    You shoot the Grand, Roger. I think you of all people should like them. Maybe it will get some of the members here back into trapshooting.

    Gee N1H1.....you are like a graph with facts in the X and bullshit in the Y. I am guessing you mean many will come back to the ATA and also that more challenging shoots are not trapshooting.

    It's a more-fun, harder-to-hit target, that's all, Roger.



    Call it "ATA's New Era." If people don't turn out to like it, there's already a backup campaign: "ATA, Back to the Future!"

    Where in the world, butterly, did you find a hint that I said anything at all about "more challenging targets not being trapshooting?" Please be specific and cite the text that led you to this idea.

    Thank You,

    It would take more than turbo targets to get me to go to the gun hating state of Illinois. N1H1 doesn't know the ATA and Sparta experiment failed.

    Things are sooooo slow in the back-yard proving-grounds ..... the top mental-midget has to put down the chart/graph crayons long enough to "Troll", in an effort to stay the "pivot-man" in the Land of the Lost .....

    The "ATA" and Kool-Aid Land need "N1H1" to help speed up the demise of both.

    Back into trapshooting? We never quit shooting trap.

    If this guy thinks the ONLY trapshooting there is has to do with the ata he isn't as smart as he thinks he is.

    I didn't leave the ata, the ata LEFT ME!

    2,003 shooting in the "gah" at that place in IL. in 2017, up from a pathetic 1,745 the year before. Maybe next August they can get 2,100. IF the place is still open.

    Yeah, turbo targets will get the numbers back up to where they were when it was the
    GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP in Vandalia.
    Another brilliant idea!

    Don't change a thing. The move and the change in targets was a bust, live with it, scratch your talking heads and keep going in that "fantastic direction". Talk about screwing the pooch. More like a fantastic erection.

    And for the 4 Sparta/ata chest pounding, Kool-Aid drinking stooges? All you have to do is get an additional two thousand shooters to put their money down for that one big event and you can tell all of us, the ones winston, or whoever posted this, thinks will "come back to trapshooting" that you were right all along. You don't have a prayer of ever getting that many to go to sparta and you know it.

    Well guys, as always it's been great dropping by to renew old friendships. But the weather here is like Indian summer and I've got to get out to the club and work on the mint MX3S that's taken my heart. I want to be prepared for real trapshooting next summer; sorry I won't be seeing you.

    Yours in Sport,

    Is this REALLY winston? Or someone pretending to be him? This sure is a lame attempt at trolling this site. If it IS an imposter, you have to get better bait. Maybe some charts and graphs?

    If it truly IS winston, stick with the charts and graphs. You suck at trolling. Get some tips from that garage gunsmith. Or maybe the guy that posts all the photo shopped pictures. Or the one that says he will NEVER step foot in Ohio. Or the farmer that lives close to that place in Il. Or the other 2 that slap each other on the back,or ass, every time they jump on anyone that questions the ata about some of their decisions.

    As far as being sorry about not seeing us? I can't say the same.

    What ????? Not what you hoped for when it "Might be time for ol' N1H1 to drop back in there..."

    "Hot off of you know where:"

    "What is a turbo target? The ATA is supposed to introduce it a this years Grand. I never heard of it have you? Roger C."

    "Might be time for ol' N1H1 to drop back in there..."

    I doubt you ever had an interest is "seeing" any "Real Trapshooters" ..... The plastic duck hunters/points chasing want-to-be's can have your "real trapshooting next summer" .....

    Is this for real ?

    Could have had ATA Wobble targets and had harder targets to hit...

    I did like the video of raising the POI though...That is how I set my guns up...

    Work comb up until over the target, and then back down until it smashes them...

    Worked well for me !

    More like reel not real

    What IS real is the fact that they get only around half the numbers shooting what was once the biggest event of the year.
    Nice move

    If the ATA really wanted to increase the attendance at the grand they would move the shoot to another club that is capable of hosting it and see what happens ... The problem being instead of 2,003 shooters they might end up with 4,011 or even 4, 788 or more so which ever club was going to host it best be ready for an influx of shooters, not to mention the hotels, motels, theaters, lounges, and restaurants in the immediate area, probably talking about generating 20/30 million ... The Fanazztastic direction has pretty much leveled out at the current location, The State of Illinois will not be investing any money in the WSRC being as they do not have any to invest and its starting to crumble from being over used in the past 11 years ... Depending on which club might take on the task the ATA might have to limit the entry's to say the first 4,000 / 4500 shooters like they did one year back in Vandalia, which back fired on them big time ... Then taking into consideration these new Turbo Targets, add a few more categories, Hell who knows what might or could happen ..? Nothing ventured, nothing gained ... Makes to much sense, it'll never happen ... WPT ... (YAC) ...
