Unfortunally our club here in North Carolina stopped doing the ZZ Birds. They were a lot of fun. We first had what was called American ZZ where the propeller was metal and the cap was plastic. The propeller could be used multiple times with out replacing. The best thing about that was after being shot so many times the propeller would get bent and would make it fly more eractic just like a real bird.
The company went out of buisness and the club modified their machines to take the newer plastic targets. That resulted in a price increase from a $1 a bird to $3 a bird.
I used a Perazzi SC3 or a 32" Winchester 21 with IMOD and Full chokes and shot AA
7 1/2 shot or in cometition B&P Pigeon loads or at the time they offered Helice loads of 1 1/4 ounce.
Never got real good at this game but it was super fun. A lot of Pigeon shooters would show up.They said the big difference was real pigeons get out of the box slow and pick up speed by the time they get to the fence where ZZ's take off fast and would loose speed by the time they reached the fence.
