Skeet shooting on any lines?

[Seaman123]

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??

Between environmentalists and terrorists, skeet shooting on board has be shuffled to the history books.

Maybe they should bring it back, it would change the minds of any pirates that got close by.

Used to be able to hit golf balls off the ship too.

 

Never understood that one though.

We did that on the Carnivale in the 70's. I think that was the last decade for it

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.

The pirates would laugh at you with your shotgun and birdshot. Pirates have automatic rifles and RPGs.

Yep, and it would be tough to convice any line to let me bring my Bushmaster for Skeet:D

My last skeet shoot was on the Tropicale in 86..Technically speaking, it would be trap , as there was no high house and low house;) ,

Actually that's a freakin blast, but I digress, memories of a bloody, mis-spent youth....;):)

No skeet shooting there either but there are .50 cal shoots that are way more fun

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:
