Helice: Skeet on Steroids

[RoosGirl]

When the target flies, it’s like the love child of a mourning dove and a bobwhite quail. It flutters and zings, accelerates and swoops off in unconsidered directions—just like a live bird. The game is called helice (pronounced hell-ees),
 a shotgun sport that has been well established across Europe and is catching on stateside. “This is the closest thing to live bird shooting you will ever see that doesn’t have a live bird in it,” says Michael B. Higgins, a former aerospace consultant who now runs the Long Straw Ranch shooting preserve in North Texas and serves as the president of the U.S. Helice Association. “If you are a hunter, this is the game for you.”

Shooting a round of thirty ZZ birds can top $90, plus shells.

Leaves me out. Looks challenging though.

Cool

the U.S. team holds the current helice world championship. All of its members hail from the South, as does the reigning ladies’ world champion, Mimi Wilfong, who is from Malakoff, Texas.

Yeah, it's expensive huh?  Would be fun to try though.
