"Grassed" was a popular term for cleanly killing a bird

Yes that would be another excellent way to put it.

A six man shoot-off, from back in the day. Location, somewhere in Mexico.

I was in the shoot-off, and the Calcutta. Got to be in a shoot-off with some great shooters, and won some serious money that day.

Nice shooting Todd. Dan Bonillas was one of the top trap and live bird shooters at the time. Hitting the calcutta was just icing on the cake. You were'nt shooting a Parker were you?

No, Perazzi SC3. I have shot a lot of birds with various Parkers, but my competition guns have all been Italian.
The exception was one year that I shot everything with a G Grade pigeon gun, that I paid way too much money for.
I have been out of the bird game for about 5 years. I hunt almost exclusively with Parkers these days, btw.

A side note; as good as Dan Bonillas was/is, Troy Scotten was the guy to beat at pigeons.
He is probably one of the finest pigeon shooters of our time.

Some day I will have to give live birds a try if for no other reason than just to say I did it.

Rich,

Let's just go to an Amish market and buy a few dozen pigeons!
