You know I totally forgot about it but your story reminded me that I went to a Turkey shoot in the early 2000s on a whim, and not really knowing what to expect.
It was primarily a pistol shoot, and I won a turkey with a handgun but they had a side match/rifle category that I did not know about but I had my Mountie with me, as my friends and I were figuring we would shoot some Jacks either on the way to or from the shoot (I can't recall now). Long story short, I won another turkey with that little Marlin Mountie. I totally forgot about that until now.
