Still Target Championships
October 3-4, 2008
Wild Turkey Center
Edgefield, S.C.
Top shooters from around the world will converge at the NWTF's headquarters to prove who is the best at still-target shooting. Still-target shooting simulates turkey hunters shooting a wild turkey gobbler at 40 yards. Winners are determined by the number of pellets a shooter is able to put in a 3-inch circle in the kill zone of a gobbler's head on a paper target.
NWTF World Wild Turkey Still Target Championships will be held in Edgefield, S.C., at the world class Wild Turkey Center. Hotel reservations may be made at the Edgefield Inn by calling (803) 637-2001 by Sept. 15. For more information regarding the Still Target competition, call (800) THE-NWTF.
