Good post, DGM. My suggestion would be that a trap or two be set up for a long bird competition. Many of the big registered shoots have them now, and they are great fun. I dearly love seeing those long birds break with those tight chokes.
Yes, long birds can be great fun. The Great Northeast at Hausmans Hidden Hollow included a "Bo Whoop" long bird competition sponsored by the Fox Collectors, along with several other shooting games. I believe the Fall Southern at Backwoods Quail Club may have included a long bird among its shooting games as well. The Orvis Cup at Sandannona has included one as a fundraiser with nice prizes.
