Can anyone tell me how a tower shoot is set up? How high is the tower? How are the birds released? How far away from the tower are the blinds? How far apart are the blinds?

Tower shoots come in all shapes and sizes. It's pretty much a function of the size of the property. The tower is generally between 25 to 50 feet high (the higher...the better). At the top, there is usually some sort of a "box" with walls that allow the fellow throwing out the pheasants protection from errant bird shot. The birds are simply tossed out from the tower and, hopefully will fly out towards your direction, at which point you shoot it.
The blinds or, stations are set in a circle around the tower. Again, distance from each other depends on the size of the land available and, thus the size of the circle. Here again, the bigger the better/safer for the shooters. Be careful....I have been to some shoots where the circle was so small that the event was downright dangerous! I ended up walking out of one such event... Every few birds tossed, there is a break and everyone rotates position so that all have a fair chance in the event there is a strong wind and the birds favor one particular direction.

In general, I have been dissapointed with tower shoots using pen raised pheasants...they are too big and fly too slow. The shooting is too easy....it becomes a slaughter. However, a tower shoot with pigeons is a lot more challenging...of course assuming there is a high tower and a big circle.
