The public shooting of live birds was pretty much a thing of the past by 1900.

The 1901 Grand American Handicap at Live Birds was shot at Interstate Park on Long Island, 1-6 April. After New York "passed that silly law" it was moved to Kansas City for 1902, and had the largest attendance ever with over 400 participants. The International Flyer Championship was shot at Kansas City every year from 1917 to 1941.
