Let's see...the poll on this forum had mixed and inconclusive results from about 100 responses. Not a clear-cut mandate...even from the anti-ATA...

I'm shocked!....SHOCKED!....that a government entity could be so mismanaged by officials elected by responsible taxpayers!! How could this happen?...
With my cynical sense of humor I kinda got myself in the management "dog house" before I retired. A male employee came down asking to change his...
Perhaps there is more reader interest in the many thread comments here about bed bugs and why the ATA left that place in Ohio over 13 years ago. Who...

Kinda sad. If the senior members aren't willing to support Trapshooting, how are new shooters expected to join the fun. Oh well, I ain't there...
You all have got me convinced! We gotta save the Trapshooting game...note it is up to US...WE. I'm gonna pack up and head to the Grand American...
Looks like it is off to a great start! Lots of shooters in the first day's singles and handicap....

Looks like an over-priced tourist trap....
Why in the world would anyone consider paying more than $50,000/year for an executive position to run the national organization since a...
Welcome to the New World of Electronics and Open Information Age! I just watched an information piece on the "Today" show explaining how all these...
Not to worry....to read these posts, the Grand is slowly, assuredly, just fading away! BUT there IS hope. One of these days, somewhere, sometime,...
Your 1st point: Agreed! I have stopped wasting my insulin budget buying any money options, especially on singles events, except an occasional lucky...
Roger, Very Excellent points, particularly well-stated in the first three sentences of your reply...I totally agree! You are also 110% correct re:...
Just a thought and NOT to be confrontational or start any arguments, but isn't it a reality that many small registered ATA shoots have fallen by the...
I have reported/requested that my 2:50 p.m. posting be Deleted. It just clutters up a worthwhile thread. Thanks, Ed

Thought this Thread Topic focused on the scheduled upcoming Championship "Series" not a personal attack. So, does the Series start this year or...
I don't know if this slows the hardening process, but storing any long gun with a recoil pad MUZZLE DOWN, at least helps avoid flattening out the...
Lest I am viewed as one who doesn't care, I did get to enjoy the Vandalia experience during the last three years before it closed. Yes, it was a...
This is NOT a hostile or critical posting....just an observation. The nostalgia and continuing focus on this forum for the demise of the Vandalia...
Good News! A lot better than 2,527! Regards, Ed
Interesting! Thanks! Ed
Just a completely wild guess - wink, wink - that the pre-squad numbers for this year are probably 35% over the number pre-squaded for last year's...
"Rumors" (as in anonymous sources) say that pre-squading for the forthcoming Big Shoot - U. S. Open in Sparta - is up over 35%. Who has the...
Excellent point and well said! The idea that the "angles are easier" for short yardage shooters misses the point (pardon the pun)....the angles of...

Great points! PLUS, shooters don't need specialized equipment....their current, favorite field/hunting guns choked open to modified, a shell bag and...
How about limiting this competition to 27 yard handicap shooters only who have NEVER refused a reduction? Only "pure" 27 yard handicappers would be...
Just don't miss any targets in the event or in the shoot-off.....simple. Regards, Ed
What about all the shooters on the 27 who have refused reductions year after year and should not be there? Perhaps there should be a GAH Champion...

It occurs to me....after reading lots of comments here and other forums that trapshooting will not fade away soon, but the days of Competition are on...
Yes, but I was corrected once after saying that. I was told: "The LOVE of money (emphasis added) is the root of all evil..."
So who is posting "empty statements"? butterly 's comments are summarized as: blah, blah, blah... Where is the documentation...? Ed
Sounds like wpt might suspect there is a possibility that the ATA might try to "bully" or somehow interfere negatively. Ouch! Ed
