John, now you need pigeon traps. If a set of electric Barnabies is out of the question, I have a set of real old manual traps from the old Hegins range in PA. Linda wants them out of the garage, so they are for sale. You can pick them up at the Vintagers.

Great suggestion by Eightbore on the pigeon traps. If that doesn’t work out a ZZ Bird ring would be good.

For low budget shooting with trap guns, "stick birds" are a real challenge.

Wayne Erskine (from Shennendale) used to come to PSC years ago for the skeet shoots and would bring his “stickbird” contraption . I never woulda thought a man could throw a bird straight away from me and not be able to scratch it down with two shots , but that almost six foot long thing he had would wing the heck out of them . This was before using a golf club handle and shaft . His contraption was hickory or ash with a big metal plate and spring for the target .

I still have my bird sticks but haven't used them for a while. I kind of quit after sending a clay target through the side of a camper that was parked a bit too close to the field.
