Dr. Drew, as long as we are recalling the past, how about recapping what you can find about the 1902 Grand American at Live Birds, the last Grand American where live birds were shot.

Long way from Kansas City to Monte Carlo Bill, but here you go.
I can't remember if the thread about Annie's gun was here or the PGCA Forum. I've found no better images.

If y'all guys don't have Cyril's trap pigeon shooting book, you should. It is a gold mine for those of us interested in the history of pigeon shooting.


May God bless America and those who defend her.

Where was Ansley H, Fox in that era?? Did he shoot live birds in Philly back then, along with getting his gun company underway??
