    Congratulations to Mr. Gipson bringing the Grand to his home area, Linn Creek. A lifetime achievement.

    Who would think anyone person could have that much control over an organization that big?

    Sid, Have you made your plans to attend the shoot in Linn Creek? It is going to be a little quiet in Sparta. Roger C.

    If the ATA does not dump Lynn (the Talking Head ) Gipson they are in real trouble, he cares about one thing and that is Lynn (the Talking Head ) Gipson ... WPT ... (YAC) ....

    By far the smartest statement you have ever put on this website.

    Congratulations on growing up! One trip to Cardinal Center and you'll change your screen name to Sparta What.

    And if the state of ILLNews keeps going the way it is that just might be for a LIFE TIME. As in the 'grand' will have to stay there FOREVER. I hope not. I want that shoot in August to stay in ILLnews. No matter what it cost the ata to keep it there.

    Make sure you introduce yourself to FG so we can see what you look like. :confused:

    Since the Indian name for Missouri is "Land Of Big Canoe, maybe the MTA will change the name of the club just for the 'grand'.

    Instead of Linn Creek they could call it UP A Creek

    The Cardinal Center again is without a grand. Attendance might be bigger at Linn Creek than Sparta. Trapshooting is flourishing with Gipson. All is good. I hope FG comes to Linn Creek. A squad picture would be nice.

    Trapshooting has not flourished in over 14 years, nothing is good and the Fantastic Direction that Lynn ( The Talking Head ) Gipson was talking about never materialized other than in his imagination ... The ATA can survive (prosper) on the daily fees collected by all of the clubs on their behalf at each and every shoot that is a registered shoot ... The ATA does not recognize the clubs that are really the Associations bread and butter other than give minimal returns to each States Association ... No offense but Sparta is a shit hole, was a shit hole, and will always be a shit hole when it comes to a place where what was once the biggest shoot in the nation is being held, this is confirmed by the attendance records over the past 14 years ... Lynn ( the Talking Head ) Gipson has done nothing to advance the Association other than bleed it of his salary and benefits since he took over ... If the EC, ED, and most of the BOD knew how few people have any respect for them they would go hide and never show their faces again ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    Looks to me as though the CC is doing just fine without the meddling, self serving, ata coming around.

    FG doesn't have to go to the grand at sparta, oops, that's right, THERE IS NO grand AT THAT PLACE IN ILLNEWS.
    You said you might come to the CC (that's a lie) he can get your picture there.

    Here's a news flash for you two:confused:. This won't be the last time the 'grand' isn't in ILLnews.

    "Attendance might be bigger at Linn Creek than Sparta."

    STOP, You're killing me. NO, really stop, that is about the funniest AND dumbest thing you have posted here yet.

    A move 3-4 hours farther away from MOST Trap shooters, a pandemic that prays on people in the age bracket of most Trap shooters, and the overall fear of contracting this nasty virus and you predict the thing will draw MORE shooters?

    Wait a second. You just might be right. People just might chance all of the above and attend because it ISN'T in ILLnews. You could have stumbled on the way to get more people to go.

    Every year find a reason NOT to have it at the outpost in the middle of BFE and the ata might draw more than the pathetic numbers they have for the last 14 years.

    And two? You do realize that your avatar looks just like the dead spartan on the far left of the picture I posted don't you?
    It looks like he is holding his sword but actually he has his hand on his crotch.

    Appropriate I would say.
