Sharpshooters can win a turkey, or even a Smithfield ham, at the Indian River Ruritan Club's annual turkey shoot going on now in Chesapeake in a large field at 1805 N. Battlefield Boulevard next to Merchant's Tire.
The shoot, open every Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., has been operating since October and will run through Dec. 17. For $2, marksmen can compete to win a 10- to 11-pound frozen turkey.
Whoever gets a bead of shot closest to the center of the X on the target wins the bird. Five dollars buys a chance to compete for a Smithfield ham. Each participant also gets to enter a raffle to be drawn on the weekend of Dec. 10 with prizes such as turkeys, hams and gift certificates to area restaurants. ILLUSTRATION: Staff photos by D.
