Seaman123 Posted April 11, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 11, 2012 When I think of cruise ships from days gone by, I think of shuffleboard, wood deck chairs and for some reason.... skeet shooting. Any cruise lines offer this activity?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they should bring it back, it would change the minds of any pirates that got close by. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentine's Mom Posted April 11, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2012 We did that on the Carnivale in the 70's. I think that was the last decade for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No environmental impact anymore....pigeons are clay and trap/skeet loads are mainly steel or tungston. Pretty much any shooting near/into water is required to be non-lead now. A few years ago I know they offered it on a couple small windjammer ships up here.....that's about the last I've heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXSAIL Posted April 11, 2012 #18 Share Posted April 11, 2012 They had live pigeon shoots at Torrejon Air Farce Base , when I was stationed there in 69...Europeans from all over came with really fancy shotguns..Poor pigeons. They clipped the tail feathers to make them fly erratic, thus making them a more difficult target.:mad: What about shooting real pigeons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
