Walpole Sportsman’s Association
17 th Annual Combat Pistol League Turkey Shoot
Saturday, November 17 th , 2018
10:00AM to 3:00PM, Rain or Shine, Public invited (bring your friends!)
Entry Fee: $15.00, time permitting, you may re-shoot the entire course of fire a second time
(re-entry) for $8.00. Exact change is appreciated. All entries are eligible for the prizes.
Prizes will be awarded on a modified Lewis basis; any ties will be settled by shoot off. If a
shooter is not present for their shoot off, they will automatically forfeit.
The course of fire will consist of two stages; shooters will fire each stage twice, your final
score is the total of all four of your stage scores.
Shooting will be in the order that entrants sign up, re-entries are added to the end of the list
(the back of the line, so to speak).
Minimum pistol caliber: 9mm, minimum revolver caliber: .38 Special.
Extra magazines / speedloaders are required, the largest (minimum) number of shots with
a handgun in single stage is 13 – this means a minimum of 2 reloads with a 6-shot revolver.
The use of a holster is optional (but encouraged); but for safety reasons, no cross-draw or
shoulder holsters will be permitted.
The program for this year’s Turkey shoot will be similar to the Ham shoot this past spring.
We will again be featuring a Three-Gun stage (shotgun, pistol, and rifle). In addition to your
handgun, you’ll need a rifle (center fire or rimfire) and a shotgun. We recommend a 12 Ga.
shotgun; either a pump or semi-automatic, capable of holding 5 rounds. A side-by-side or
over & under shotgun will work, but you’ll need to do at least a couple of reloads. Either 12
Ga. target or pheasant loads will be adequate for the course of fire, the use of buckshot will
be allowed (for those of you that enjoy recoil and noise), but NO slugs will be permitted.
An AR-15 rifle and a Mossberg 500 pump shotgun will be available for use by those who
don’t bring their own long guns; but please bring your own ammunition if you’re planning on
using a “loaner”.
Time permitting, a 50/50 event ($5.00 entry fee per shooter) will also be held. This fall’s
50/50 will be a “moving target” event – 6 shots with a pistol, from the standing position, at 2
moving IDPA targets, Scoring will be time + 0.5 second penalty per point - 3 hits per target,
using scoring rings on target) – low score wins / ties split.
EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION ARE MANDATORY.
SAFETY VIOLATIONS WILL RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION.
