Turkey Shoot Data Given AJAX -- The Christmas turkey shoot has brought forth inquiries regarding the method used in de- termining the winners. The larg- est element in deciding this shoot is luck. Bingo cards are used as tar- gets, The contestant cannot see the numbers as the card is placed with the numbers to the wall, Shots, registering within a square count up by the number printed. Additional scores are added if a shot cuts through a dividing line when both numbers are counted. If a shot penetrates an intersection of four squares, all four numbers are counted. So it is all a matter of luck, no skill is required unless one counts the ability to hit a bingo card at the range as skill. In the last shoot off, Earl Pominville and Les Bond were tied with 239 each. In the next shot to break the tie, Pominville won out by one point. This method eliminates the top marksmen from taking all the wrkeys and gives everyone a chance. The Ajax club has broadened its scope by joining Canadian Civil- ian Association of Marksmen and the Metro Sporting Rifle Assn., in doing so club members will have an opportunity to widen their ac- quaintanceship with other al- lied intersets, exchange ideas, and arrange for interclub compe- tions. It is the function of executive cfficer Larry Huot to represent the club with these and other or- ganizations and arrange meetings and competitions, Pickering H.S.
