As we know, one man's St. Louis 3s are another man's Sparks Philadelphia Shot Tower 4s...erected 1808, one of the first and the oldest still standing...along I-95 in South Philly

I see five levels where there are windows that would allow a multicolumn Superstar trap to be installed. Maybe we could get Federal assistance to bring new life to a historic building and have a great sporting clays tower in the bargain. Are any existing shot towers out in the country? Baltimore and Philadelphia are out of the running unfortunately.

The Sparks Shot Tower is now the centerpiece of a city park. Sparks went out of business in 1913 I think...

Bill and Don,The Remington Arms shot tower in Bridgeport,CT is still proudly standing in the skyline of the city.It is clearly visable from I-95 and I can almost see it from my house. I just love looking at that great old building!
