Thanks for the update, Dick! I have purely selfish reasons for wanting you to get better. SHARON AND I LOVE SQUIRRELS! Haha! For those of you...
Prayers from Sharon and I to both of them and their families. Sandy has been going to trap shoots with Dave and Dirk for decades. Anyone that...
How far can a wad go? I know of one F wad that made it all the way to the White House!
I’m not sure what percentage of the top A.A. shooters shoot a high POI, but I know several that do. If I had to guess I’d say they found through...

I’m not certain, but I think one of the larger venues tried 100 per trap. Maybe it was Missouri? I don’t think it was well received. We tried 50...
It might be faster if there is only one event for the day. If traps need to be switched from singles to doubles it can slow that process down...
The following is from an article in the County Journal on Feb 1st, 2024. ATA Executive Director Lynn Gipson said the extension is good news for the...
I’m with ya LimaShooter50. AB InBev owns more than 500 beer brands worldwide! Hopefully whoever gets to decide on the beer does a little research...
Charles, That reminds me of the law passed by our US Congress that states they get an annual raise unless they specifically vote not to. That...
I So after months of telling Ohio shooters that the new morality clause was voted on, the Directors now say oops, I guess it wasn’t voted on. And...
Gary, I certainly agree with you that she did excellent work! Cindy recut the checkering on one of my stocks just before Dennis passed. It’s...
The ATA website has a note saying we misunderstood and there is no $50 fee to publish an obit. There is a fee if we want them to research a...
While I completely agree with Ron Burdick’s original post, my wife says y’all are missing a money making opportunity. I asked her how that could be?...
Rn3, Gipson asked Stockdale what should be done to keep the crowd at the Grand instead of leaving early. Stockdale’s answer was to change the...
And exactly how would changing the All American points at shoots held after the Grand serve to keep the “crowd” from leaving before shoot offs?
Even stranger still is this: The final four events at the Grand (singles and doubles championships, preliminary and GA handicap) had the highest...
Maybe some of you can shed some light on this issue cuz it doesn’t make any sense to me. The quote below is from the official minutes of ATA...
Brad, The minutes of the Foundation’s October 2023 board meeting show a checkbook balance of $140,621.40 and $683,362.51 in the Midway...

What a shame the OSTA President wouldn’t allow the OSTA Directors to receive this letter via the normal channels. Someone should have warned him that...
There are a few YouTube videos but the one I watched was about 3-1/2 hours long titled “Wyoming State Shooting Complex Oversight Task Force Meeting,...
Wyoming is the least populated state in the USA with fewer than 600K residents. I believe the complex they want to build will be similar to the...
Found a few articles online and a lengthy YouTube video discussing a proposed 10 million dollar world class shooting complex to be built in Wyoming....
Ya know Dawg, I just asked myself where all that prize money is coming from. I have to admit that while I am a member of the NSCA I don’t know much...
The same group of “Trapshooters” that complain about the extra 25 cents for wads will spend $600 on a Yedi cooler so they don’t have to throw out a...
Looks like the NSCA has 1822 entries in their 200 bird main event this weekend. $20,000 for 1st, $10,000 for 2nd, $6,000 for third, $6,000 for Lady...

Mr. McPeek’s questions were directed towards the Ohio ATA Delegate after his presentation of ATA information and upon his calling for any questions...
There is a curious comment recorded in the official minutes of the 2023 Ohio State Trapshooting Association’s annual meeting. A person named Joe...

“Just when I thought I was out…..they pull me back in!”
Kinda looks like a run away train. You know you should look away from the wreckage but somehow you just can’t stop yourself.
Dave, I had 117 to nip ya by one. I used that new WV method where you don’t actually shoot you just pick a score and turn it in. Glad I waited to...
If you decide to file an official complaint make sure you print three copies. Staple one copy to the scorers chair where the incident occurred....
Outstanding attendance numbers! Congrats to all involved. The 648 pistol shooters is way more than most ATA State trap shoots can draw. 2758...

I don’t know the answer to that question. Both are regular contributors on this site. Perhaps they will enlighten us. It was a very sad day for...
Two HOF members told me they removed their items but Dirk wasn’t one of them.
