That is the kind of Turkey Shoot I grew up with. At the fire station the turkey shooter would pay $2 and get in a line of other shooters, 25 in all, and shoot 25 yards at a paper dinner plate stapled to a board. Somewhere "near" the center was a pence X mark that isn't viable to the shooter. After the shot the plates were taken to a table and the plate with a "BB" nearest the X mark wins a turkey.
These shoots are fun because a 10 year old has as much chance of winning as the local top trap shot. Everyone has fun, eats some good food, chats with friends and neighbors and everyone has a chance at a turkey. Around here the top shot goes home with a car load and my best chance at winning a turkey is buying a door raffle ticket.
Naturally, somebody figures out how to get an unfair advantage even shooting X marks on a plate by playing with the shot in his shells. So now for the $2 you get a "known" shell handed to you at the shooting line that must be used to win.
