And visible pieces DON'T COUNT

In the ring or it's LOSS, bring me four!



$1130.00 each day for the first two and $1330.00 for the big day.

And you don't get to pick your bank.

 

Where at? Let's go!!!! I can be ready in 30 minutes.

 

Those shoots are where you see "Cajones" and high grade testosterone (unless your a lady) all over the place, not like modern day trap, skeet of some Sporting Clays ... Put up or shut up, nothing in between ... I always wanted to give it a shot, always came to my senses before signing up ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

I made the mistake of shooting flyers after I had read about them being part of trapshooting history and got hooked. Can't afford to travel all over and do it all the time, that is why I shoot trap, but when I can, I do it. Every shooter should have it be part of their life list. AND, if you listen to the "BIG DOGS", when they tell stories, it's about pigeon shoots and card playing.

 

Wow, that's my shooting budget for a couple of years.

 

Looks like Fun.

 

Yup, I got the same invite. With three people in the same family shooting Trap I'll go broke soon enough without going back to live birds. My personal limit was $500 days including a few options. How I miss Pikeville and Jake the puller!

 

I at one time had a Perazzi Live Bird gun when I first started shooting many moons ago ... The thing was a beauty with some major chokes in it, sure glad I sold it and didn't catch that fever which would of been easy to do ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

Every shooter should know where we came from...We came from "live birds". It's an experience that should be experienced.

 

I'd be there if I had the reflexes, eyeballs and mainly the cash flow I used to have. But alas, it's all gone to hell. Loved to shoot at the Dallas Gun Club.

 

And as you get ready for the next bird you hear from the crowd "Hundred bucks--dead bird" and then you hear someone ask for that bet and stretch it to two" with that you think, who is dumb enough to bet on me. Your knees shake a bit and you call, "Trapper ready? What a high! They bet more behind the shooter then he paid to shoot. Boy, I miss those days!

 

And it doesn't matter if the guy that bet the shooter wins or not. The next bird he bets on a miss. As long as there is money laying on the ground between them. THAT is what matters, the action.

The card games are what I always liked. From the $1-$2 game that started at 9:00 am and lasted eleven hours to the big hold em game in the back room that could have 15k in the pot. You gotta love the guys that can bet $1200 on the flop and then see five of them call the bet.

Pigeons and gamblers, the two go hand in hand.
