they should make it a new version of tennis. Perhaps attack tennis? Divide the players into groups, the color of pigeon determines it's point value. Group with the highest points wens a trophy.

They are trying to hit the pigeons with the balls, right? Because it would just be unsportsmanlike to hit the birds. And it may destroy the racket.

good point - trade the rackets for clubs

I'm on a deadline today, so here is my all-inclusive participation in this thread:

Are the marksmen allowed to drink Kool Aid while they shoot pigeons?

Clubbing the pigeons would be more of a challenge.

Mmmmm. Pigeons. It's what's for dinner.

I was hoping for more of a "puff" of feathers

I am offended at the disregard for life in this thread. Now if they were shooting manatees instead of birds, everyone would be up in arms.
