pigeon shooting

Fowl marksmanship sport

Pigeon shooting is the sport of shooting pigeons, either live birds released from traps or clay discs launched into the air to simulate bird flight.

The live-bird version, once common at country estates and shooting clubs, has largely been replaced by clay pigeon shooting due to animal welfare concerns.

We spent Saturday morning at the club doing some pigeon shooting.
