If some of you non ATA haters want to see a positive report on the 2018 Grand, instead reading the tripe and nonsense posted here by the usual...
You Ohio guys should not have kicked the ATA out of Vandalia.
Yes you moron, I attended the State shoot in Grand Junction CO and also my other state of residence, AZ in March, this year of our Lord, 2018. My...
ATA shoukd just ban kids under 55 and some of you adults between 56 and 75 are never going to grow up.
It was still a load of exaggerated BS when he posted it. From Rogers Post: “Registered trap is dead in Phoenix, AZ. Ben Avery has canceled all of...
Maybe you could stop making false claims and I would not have to correct you? Or I could have kept quiet and we could have a nice ATA shoot without...
Roger? Did you think I was referring to you in my post?
Brad M sent you a private message.
More lies and disinformation from certain people who’s sole purpose is to badmouth the ATA and try to destroy it. If a person goes to the calendar...
Okay Joe, I got it. This is not an open forum where viewpoints and ideas can be exchanged. Previldged people can demean the ATA, but others cannot...
Smithy, You still are wrong. I have been to 3 Colorado State Shoots and 3 Arizona State shoots in the last 5 years. I don’t go to every shoot,...
Hey I have an idea. How about anytime one of these threads are created, either wanting to return to a time before many were born or bitching about...
Familyguy, What facts? When I do a search and read past threads, it is still unsubstantiated claims, no evidence to support anything. I think...
Being as the incident that happened in 1955 was over 20 years before I took up trap and I was not even 10, of what importance is the 1955 incident...
Hey, just reflecting on what a moderator of this forum is telling me. What should I believe when straight from the keyboard of a moderator? You...
Family guy, I will do that. Have missed much in my self imposed exile here. Guess I don’t know what is what. Dr. Longshot, I get the feeling...
Smithy, Ohio has almost 12 million people compared to the 6 million of Colorado. We had a music festival the same week with 10,000 people putting...
So the story is no longer true that the airport wanted the land? This newest story is the first time I have heard this. Seems to change every time...
Ya seem to forget Smithy, the ATA did not leave Vandalia. Vandalia kicked the ATA out of Vandalia. The fact the ATA ended up in Illinois is besides...
Smithy, So do you think Dr. Longshot is a space cadet too? You are posting on his thread, the subject matter of which is to bring back the ATA....
I don’t really believe that remaining in Sparta will cause the demise of the ATA. Maybe it will cause a slowdown or shrinkage of the organization,...
Only thing I would say to that is you have the largest concentration of trapshooters in the Midwest. In the West, the only large shoots are those...
And that is why we become pro active and insist we, the ATA membership are represented by both the State and the delegate, otherwise we don’t need...
Thank you. I admit I started off wrong, but I have also experienced ill mannered people on this site long before I jumped into this thread. Being...
Let me say this and then I will back off and leave you guys to it, unless you think my suggestion has some merit. Instead of a petition for which...
Original thought? That is all you guys do, revert to the koolaid insult when someone opposes your lockstep thought. All I am wanting to know is, it...
So you support the demise of the ATA?
In this lifetime,or the next????
You have to admit, Garry your admonishments are pretty funny considering your typing error calling the ATA the American Trapshooting Association...
You forgot and need to add, “return ATA to Ohio.” Only then can we all have true Nirvana.
Yes, Garry, I was being to literal when I said anybody. Forgive me, being a life member for over 40 years, and in good standing, shooting over 3000...
635G Why don’t you eat an amendment to the rules before the BOD, “anybody with a AAA27AAA classification is is removed from the membership?”
That’s what happens when one lives in the past.
It’t not me going off the rails with all these conspiracy theories. I cannot validate conjecture or rumor. It is the job of the person presenting...
No, you gain membership to your State Association separately Not the same procedures at all State shoots, just the way it works at mine. Sign up...
I don’t know if you are a sucker or not, but that is not Important to this conversation. If you want a”pro” class, contact the IRS and find out how...
Paid by who? Shell manufacturers with free shells? Those are endorsements from the manufacturers. Somehow they think by telling people some...
The people (shooters) at the business meeting are asked for nominations. Jill stands up and nominates Joe. Tom seconds the motion, all in favor...
Well fine, User1, make that your life’s mission. Just dont’t be surprised if nothing comes of your mission or no one gives a crap about it....
User1 Unlike you, I don’t moan and cry in my beer after some wrong doing committed 10 years ago by some person no longer around. You feel you have...
635G I would think by now as long as you have been around you would know by now, an non profit organization with a 503 c 3 exemption from the IRS...
You go to the State Shoot. When you sign up to shoot, you are given a ballet. During the shoot, you will see posters saying “Vote for Joe Smoe, for...
User1 A non profit is not always a charity and this might come as a shock to you, but non profits are not prohibited from making money or even a...
WPT, Glad some of you are beginning to understand what I have been saying for a long time, the Membership is the ATA. It is that membership that...
You guys are still batting zero. If you discussed any of these proposed changes in order to tempt a prospect to join the ATA, they would give you a...
I already commented on Draft 1 thread. Here I would tell you control has never been lost by the membership, the membership has no interest in...
This and the other draft looks like a bunch of nonsense to me. You would be more successful to create a new trapshooting association, separate and...
I think most is us have figured out artur codrea. Here is a guy who does not shoot ATA trap, has no clue about it’s history or why things are done...
I think we should hit the Ohio ATA shooters with a surcharge on fees to pay for this stuff. They failed to keep the ATA/Grand in Ohio and now the...
Which is why I made my statement, I am surprised at the uproar. When you do business with government at any level, you are expected to provide...
