A New Twist on Shotgun Sports
Helice
Helice is a shotgun sport that provides shooters a similar experience to hunting wild birds. Propeller-driven targets, called ZZ birds, fly from machines spinning at 5000 rpm simulating the unpredictable flight path of a live bird. The objective is to hit the white cap and separate it from the orange propeller before the target flies over the fence. The shooter has full use of the gun (two shells) for each target.
On Sunday mornings, Cherokee Rose hosts a casual Helice group for 30 bird and 15 bird races. We welcome Helice shooters of all levels. We often start in the morning for a 30 bird race, break for lunch, and have afternoon races for those who are interested. Call our clubhouse at 770-227-6569 or send us a message through our contact form for more information or to be added to our Helice email list.
Cherokee Rose is hosting a United States Helice Association (USHA) race from Friday, June 20th – Sunday, June 22nd, 2025. Learn more about this race.
