Annual Sandhills Blast & Cast Turkey Shoot
New Sponsorship Opportunities for Turkey shoot Fans!
Test your shotgun skills and experience a good old fashioned traditional Southern Turkey Shoot. If you are from the south or have lived here a bit, you probably are well versed in what a “Turkey Shoot” is. For you newcomers, be prepared for an evening of fun and camaraderie – and by the way, we don’t shoot turkeys here!
This competitive sport offers instant gratification for winning marksmen aiming to “make some bacon” with skill and a shotgun. Hams, sausage, bacon, steaks, ribs, chicken and pork chops are the prizes until the week before Thanksgiving when frozen turkeys are the prize. The target is 35 yards from the shooter, and each may bring his own shotgun or use one provided by the organization. Closest to the center of the target wins!
From first timers to seasoned regulars, any age can shoot, but children under 12 MUST be accompanied by an adult. The cost to compete varies per round- sign up when you arrive! Sandhills Blast & Cast Ministries is proud to make this a safe, clean family event and enforces a no profanity and no alcohol permitted policy.
The annual Sandhills Blast & Cast Turkey shoot takes advantage of the nice Carolina fall evenings at Thurlows lake in Carthage, starting at 7pm the Saturday in September of the Blast & Cast event and every Saturday evening through Mid November. (Actual dates are listed on the home page.) The night’s competition ends when everyone has had their chance- so be ready to hang out and go for the prize!
