Interesting that a statement was made that live bird shooting was dead by 1900. Later in the thread a 1910 shoot was described. Also interesting that my grandfather did not close his bird ring in Hazleton until 1927, two years before his death. I am still shooting the barrels from Captain Money's 1897 CH grade pigeon gun. However, they are now mounted on a later DH grade gun, but still active.

The last Interstate Association GAH at Live Birds was in KC at Elliott's Blue River Park in 1902
