why was the poll about target angle when the topic was target speed?
yep. Same problem for me. I refused reductions to the 19 while I was away from shooting for 8 years. This year I have shot several 21 yard events by...
In this case, bankruptcy means they have too much debt. Nearly a billion dollars in debt. Cerberus could not sell Remington years ago. So they loaded...
So, you are trying to average shame ATA delegates? Clearly, they refuse reductions so that they can shoot with their friends, and do not care about...
They are not desperate for cash. Getting the suckers... er I mean creditors, to loan them a 950 million dollars and then file bankruptcy was the plan...
A billion dollars in debt? How or why did Remington need a billion dollars since Cerberus took them over? Figure that out, and you will know what is...
That is one fine looking stable! Owning horses, as I do, I like it when things look like a stable. How delightful. I am sure it doesn't look like a...
That's the point. The WSRC didn't loose a client, SASS did.
You assume attendance will drop to zero because one event is no longer a SASS state champion event. The Kaskaskai Cowboys still hold shoots at the...
uh, the beef was between the local club and SASS, and they won't hold a state championship shoot because of the fees SASS wants. 130 shooters is a...
"Has the Complex lived up to its hype? Not exactly. In fact, the Complex’s total projected revenue collection from fiscal year 2004 through fiscal...
Entities that have the power to tax can calculate profit and losses differently? If each time money changes hands a taxing authority collects a...
I remember talk of prohibiting prospective employers from doing background checks in Illinois. The purpose was to allow persons with criminal records...
if only they allowed guns on the trap line this would never happen
The prison golf course stinks.
I won a Lewis payout solo once... my score sucked but just the right amount to take a few hundred dollars home. I spent the Lewis money on...
It has been done. Moody's is reviewing IL for a downgrade anyway. Something about not addressing the causes of the financial crisis and just raising...
15 Republicans voted for the tax hike going against the governor. It passed the first time with enough votes to override. It would be political...
a budget was passed, and vetoed, and is halfway through a veto override. The budget gets passed by override in the next few days, and the cash will...
They are putting in soccer fields downrange? What is meant by a "mega sports complex?"
I use mine. With my head on the stock I am looking through the upper lense which is for distance. Then I realized I could live without the reading...
The only shotgun I ever saw blow up did that very same thing. The shooter was left holding the receiver in one hand, fore stock remnants in the...
HistoryBuff - That was great! I only read your highlights, but it was great! Substitute today's currency - Time -and it is all still true today.
I totally agree. However, if there are a lot more shooters LIKE ME, then it becomes a demographic trend. On the other hand, if active ATA memberships...
well, then your lifetime average may not reflect your recent / current abilities? It might be impossible to get yourself into the proper class if...
This could be why I have trouble understanding some things. If that was what it meant to you, why indeed. Cardinal center sounds like one heck of an...
Edit time out: is it correct to measure the sport by one events attendance? It always seems to swing around to The Grand numbers. Makes sense if that...
IF a post claiming 75% of ATA members since 1995 are gone is anywhere near accurate, some sort of major demographic shift has occurred. You suggest...
I am not saying the location of the WSRC is not responsible for lower Grand attendance. Do you think the health of registered trapshooting depends on...
Yes I did shoot back then. As my children grew so did obligations. 3 hours here and there is manageable, but a local ATA shoot ends up requiring 8 am...
So my conclusion was NO, another organization model is not needed unles it solves the time problem
Competitive trapshooting is struggling because it takes too much time. Only the very young or old have the time to spend ALL day at a shoot. The rest...
Every other year or so a Chicago news crew films an empty WSRC with its lone resident staying in a camper sayin how nice it is, then tallies up the...
