Castle Lake Ranch VFD Turkey Shoot nears

The annual Castle Lake Ranch VFD fundraising Turkey Shoot will be Saturday, Nov. 2, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., rain or shine. The annual event, located at the station house - four miles off Hwy 16 S. at 3801 Bear Creek Road in Pipe Creek - is nearing its 40th year and averages about 300 participating shooters.
​Again this year, the Bandera 4H Shotgun Team will partner with CLRVFD to make this event a success. 
If you are not familiar with a Turkey Shoot, it is a competition where shooters compete with shotguns to get one shot closest to a small “+” in the middle of their individual target. The winning shooter wins a frozen turkey.
Each round can accommodate 15 shooters and the event will see competitors shoot up to 60 rounds.
Everyone is welcome to participate, include seasoned sportsmen, women and youth.
Guns are limited to 12, 16, 20 and 410 gauge shotguns and all ammo will be provided.
The shoot is the main fundraiser for the VFD, providing annual operating funds as well as helping fill in the gaps to equip and update trucks and equipment and training that grants dont cover.
The station has a new 2,100-gallon tender truck (water tanker) that was obtained through a 90-percent grant, but it is up to the VFD to cover the other 10 percent that is left.
Another grant of $6,500 was given to help finish outfitting the new truck that is getting lettered on Friday and will be on display at the shoot.
