Highrise Tower Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Apparently this was across the street from Rice Institute back in the early 1900s. Appears to be a railroad track in the background, which would be the Westmoreland Railroad Company's Bellaire Line. Gun clubs always have a unique land formation. The shooting positions are an unusual shape. Kind of resembles a moon, or a half moon. Easy for spotting in old aerial photographs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clay pigeons come out of the roundish structure near the left front of the picture(and the other ones) and fly semi-randomly. The shooters stand in one of the lanes marked by stripes. Better shooters stand near the back, others near the front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
