Usually a turkey shoot is a contest where folks shoot at a target and the one closest to the bullseye wins a free turkey for Thanksgiving, or a coupon for a free turkey to pick up at the grocery store.
But as with most things, it is done a little differently here in Key West.
Our "Turkey Shoot" begins at 1 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, where everyone gets to flip the bird by firing a turkey out of an air cannon, off the Sunset Pier and into the ocean.
Like angels from heaven, these birds will be flying on a wing and a prayer... to hit the target, that is.
Accuracy is the key, as the highest scores will win great prizes. There will be a men's, women's, and kids' division. This is a FREE event.
