Well the Tun Tavern is still closed due to power issues, we will update you here and on our Facebook page when power is restored and things are up and running again.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all that were effected by this storm and are still without power.
August 13, 2026
With the storms that recently rolled through we do not have power at the club building, as such we will be closed until further notice. This Monday August 17, 2026 was slated to be our monthly membership meeting but more than that our annual summer picnic and we unfortunately need to cancel. With not knowing when we will get power restored we cannot efficiently plan for and stock for a picnic for Monday.
We will post if this changes but we are closed until at least the 20th unless power is restored, thank you for your understanding.

Welcome to SPRING!
On March 28th we will be having our first Turkey…..I mean…..BUNNY Shoot of the year (It’s exactly the same thing as a turkey shoot).
If you’re interested SHOW UP, that’s all that needs to be done. Start showing up around 11:30am for a Noon start to the friendly competition.
Don’t have a weapon to bring? That’s fine too, our friendly sportsman have been known to let others use their firearms if needed.
HECK, you don’t even need ammo! That’s provided with your paid fees that day. Seriously though, don’t bring ammo, yours will not be permitted around the competition.
You will need CASH for your shooting fees.
The Competition consists of seven rounds (one shot each) per person at a target, not real live animals, and whoever gets a BB closest to the center crosshairs WINS!
This is actually where the animals come in, you will win a prize of some sort of meat you choose and order it from the coordinator. What is available to order rotates and we only know that day, sometimes it is there that day and sometimes it is an actual order. But I can tell you that the meat comes from the incomparable Rob’s Meat Chop & Deli in Dyer Indiana.
Why is it called a Turkey Shoot?, I’m glad you asked…and some additional details within (click that little carrot to the left to expand).
Traditionally, or back in the day, however you want to say it the prize would be a frozen Turkey to the Winner. Hence the name a “Turkey Shoot”, there have been many iterations, for us at least: Turkey, Ham, Bacon, Pork Chops, Ribs, Etc….you get the idea.
For us these days the name of the game is: You’re prize it worth a specific dollar value, the cut of meat you win/choose is based on that dollar amount. So if you choose a higher dollar cut you might get a little less than a lower value cut.
Did I mention we will have food specials that day so bring your appetite as well:
Come, hang out, I promise we’re a friendly group of people.

If you have been to one of our Superbowl parties in the past you know that it is a great day at the club and usually crowded! For the first time ever we decided to sell “reservations” for seats that cost $5 a person and when you show up you’ll get a drink ticket worth $5 if you reserved good for that day only.
This does NOT mean that this is a private event, this just means that we are trying to gauge the amount of people to expect that day. Here are some FACTS about this Superbowl Sunday:
- The bar seating is first come first server, get there early if you want a seat at the bar!
- The club opens at NOON on Superbowl Sunday
- If you reserved a seat your reservation is good till: 5:30 (Kickoff), if you are not there by kickoff your seat may be given to someone that needs to and your reservation fee is NON-REFUNDABLE
- THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
- There might be standing room only, but come on out if you’d like!!
- We have a heated smoking room where the game will also be on.
RESERVATIONS ARE SOLD OUT!
But you might still have a chance to watch the game. Please check the website and our Facebook posts (which also appear below, no Facebook required) OFTEN this has been posted about for quite awhile.
As a member of the club it is YOUR responsibility to keep up on what is going on. Attend meetings, show up at the club, we love to see everyone and make this a great place to hang out. There is no “no one told me”, be active and you will know…we’re not big on hand holding around here.
