There are 10 bunkers or stands surrounding the tower used to flight the birds.Each bunker has 2 shooters.Between each bunker is a guide/handler that has from 2 to 3 dogs.
They get a real workout on this shoot but have a smile on their face. We shot 5 bunkers ,broke for a venison stew lunch and shot 5 remaining bunkers that afternoon.AM shoot was odd or even..reversed in the afternoon.Every shooter shot each bunker.Dogs were Spaniels and Labs mostly,they had more fun than anyone. Ten mile shooting preserve has a web. |

Bill,
Texas to New York. Quite a trip but worth it for all that shooting. Who are the people in your photo's? Glad you had a good time but 2400 birds is over the top. The ones I regularly attend throw 500 birds and I thought that was alot. Whew! Daryl |
