A turkey shoot. According to the post's Centennial Celebration page, Baldwin American Legion Post 99 began holding Turkey Shoots in the 1950s where the contestants shoot at individual targets.

The object was and is to get a shot to hit the crosshairs in the center of the target or get as close a possible to become the winner. This is a fundraiser for the post and the Sons of The American Legion in current days. One shoot = 10 contestants competing for a prize, usually meat (hams, steaks, chops, frozen turkey, Boston butts, etc.). The cost when it began was $2 for each shoot. The value of the winner's prize was and is still in the $10 to $15 range. Current shoot entry fee is $3 per shot.

When it began, Post 99 furnished the ammunition, which is primarily 12 GA with 1-1/8 oz or No. 8 shot. The post had at the beginning ammunition in 12, 16 and 20 GA shells. Today, Squadron 99 provides ammunition, 12 GA, with 1-1/8 oz or No. 8 shot to ensure each shooter has the same type and load of ammunition. The shooter brings his own shotgun. If he or she does not have a shotgun, they are allowed to use any one that is in the rack. When it began, the shooting range had 10 individual shooting stations. That was reduced to one due to modifications made in the 1990s to the post parking lot. A new target pit with back top was constructed, surrounded by logs or poles on three sides. Provisions were made to hang two (2) targets in the pit in an alternating fashion. The distance then and now from the shooter to the target is 100 feet.

“The turkey shoots are an ongoing activity at Post 99. They normally run from October through April the following year. The shoot is open to everyone who wants to participate, whether they own a shotgun or not.”
