I like full. It gives the best breaks and builds good technique.
Very well put. That's precisely the problem.
That's great, but International is really tough. What I'd really like is some Wobble. I was at CC recently, and they said they had a wobble machine...
It looks like a nice gun, but it was made by SKB, and I've heard it can be difficult to find parts or anyone who knows how to work on them.
I completely agree. I'm also bored with ATA Trap. The chickens won't shoot a tougher target. Wobble needs to be the standard form of Trap.
This is the correct approach for a sporting competition. Sorry your gun didn't fire, but too bad. Working equipment is part of the sport. If Jeff...
That's very big news. Awesome to hear it. NSSF is a great organization.
A black-rimmed target against the background in James' post would be a disaster.
Great news. Solid orange is a great target for daytime shooting. The magenta ones used for the cancer shoots are fabulous.
ATA is truly the easiest Trap in the world. All these ATA shooters with their $10,000 guns, campers, and golf carts wouldn't score in the mid pack in...
I think the biggest challenge is the composition of ATA members and shooters, comprised largely of personality types that are hostile to change and...
PITA doesn't try to compete with the ATA and frequently follows the ATA's lead. If you're looking for an organization to supplant the ATA, PITA isn't...
Back at ya'. If this place is simply the ATA Reformation Society, it won't go anywhere. The ATA isn't that big. It won't be that difficult to have a...
Quit asking questions that don't help trapshooting. The ATA is what it is. It's not going to change. It has at least another 15 years in it as is,...
Why is the goal to increase ATA participation? The more important goal is to get shooters to gun ranges shooting any form of Trap or clay target...
Unless you can supply a greater object or end for your purported "practice," it's not; the round is the end, in itself. Your argument is that any...
That's right. Today was the first day they were open since October. They're open less than an ice cream shop in Mackinac City.
I hate black and love orange. I don't like the black-rimmed target, a bit.
I like the idea.
That's precisely what it means to be in business. The client does the business a favor, not the reverse. Whatever you are and wherever you're from...
I think you're a stultified waste of protoplasm. I'm smarter than you. I therefore win the comparative analysis game.
You still can't figure it out. You keep proceeding from your perspective, instead of binning that bad perspective and taking a larger view and a...
What's an "event," and why would anyone ever shoot one? So the only trapshooting that can be done for its own sake is an "event"? That doesn't make...
Why don't you quit saying stupid things? That's a far more useful suggestion. The biggest Trap club in the country wasn't open when it should have...
Trapshooting. Shooting a few rounds of Trap.
Like I said, you're used to bad service. TopGolf is closer and very busy. Point Blank was also busy. Cardinal was closed. Work on your attitude.
Bama, I don't really want your response or perspective. I just want your acquiescence.
Doug, you're trash.
It's a stupid term that needs to die. 99.999999% of people who shoot a bucket of balls at a driving range will never compete in a Golf tournament,...
Drove over there Sunday at Noon with a new shooter and flat of Gun Clubs. Closed sign on the little building by the trapline. Nothing on the...
Lots of ignorant replies here. Yes, the website says they are closed on 12/24 and 12/25. That's so obvious that it didn't need to be said. The...
This place is never open. Worse, they won't tell you when they're not open. 1. They don't update their website. 2. They don't update their...
I like it.
That's the best thing you've ever said.
Never had a target "streak," but if I did, I'd shoot a bit in front of the streak. That streak would give me a great idea of the trajectory.
And where's the all-orange target for comparison?
Shot curtains are a great idea. Blue is the best color. And, yes, they will improve scores, and they make lead reclamation much easier. Shot...
Thanks for the news, Doc. Eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ed's Red doesn't stay Ed's Red for long, as the acetone evaporates. Tranny fluid plus acetone is a poor man's Liquid Wrench that doesn't work as...
Green is an excellent target, even against a green background. It's amazing how easy it is to pick up the green target. I haven't tried the...
Knock it off. You wasting time defending a very silly position. Whether a tree background is purely black or the darkest charcoal or bistre, it's...
Whatever you want, buddy. Take an art class. Learn what colors you'd need to use to paint a forest scene.
Exactly. It looks like 1/2 a target.
Really? [IMG]
What are you doing to help a new series replace the ATA?
Just start a new organization. It's not that hard to do. All sorts of shotgun disciplines can be added, not just American Trap.
Younger generations haven't picked up Trapshooting. The Old Guard may have killed the sport with their bad attitudes and closed minds.
Remember, if you shoot against a tree-dominated background, the second most dominant color of the background is black. A black-rimmed target against...
I like them. I can't get anyone to throw them against a green background. Folks seem to think they're only for the desert. I've put one against a...
I absolutely hate, despise, and detest the black-rimmed target. I hate being given half a target to track. For daylight targets, all orange, all...
