Pea shooting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pea shooting is the act of shooting dried peas out of a tube, a pea shooter, by blowing through it. A similar effect can be achieved by using small bits of paper instead of peas.

A sport has developed around pea shooting, in which peas are shot into a target, similar to those used for archery. The target may be made of a soft substance so that the peas will stick into it or at least make indentations that easily identify the location of the hit. The pea shooting World Championships are held annually in the village of Witcham, UK.
