When I extracted the shell (factory top gun) this is what it looked like.  I checked my barrel and everything looked fine and I continued the round without any problem.  To me it looks like there is a bulge in the shell perhaps caused by a misaligned wad, but I don&#039;t know.<br />

Any thoughts?<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[The notes on my desk say the OSTA Zone Shoots started out as a Shooter Appreciation Day.   The shoots were 100 bird events.  (Please confirm this for me).    I am told there were as many as 500 in a Zone Shoot.  <br />
<br />
And....there was a free Lewis Class?   Did the OSTA appreciate shooters that much?<br />
<br />
My information for this year is that the target prices have been fixed at $46.  At least one club wants to charge $36.   <br />
<br />
Are the OSTA Zone Shoots still Shooter Appreciation Day?  <br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[A previous post on here got me to thinking, why not instead of starting another trapshooting association ( like some have suggested), start something entirely different. Why not registered wobble?  200 targets wouldn&#039;t be needed plus a lot of times at least another 100 carry-over for tie breakers, you could probably go with 50 targets saving time and money, clubs would need fewer traps and the shell and target cost would be cut in half. Less tiring for us old farts and for the southern shooters...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I talked to Dave tonite, him and Dirk are at Sparta. he broke a 200 straight today at the grand.  I asked him when he broke his first 200 at the grand and he thinks in 1962 or 63.  This would be 62 or 63 years between his first grand 200 and this one.  Good shooting Dave.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I remember the old days (pre-dinosaur era) when the smaller clubs ATA shoots consisted of 100 Singles, 50 Handicap and 25 prs. of Doubles. With the increased cost of targets and ammunition it might be time to re-evaluate our commitment to those long and increasingly expensive programs, go back to our roots, and try to increase participation. Anyway, whatever we&#039;re doing now isn&#039;t working. Thoughts?]]></content:encoded>
