Turkeyshoot, the Real Story
We've been in contact with Mark Wenham, the man behind the Turkeyshoot all these years, and he wants to set the record straight on the 2008 Turkeyshoot location. Wenham says he had been in discussions with Golden Goal about holding the Turkeyshoot there, but Golden Goal placed their ad in Inside Lacrosse before any final agreement was reached. The Turkeyshoot will NOT be held at Golden Goal.
The annual tournament IS on the move, however. The 2008 Turkeyshoot will be held on the outdoor fields at Rochester's Total Sports Experience.
The Turkeyshoot website has been updated to reflect this change and other details regarding this long-running central New York lacrosse tournament.
