The event is sponsored by the Mancos Valley Historical Society, and proceeds will go toward raising funds for a new historical museum.

Only 12-gauge shotguns can be used. Shotgun shells are provided and the fee is $10 per shot with nine shooters competing in each round. All shooters are welcome but minors must be accompanied by an adult.

The top prize for each round of shooters is a free turkey for P&D Grocery. Breakfast rolls and other homemade items will be offered, as well as coffee and hot chocolate.

The historical society anticipates that the new museum may open with a year. It will be located in the former Mancos Fire District building in Mancos.

The Dolores State Bank is the corporate sponsor for the event.
