Fox Collectors

For the shooting sports collector. Scroll down and look at the "Pigeon Starter". I wonder if they had one at the Grand American.

Spyder,

Thanks for that submission.....very interesting! I especially enjoyed the article as this collection is less than an hour from where I live. I would like to get out there sometime.

Various designs of pigeon trap have been invented over the years that partially or fully eliminate the need for a "pigeon starter". However, according to a friend who knows, pigeons are still "started" at shoots in Argentina and probably other parts of the world where Barnaby traps are less available than they are here. In Argentina, projectiles resembling bocce balls are rolled toward the pigeon to get them moving.
