I have this pigeon decoy that was made and gifted to me by a chum; barn pigeon shooting is great fun although no money is involved (except for the occasional side bet of course!
 ). Story goes that this little fooler was shot over by some pretty well-known gunners...

I've shot flyers and I've shot barn pigeons and I've shot pigeons that responded to a crow call. But I killed more pigeons at one time with a broom stick than I ever did with a gun. That's another story for another time, I guess.

The only mulligan I ever had was a stew at Boy Scout Camp. Is that what they were supposedly serving at Philly?

Craig will attest that, at our club in West Virginia, ties are also worn. When a shooter finishes his five birds at the post, he passes the tie to the next shooter.

It's fun to read that again, it has been ages.
I refer to this series of shoots as the times I beat the Georgia State Champion three out of five matches as we shot pigeons again the next year and I emerged victorious. DLH aka Bogardus

The other day I missed my first four out of five! It was pituful, I shoulda been embarrased, but I was having too much fun. DLH
