Wolfgang's plat is the only that I've seen Raimey. I've been working on Monte Carlo pigeon shooting for a long time, and glad to share some of the information. And yes, Steve's thread seemed to be a good starting place. The puller's 'pill-box' next to the walk-way looks to have been replaced some time after the 1920s 2 pill boxes 1 box No box. Possibly the fella under the shade in the middle of the image was the puller

] 1907 Monte Carlo Taubenschiessen Rules. I'm fairly certain the above originated with >>Schuss & Waffe<<?? I'll work on the rules then. So Hause, are you indeed a Pigeon shooter or just a fan of the Sport? Serbus, Raimey rse

Not Monte Carlo, but at least in France. I couldn't find a report. Breeder and Sportsman 9-7-1889

Lásló Graf Szápáry with Stumpy Peckinpah Lumniczer Lásló Graf Szápáry was a member of the Hungarian shooting team, together with Dr. Lumnicer (3x Worldchampion) who recruited him, Shot once 398/400 in Vienna!) & Pista Strassburger & Others. Later Lásló Graf Szápáry was several times (14x) the Austrian champion in clay pigeon shooting. One of the best shooters of his time. There several texts about him & his exploits, about the great time of hunting in Austria and he is described there in great detail. On his Honeymoon went to Monte Carlo with his bride & not money in his pockets. After winning there, he and his new bride spent a wonderful time there best hotel, enjoying the all the creature comforts. The prize money was mighty hefty at the time.... He purchased a pair of 20G Springers when leaving school. Later he acquired a Springer Family Springer 12 Bore, Nr. 2 of a pair. The later bought the Nr. 2 of the pair from another family member. These were his hunting guns for a long time. Serbus, Raimey rse

Raimey, Drew et al;
There is still live pigeon shooting carried on today. I thought it telling and interesting what the famous shooter of the sport, Cyril Adams said to me one day while I was visiting him at his home in Houston. I do not remember his exact words as it was 20 years ago, but we were talking about shooting Helice and Cyril said that Helice was the toughest/most difficult shooting sport of them all including live pigeon shooting.

Indeed there is & invitation only as far as the U.S. of A. And I have shot with some of the Best Box Bird shooters of South America & they still travel to I think it is Europe to shoot Box Birds.

But we probably don't want to provide details. 1880 "The Sportsman's Guide" Mr. Cholmondeley Pennell of England winner in 1878 1,328f would be about $95,000 today "Modern Shotguns", 1888

The high listing of shooting regulations for shooting pigeons?? I love to shoot barn pigeons, but have never shot pigeons in any competition, nor probably never will. I did own and shoot a optioned 12 L.C. Smith 3E that was set up in the late 1920's (my guess anyway) for a Philadelphia sportsman named Charles Backstrand (head Fred of Armstrong Cork and Tile (Linoleum Flooring) and he may have been a member of the Philadelphia Gun Club-- back in the day. I shoot barn pigeons on area dairy farms, mainly with my M12's, that's as close as I get-sharpens my eyes for the coming waterfowling seasons. I surmise you have the 2nd. edition, as do I, of Hemingway's Guns--Just for "funzies" of all his guns over the years whose whereabouts are known, pick one each: rifle, handgun. shotgun once owned and shot by "Don Ernesto" that you could own and use, free and clear, yet today--OK- here's my picks-- Shotgun- the 12 gauge Beretta O/U with the case and his Cuban residence marked thereon- Rifle-- the G&H custom 30-06, and if possible, the Heiser case and also the scope and case and the G&H mount- Pistol-- either of the 2 Colt Match Target Woodsman pistols- the 4& 1/2" long barrel or the 6" barreled one-- Not ever gonna happen, but a feller can dream, right??

Slowly making progress. Sig. Guidicini used a Scott in 1893. He also won in 1890.
