Default Pigeon Ring at Yooper

If you have never seen a modern Pigeon Ring I hope these few shots will convey what this fast moving shoot it is all about.
1. Shooters call for the bird which is thrown with up to a 3 second delay
2. The trap is in a pit and unseen by the shooters
3. The trap rotates 360 degrees
4. The shooter has no idea if the bird will be a high loaping "in your face" target or a going directly away screamer! Then there are those left and right long range skeet targets
5. The trap is about 27 yards from the shooter
6. There is a orange ribbon taped inside each bird
7. After the bird is broken the orange ribbon must fall within the appoximately 35 yard wide and 45 yard long fenced "ring"

Now, let's have some fun!

Editors note: These photos will be replaced by the same in a larger format.

The trap rotates in that 10' wide hole unseen by the shooters! That small orange thing is a ribbon falling inside the ring!


Look close and you will see an orange ribbon taped inside a clay pigeon

Now, it that orange ribbon will land in the ring. The wind would often blow a ribbon out or even into the ring!

Read the scores and weep!
