Todd, you can laugh all the way to the bank with that red headed step-child! I shoot a VHE 30" barrels that fits me like a glove for ZZ-birds. My VHE isn't highly modified but has a poorly done case color job so collector value in terrible. When I walk out to the line with that old Parker I get more then a few raised eyebrows and a few chuckles. The bystanders change their tune when they witness just how effective that old girl in on those plastic flying bandits .

Christopher, I wish I had picked up on ZZs way back when! It's grown into a pretty serious discipline!
Doesn't pay as well as pigeons, (yet) but you can shoot to your hearts content, and all you're killing is your wallet.
;-)

BTW, here is some footage of a good friend of mine, a Master Class shooter, showing what it looks like to run all 5 with one shot ea.
He makes good money at this and pigeons.

Note the classic country coming from the background, and the sounds of motocross racing coming from the foreground

ZZ Bird is a lot of fun. Definitely easier on the wallet than box birds! Live birds is where the $$ is. Cost a LOT, but if you have a good day you can take home a wad of cash.

Wonderful purposed modified gun. Would love to hear more of its history. Was it used at the International Flyer Championship at Kansas City 1917 to 1941?

Would like to see some more pics of that Moneymaker rib if you have a chance.
