What Is a Turkey Shoot? What is a Turkey Shoot? Our turkey shoot is a casual, fun & family-oriented contest in which meat prizes are awarded. In our shoot we use 12-gauge, 16- gauge, 20-gauge, 28-gauge and .410 caliber shotguns. The paper targets and ammunition is supplied by the club for a small donation ($2 shot) for each round (birdshot). The turkey shoot will be either a 5 round or a 10 round shot depending on the vote of the contestants. Each contestant is assigned a shooting line number, and each starting line number corresponds to a numbered target frame 27 yards away. There is only 1 shot allowed per round and per target, after each contestant has shot a round. The targets will be retrieved and reviewed and the winner of the round will be announced. Each round will continue in the same manner until all rounds are completed. The criteria for winning around is to get as many holes as you can closer to the bullseye than any other contestant to win a round. A winner will be announced for each round completed. At the end of the turkey shoot; all the winners will be announced and prizes will be awarded. Do I need any equipment to participate in a turkey shoot? No, you don’t need to purchase a rifle and ammo. We supply the ammunition for a small donation for each round. Use of your own ammunition is not permitted. The donation is usually $10 for 5 rounds or $20 for 10 rounds. We are a friendly organization and most people will generally allow use of their shotguns for the event. Do I need to be a member to participate in the turkey shoots? No, you do not have to be a member to participate in this event. This public event is fun for the whole family. Do you shoot real turkeys in the turkey shoots? No, we shoot at paper targets mounted in a metal frame. What is a recommended shotgun to use for this event? We recommend a smaller caliber shotgun for beginners and young adults such as the 16-gauge, 20-gauge or .410 caliber as they don’t have much recoil as a 12-gauge or 10- gauge. But the most popular shotgun used for the turkey shoot at our club is the 12- gauge and 20-gauge. Keep in mind that a non-choked shot gun can win just as easily as a shotgun with a choke and optics…etc. .

  • Bullet Caliber and Type Categorization from Gunshot Wounds in Sus Scrofa (Linnaeus) Long Bone
    J Forensic Sci,2019 doi: 10.1111/1556-4029.14004 TECHNICAL NOTE Available online at: onlinelibrary.wiley.com ANTHROPOLOGY Bailey J. Henwood,1 B.Sc. (Hons); Tracy S. Oost,1 B.Sc. (Hons); and Scott I. Fairgrieve ,1 Ph.D. Bullet Caliber and Type Categorization from Gunshot Wounds in Sus Scrofa (Linnaeus) Long Bone ABSTRACT: Studies on ballistic trauma to the ribs and thorax, cranium, and long bones demonstrate the potential of obtaining a bullet cal- iber from an entrance wound. In order to validate prior research on caliber estimation in bone tissue and assess the viability of bullet type deter- mination based on the macroscopic evidence at the entrance wound, thirty fleshed pork (Sus scrofa) shoulders (humeri) were shot with either lead or copper jacketed bullets in one of three calibers; 0.22, 9 mm, or 0.38. Overall, our findings are consistent with previous research indicat- ing that calibers can be grouped into “small” and “large” categories. Bullet type, lead or copper jacket, can be ascertained based on cortical flaking and the analysis of materials deposited around the entry wound. The addition of this evidence holds value in cases where no firearm or ballistic evidence is recovered from a crime scene. KEYWORDS: forensic science, forensic anthropology, ballistics, gunshot wound, bullet caliber, bullet type Evidence of ballistic trauma to the ribs and thorax (1,2), cra- is the potential deposit of lead or copper to the bone from the nium (3–5), and long bones (6,7) can yield important investiga- bullet upon impact. Entry wounds were examined to determine tive information.

  • Colt Model 1911 Caliber .455 Weblev Converted to .45
    ColtModel 1911 Caliber .455 Weblev Convertedto .45ACP Byj CaptainLior Nedivi, lsrael NationalPolice HQ, Divisionof Identificationand Forensic Science,Weapons Identification Laboratory. Key Words: mismatchingof ammunition,Colt, ,455Webley Automatic, .45 ACP,fi rearmconversion. Abstract Colt model1911, caliber.455 Webley Automatic, was convertedto caliber .45ACP dueto rarity of originalammunition. This is a caseof "mismatchingof ammunition" where th€ firearm was conv€rtedto fit the ammunition,not vice yersa as commonly performed. This firearm conversionled to the changeof familyand individualcharacteristics on thebullets and cartridge cases. The phenomenaof "mismatchingof arnmunition" has been describedby Hatcher, Jury ard Weller,in their book Firearm Investigation,Identification and Evidence(pp 311-315),but more in the contextof physicallychanging the ammunitionto fit the firearm. The most common tlpe of "mismatchingof arxnunition",according to Hatcheret al. and casesreceived by our laboratory, is where the bullet caliber is the samebut the cartridgecase is wrong. The substitute cartridgecase is simplyloaded and fred. Othert)pes of mismatchingis doneby simpiyfiling or grindingoffrims ofrevolver amrnunitionso it will functionin an automaticpistol. Still another,a bit ofcopperwire or evena paperclip couldbe usedon rimlesscartridge cases to achievea rim for usein revolvers;a muchbetter method than having to elevatethe barreito aid in fuing pin pressure to the prirner.The list is long.This articlegives an exampleof'lnismatching of ammunition"by convertng a firea.m to fit ammunitionof a different caliber and to the best of our knowledgeit is the fust timethis kind ofconversionis reported. Our firearmslaboratory received a Colt Model 1911,semi automaticpistol, chamberedfor caliber.455 WebleyAutol'natic amrnunition for examination;a caseof illegal possession.See photograph1. Thesepistols were made in smallquantities, mainly for the Britishmarket.

    7mm REMINGTON MAGNUM ° After refusing for years 25 to produce a metric mag- .532 .513 .491 .315 .284 num, the pressure in the 13.51mm 13.03mm 12.47mm 8.00mm 7.213mm American market became .271 so great that Remington .220 (5.58mm) 6.88mm 2.040 (51.81mm) introduced the 7mm 2.500 (63.50mm) Remington Magnum in 3.290 (83.56mm) 1962 along with the new, improved Model 700 bolt action rifle. The 7mm Remington is essentially the .338 Winchester case necked down to 7mm. It is a fine long-range, big game cartridge that can also be used for varmint hunting. With a wide variety of bullets available, the handloader can utilize this cartridge for any game in North America and most thin-skinned varieties of African game as well. With bullet weights of 150 grains or less, Accurate 4350 and 3100 propellants are recommended. With bullet weights of 160 grains and heavier, Accurate 8700 is the best choice.
