neighbor- hood while the "winner" settles for a chicken bought at a local store. No unsafe weapons are allowed on the range. If participants haven't shotguns of their own, club members loan their own priz- ed weapons. The "best" shot doesn't necessarily win for, at the range chosen, the . small shot doesn't carry too well. But since everyone is required to use the issued shotgun shells, and the shot in them isn't intended to carry too far or group too well, luck comes in. Inthis particular shoot; the club champion, who regularly wins the skeet shooting events and is known for his ability to knock down ducks at fabulous distances, had a total of •seven shot holes in his target. Two others, much less skilled, tied for a turkey With 16 pellets a piece. The winner of the shoot -off had eleven on tar- get. Some clubs split up the event between shotgun • and rifle users. Twenty-two calibre rifles are us- ed in the latter, with regulation targets. Again, the quality of the firearm doesn't determine the winner, for the ammunition issued evens things. Men with the high- est quality firearms, the "bull pup" type of target rifle with spe- cial stocks, telescopic sights and all the gadgets, frequently watch the youth with the borrowed .22 rifle walk away with the bird.

Plans 1960 Activities (Contributed) The monthly meeting of the OFU got off to a good start Wednesday night with good attendance. The night of meeting has been chang- ed to the second Wednesday night of each month, instead of the sec- ond Tuesday, as requested by some members. Mrs. May Goven- lock gave a good report on the egg marketing meeting held in Clinton on December 6th. After discussion, the Local felt the plan would be useless unless it was Dominion -wide, as the Western Provinces would flood Ontario with eggs. Letters have been sent to coun- ty organizations on the need of a vocational school in Huron" The quarterly county meeting in Clin- ton has been postponed one week until January 12, in the board rooms, with Everett Biggs, To- ronto, as guest speaker, as the first week is Marketing Confer- ence Week in Guelph. Robert Taylor and Mrs. George Clifton were appointed by the county to attend the Guelph meet- ing. Mel Tebbutt, Ontario presi- dent, and Gordon Hill, past presi- dent, will be on panel debates. The Local was asked to get prices on fertilizer. Varna and Holmes - vile Locals will be invited to the next meeting of the Seaforth Lo- cal on January 18, in the Town Hall. A letter of thanks will be sent the Town Council in apprecia- tion of meeting accommodation. r i iwrwrwlrv,}r•.•r;r}rwl,;rr✓•- HOLIDAY DANCING To -- CLARENCE PETRIE and HIS NIGHT HAWKS Friday, December 23rd Crystal Palace, MITCHELL Saturday, December 24th Canadian Legion, EXETER Sun.
