    Hey Dedpair.

    Ohio got rid of their target requirements. Don’t you think PA should follow?

    It's being considered and a decision will be made in the near future. As soon as something is decided, we'll pass it along.

    I think it's a good idea.

    Now that the O.S.T.A. has removed the target requirements for the Ohio State shoot, which is typically the week after the PA State shoot, I think it would be best for the shooters if PA did the same. Never thought the two largest state shoots in the country would have to face something like this but here we are. Lets all hope that we get to have both shoots, target requirements or not.

    I plan to cover both venues. I love taking the photos at both shoots.

    Target requirements should be announced soon don’t you think? I would rather spend money at the CC if they are waving targets.

    Don't get too excited about going. Our PA governor just extended the "stay indoors" order to April 30th.

    Wouldn't be shocked to see them extend it another month when 4/30 rolls around would you?

    If it keeps you alive, suck it up and try to help him do that for you. Dead members do not support the ATA. But many dead members are still voting for democrats. Roger C.

    Oh, I'm doing my part. With all the casinos closed in the US the problem I'm going to have is my weight. My wife is bored and cooking every recipe she can think of. Tough cooking for just two. Lots of left overs.
    Luckily we have a 25 year old hockey playing, body building, gym rat, Grandson that will come over to take home the extra portions. He said it's like calling in an order to a restaurant.

    PSSA Update April 2020

    At this time the Executive Committee has decided to waive all Current Year Target Requirements for the Colonial Classic, PA State Shoot, PA Grand and PA Summer Championships. The Overall Target Requirements will stay in effect for All Shoots for the 2020 Target Year, and Westy Hogans in the 2021 Target Year.

    We are currently planning on holding all our shoots, as scheduled. Any necessary updates will be posted to our Web and Facebook Pages as conditions warrant.

    Please stay safe and hope to see you all in May!
