The concept is both simple and challenging – 20 shooters form a circle 100 feet away from a wooden tower 40 feet high. A fully adult pheasant is released out of the top of that tower into the air - confused, excited, flying wildly in any unpredictable direction. You have a keen eye and a steady hand and only a fraction of a second to line up your gun as he passes overhead. With practice, luck and patience you discover that you can actually bag one or two from your position in the circle. You feel confident – release the next bird. You feel good – you know that you have mastered that position. Then the word goes out – “Rotate to the next position”. Few sports are as challenging and as socially satisfying as participating in a pheasant tower shoot – hundreds of birds, 20 positions – complete with good food and good talk afterwards. Poplar Springs Farm will begin offering pheasant tower shoots on December 1, 2007 and once a month for the duration of the bird-hunting season. The price is $200 per shooter.
