KOSCIUSKO — The 20th Annual Shrine Turkey Shoot will be held from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Oct. 14 and 15, at Beeson’s Gun Range, 8994 West CR 25S, Etna Green. Over the years, thousands of local sportsmen and their families have supported the Kosciusko County Shrine Club in raising thousands of dollars to support our multiple missions for Kosciusko County.

The annual shoot is to support the Kosciusko County Shrine Club. The Kosciusko County Shrine Club, celebrating 78 years, is best known for the annual trip for third graders to the Shrine Circus.  In addition, the club supports many other local and national philanthropic organizations and firmly realizes “no man stands so tall as when he stoops to help a child.” The Turkey Shoot is a way for the community to support the local Kosciusko County Shrine Club. The public is welcome. Bring the family for food, fellowship and plain old Indiana fall fun to support the Shrine.

Shoot a paper target, bring your own gun or we can provide one, shells are provided. Shoot for Maple Leaf Farms Duck, Serenade Foods Chicken, Wal- Mart Turkeys or cash. Children, age 14 and under, shoot a .410 to win a .410 provided by Brett Anderson and Family.
