My dad shot columbaire birds in Mexico when Remington held a board meeting there. The bird boys were instructed to release the birds easily, because the board members where not good shooters. My dad killed the first several birds (lucky!) and the bird boy was angry - They all want to throw "no Hitters". My dad's birds got a lot more difficult

I would love to try Columbaire.

There's a great story about shooting them in Bob Brister's wonderful old book "Moss, Mallards and Mules".

I do better at Colombaire than I do at boxbirds ! I read that same story over forty years ago . That’s what got me started on wanting to go in the ring .
