Are there any shooting sports that offer cash prizes? :?

Skeet and Trap both used to. They also had side games to play that could at times pay back fairly substantial money. I guess they still work the same altho I've not shot competititvely in a long time. In some places at least Sporting Clays does.

I used to pay a pure money game called Cow Pasture Skeet since it originated in a cow pasture. But it was strictly a local game and to the best of my knowledge no one is playing it any longer around here.

Thx. I was beginning to wonder if they ever did or still do. Guess I'll check around.

this brings up pictures in my head of kids with shotguns out in a cow pasture picking up cow chips and tossing them in the air and seeing who could hit them.

My Uncles club still holds "running deer" shoots. I believe for a cash prize. Also, there used to be the old Turkey shoots. Ya pays ya dollar ya get one shot. I dunno what kinda prize money is/was offered but I doubt both were of a "large" substantial amount.

Just up the road from where I live they used to have a turkey shoot that was a pure money event. Entry fee was $5. The guy putting it on took $1 from each shooter of that and the winner got all the rest. Some times as the night wore on they went to $100 per shot winner take all.

Live piegon shoots are always big money games. Usually they are by invite only though.

If it is a game sombody is going to figger a wager, sooner or later.
I play golf, and have for years, This question brought back a flood of memories of the games we have played and the bets made--sum of em when we was, let's say, under the influence.
