User 1, My previous post to "DLS" was solely to seek clarification of the statement of fact by "DLS" regarding "a lady" which I noted presumably to...
DLS; It is not my intent to question your veracity. However, I am curious as to how you know for a fact that the lady, presumably Sandra Jo Jack...
Mike J; Not sure what you are looking for but here's a couple of books that might be of interest to you. Homegrounds, 1924-2005, Vandalia, Ohio, A...
User 1; You know the ATA official rules as well if not better than I do. Do you see any breach of the official ATA Rules and/or By-laws in the...
User 1, Sure. The investigation was completed and forwarded to the Zone VP 07/11/17. The final disposition completed at the EC meeting, 08/01/17....
7.5shot, That's true. What is unknown is what the recommendation of the investigator (Neilson) was. It was never stated in the minutes if the Zone VP...
I don't know about any EC member. But I do remember a former NYS delegate and son of a former ATA President who was suspended for 1 year for his...
Par4, I agree 100%. Everyone perceives things differently. However just because perceptions differ it doesn't necessarily mean that one is right and...
Mike J, Excellent point. I would think that any credible person would want to have a reasonable knowledge of the facts and circumstances which...
Smithy: You might want to revisit the ATA Rule Book , in particular Section XII, C. The complaint is assigned by the EC to the State or Provincial...
Mike J, Those figures are total entries not attendance. Big difference. I believe I read somewhere that for the 2017 Grand they classified about 3000...
Ditto what Ken said. They put out a press release regarding the suspension Dec 19th, www.prnewswire.com
possumskinner; You might want to take a look at a Nov.15, 2017 Reuters article: New Weinstein lawsuits pit anonymous accusers against public's right...
possumskinner; I am not disputing your statement as to the rights afforded to the accused under the 6th Amendment. I am merely stating that the "6th"...
Possumskinner; That's very true. The Confrontation Clause is in fact a provision of the 6th Amendment. However, don't you believe it would be more...
Steel based hulls hang up in both my Seitz and Alfermann. I always carry a wad knocker. It works for me.
Come on Mike J. Merlo's got a great "cast" going and you hijack his thread! Be careful or you'll be put on Joe's naughty list!!
Smithy, As I stated to Brads Friend, if it is your opinion that the ATA leadership is so inherently corrupt that in good conscious you can no longer...
Brads Friend, There is little doubt that the Glatz/Rively incident created quite a firestorm within the ATA, especially regarding the...
Brads Friend, I agree. Given today's technology and with the advancements in social media there should be a far greater transparency provided by the...
Roger, I understand what you are saying. I believe the majority of people would say that a charitable organization or "charity" is one whose primary...
Roger, I agree. The more transparency and information provided to the membership the better. However, I'm confused as to why you feel the ATA is a...
Roger, The ATA is a not for profit corporation and qualifies as a 501(c)(3) entity which is organized and operated exclusively for the purposes of...
I believe History Buff previously posted the initial bylaws which were adopted in 1924 but I don't recall the date of his post.
Brads Friend, You may want to take another look. Try Article V, Section 8. Come on, Roger quit stirring the pot. You know very well that the...
I don't know Roger, maybe T Shot is on to something. Sounds like you may have made WPT whimper a time or two!!
Section XII, C:4
HB, Very interesting. Thanks for the info.
Brad, I believe T & F has stopped printing the complaints and actions. They are listed in the minutes of the EC meetings. However, it apparently is...
It is my understanding that the decision of the EC was unanimous. I do not know Mr.Shaw (Eastern Zone VP) but I have been told that he his very...
Shotshell, I believe your interpretation is correct and was the intent of the EC. However, in saying that the individual is not eligible for...
Family Guy, The way I read it, the suspension is effective as of 08/15/17. Since apparently he was a member in good standing up to that date my guess...
Very true Roger. Also I am not disputing the "Sparta facts". As to getting the facts on how many trap shooters are on the watch list. All I know is...
Roger, Facts can be misleading. The ratio of sex offenders in Marengo, Ohio as of 08/23/2017 is 18 to 1. Would that suggest that quite possibly the...
Great photobomb by the Dawg. BTW congrats to Little Dawg, tied for SJ in yesterday's hdcp. Good shooting.
Interesting concept. There could be qualifiers at the every club level where lets say the top 2 scores at each club become eligible at the state...
Roger, Good luck with your surgery. Pay attention to the Dr's, follow the rehab and you'll be good as new in no time. Don't know about the shoot off....
Okay Roger, I'll buy that. At least you managed to get some ice cream even if it wasn't a cone. This year was just one of those years for us....
Roger, Except for Lollies in the 11 years I attended Sparta (couldn't make it this year, family matter) I never ate at any of the places you...
Brad, I agree. The ATA leadership has had their head(s) in the sand for years. Everything that they have done has been for the benefit of the...
No argument there Dawg. I know I got my butt kicked more times than I like to remember!
Brad D Cut T-Shot some slack. He was merely responding to the post by FG (#31). I respect FG's opinion but his points/arguments literally contradict...
Wpt, Yep, Matt had a very good Grand. He won HOA on the 2600 and I believe he picked up a win or two during preliminary week. But, the Canadian kid,...
T Shot Oh boy, now you have gone and done it. You made a critique against the "Holy Land". I would recommend that you take shelter immediately!
SOC, You sure about your numbers for Events 16 & 17, I have them down 42 & 5?
Old Goat 2, No offense taken. I understand where you're coming from and know many shooters who look at today's game the same as you, my wife being...
Old Goat 2, I was at Woodstock in 08/69 and I can assure you it was not equivalent to any trap shoot that I have ever been to and I've been around...
Win 101, Would I have turned down the $6.7K+ payout? Nope and would have been happier than a pig in s$#t to get it. Several years ago I missed the...
Nope "Dawg", Columbus's numbers are from the Ohio State Handicap Championship. And that is with roughly 64% of entries playing the lewis which is...
Bat, Give SOC a break. I don't think his mommy has gotten home yet to change his diaper.
