The Drumheller Trap Club continued a Thanksgiving tradition with its annual turkey shoot.
Trap shooters were at Dutton’s Farm, just outside of Drumheller on Highway 9 to participate in the yearly event for fun and to wrap up the club’s season.
John Dooley, centre, takes aim participating in the annual Drumheller Trap Shooters’ Turkey Shoot last Sunday. A healthy crowd took aim and their chances on bringing home Thanksgiving dinner.
Tom Dooley is a long-standing member. He said shooters from Drumheller come out for the event as well as participants from as far away as Calgary. The club also often has participants from the Hussar trap club come. In fact, some shooters are members in Drumheller and Hussar.
The club has a modest membership and typically a good number comes out for their weekly Wednesday night shoots. The club recently purchased a state of the art clay pigeon thrower for its facility.
Dooley said the club would like to grow its ranks. Currently there are members of the same family and a few female shooters. There is a healthy variety of ages on the range. The club welcomes anyone who wants to come out and try the sport.
