Pheasant Ridge has 12 pegs set in a large circle laid out on a wooded hillside. The birds are hand-launched from the center of the circle. The pegs, or shooting locations, are in trees or brush, so no one can see the birds being released--they appear by surprise. As the angles and speeds also vary, the shooting can be challenging. At the gamekeeper�s horn, the Guns move to their next assigned peg. By the end, each Gun has shot from each peg to assure everyone more or less the same opportunities.
