Morally speaking, I may not find pigeon shooting objectionable, but many do. When an issue starts looking hot, it's generally not a very wise idea to throw gasoline on it and see what happens. That's what Philadelphia Gun Club did.

Pigeon shooting is not a hunting, it's a slap in the face to hunters. Don't put this on the backs of hunters, ok? In fact, the day hunting is banned comes faster because of the existance because of stupid events like pigeon shoots. These things leave a false impression of what hunters do, and turn the public against us. Pigeon shoots are not about fair chase, not about gathering food, not about wildlife management, not even about having a nice trophy for the wall. Pigeon shoots are just some ridiculous joke that gives us all a black eye. This is ridiculous. Pigeon shooting is not a hunting, it’s a slap in the face to hunters.

It's a big issue here, gun banning for any reason is poking the hornets nest. When I hear of hunters from other areas not supporting gun rights it amazes me (Old Fart's from previous post comments section not included, I still say he lives close to a big city). But your right we need to work on the urban hunters who don't get it. And here in Mo. it's going to be the NRA that unifies us, not a bunch small associations.
