The annual shoot supports the Kosciusko County Shrine Club. The organization, celebrating 76 years, is best known for the annual trip for third-graders to the Shrine Circus, the release states.

The turkey shoot is a way for the community to support the Kosciusko County Shrine Club. The public is welcome. Bring the family for food, fellowship and plain old Indiana fall fun to support the Shrine, the release states.
Shoot a paper target, bring your own gun or the Shrine Club can provide one, and shells are provided. Shoot for Maple Leaf Farms Duck, Serenade Foods Chicken, Walmart turkeys or cash. Children, age 14 and under can shoot a .410 to win a .410 provided by Hunting and Tactical Solution of North Webster.
