P.S. to Kerryman:
You've never shot in a real "live pigeon match". Anybody that says a feral pigeon driving straight out of the box sizzling along 2 feet off the ground headed for the fence isn't a tough target has obviously never done it. A pheasant flushed from cover at reasonable range doesn't even begin to compare. A high curling driven bird is tough for certain but a completely different kind of shooting as it's usually at longer range and you see it coming hence are able to get ready. The pigeons spring from random traps (either five or seven in number) and you've got to get them killed before they get over the boundary which is about 35 yards. It's quick, almost snap shooting, and very tough when you've got good birds.
