Have you ever Helice shoot?, Or even heard of it? Don't worry not many sportsman have heard of it either. This game is like shooting clays with the unpredictability of bird hunting, which is what it should be. This game will challenge the most experienced trap shooters.
Origins
This game originated in Belgium during the 1960s and the name goes by 2 other names, Electrocibles and ZZ bird shoot. Depending on who you talk to ZZ refers to zig-zag pattern that the targets take. The other says, the pigeon target (Zurito) was made of zinc. Helice shooting is more popular overseas than in the U.S.
First impression seems to be another form of clay pigeon shoot, the obvious differences is the target. Its made of two different plastic pieces. The witness cap and the propellers.
Clay Pigeon from Hell
With this flamboyant target design which makes it fly at high speed in an unpredictable path resulting in a fun way to shoot clay pigeons. The shooting is done on pure instinct not from a pre-pattern flight that most clay shooters are accustom to. This may be the closest way to shooting a live bird without being out in the field with your dog. Read the rest of Helice Shoot.
Yeah, we shot it as “crazy quail”
Kinda low for a shot.
Cool, but they must be 10 X the cost of clays.
They have this game at the Dallas Gun Club... $8000 for a membership and there’s a waiting list.
