The annual Turkey Shoot was held August 17 – 20 at the NWTF’s Palmetto Shooting Complex.

“Winning the Turkey Shoot has long been a goal of mine and is another milestone in my shooting career,” said Higgins. “I’ve been shooting Sporting Clays for over 12 years, winning numerous state, regional and national titles and this win ranks right up there with all of those.
