I agree that crop protection is important and enjoy going out shooting, and all the pigeons that get shot by me are used, for eating or pet food, but this is disgraceful, this is just not sporting, they hardly get off the ground...bad show, i'm glad i'm British

 

for god sake alot of the shots are just winging them!!!

Could not watch more than a couple of minutes of this video the sport of pigeon shooting certainly can do with out those kind of people. They should be shot them self s and if any 1 was to shoot like them they would still be alive but suffering it has made me sick to my stomach.

I watched it and didn't really get the point of it. It seemed like a notch up from shooting ducks in a barrel but more difficult to stage - do they rear the birds or trap the birds for release and then being shot 3' off the floor. It just seemed like clay pigeon shooting without the clay, but not as sporting or testing when all the birds are a bit groggy and shot just off the floor.

 

I can see that there is a parallel with game shooting in that quarry is reared and released with the purpose of being shot. That being said in game shooting the birds are free range, have a quality of life and there is an element of sport (well certainly with the amount I miss).

the above link has a voice over.

Now then you may not like this but other than the fact they are bloody awful shots this isn't that far away from other shooting sports, this is in fact how the clay pigeon shooting started, they started shooting live birds before mving to glass then clay targets, birds are raised then driven over guns to shoot, not exactley a world away, now don't get me wrong i thought this pigeon shooting was awfull and would never wish to see it again. But we do plenty of other things in life (not us personally) but what makes this look so bad is their inabillity to actually kill the birds with 1 shot.

Don't worry Lee we know you have sporting morals, and we don't want to tar you with the same brush :blush:

 

Some things i don't agree on in the hunting world...but i still hunt so there you go.

 

You will always see bloated pompas American's spending their money and acting the fool, but thats not how me or my people do things.. Being Southern is a kinder gentler way of life :hmm:
