Competition
for distance and accuracy of spitting peas.
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 (Putty) 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... |
