I posted this pic in a response in a GD thread, but wanted to share it here. The unwashed masses over there will likely not appreciate it.
I competed in a pigeon shoot yesterday. This is the lineup of competitors' guns when we got to the 35 yard final. We had a 30 bird race, and then a "best of" 10 bird shootoff.

That's an awful lot of money on top of what I assume to be a very cheap collapsible table.

Has anyone ever done a tower shoot with live birds?
I highly suggest you go if you get the chance. |

You boys just keep that to secret info to yourself...I don't need (can't afford) another shooting sport to get addicted to...or the need for another nice gun with which to shoot it. Trap = trophies no money. Sporting no money on the shoots just the side games. Skeet pays good but you give it all back in travel and hotels. |

Very nice! I do not own one or ever had one or ever will have one. But there is something about those really nice, really expensive shotguns. I love them

Here the thing. From what I hear you can actually make money at this. But Bud would know better. Trap = trophies no money. Sporting no money on the shoots just the side games. Skeet pays good but you give it all back in travel and hotels. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Most pigeon shoots are $10 per bird; that does not include side bets. A typical race is 30 birds per shooter. There can be several races at a shoot. I won some money last weekend, but not enough to pay all of my fees. You can, however, make some serious money at the bigger shoots. A buddy of mine shot in a big shoot a few weeks ago and spent $2500 in fees and side bets. He went home empty handed. The guy who won HOA took home $20k. I have seen Calcutta purses go north of $50k. |
