    Which is worse? Being called a target claimer or having the name Jessie Smollet?

    The name "Jussie Smollett" seems to be associated with whale shit based on the phony charges he came up with about being assaulted while minding his own business on the streets of Chicago ... The Chicago Police Dept is none to happy with his actions and his ignoring the demands for payments for the cost of running on a "Wild Goose Chase"... Target claimers and Jussie will probably be close to side by side down next to that whales shit, all 3 will probably have the same odor ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    I don't know Jess Smollet. The target claimers though I've know too many. Some even get to be president. That's the nice thing about a pigeon shoot. The I seen a piece crowd come to the top then, not in a winning way though. Brad

    It should be telling to the ATA lemmings, that NOT ONE OF THEM seems to be willing to contest their 2019 ATA President being called a "target claimer" .....

    The 2019 ATA President himself has not made any public denials about being a "target claimer" ......

    In case the ATA lemmings DO NOT UNDERSTAND, a "target claimer" is "cheating" at the highest levels .....

    He could not win an election but claimed that he was the winner, probably so he would not lose his place in the get a free gun line ... The ATA claimed they do not get involved in local elections, so now we know why ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    Good thing you defined the obscure term of target claimer. Otherwise, NSSA members might not have understood.

    Try reading the post again Par4 ..... you may have some reading comprehension problems .....

    And look a little harder into your search for a pissing contest .....

    https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=lemmings meaning ...... "a person who unthinkingly joins a mass movement, especially a headlong rush to destruction" .....

    Are you a lemming Par4 ????? or, are you sandbagging about your interests in the ATA Par4 ???????????

    "Good thing you defined the obscure term of target claimer. Otherwise, NSSA members might not have understood."

    If anyone thinks that it is easy to call a target for yourself or one for your buddy on a 5 man Trap squad remember the layout of the field. Four other sets of eyes PLUS the scorer. All out in the open for the world to see. You think it would be tougher.

    Now, stand in a Sporting Clays box in the woods with all those shadows and junk in the background, put the scorer behind you and a little to one side. Have four of your shooting buddies standing around and talking next to that scorer and see if he/she disagrees with someone "claiming" they saw a piece.

    OH, sorry mister I didn't see it. Dead and Dead. Next shooter please.

    That's OK son, we're here to help.:rolleyes:

    I'm not talking about some little local course. I'm talking about a Zone shoot with top shelf targets at one of the finest courses in the country. Bigger the shoot? Bigger the prize, bigger the cheat.

    User1, me thinks you read something into Par 4's post that isn't there. I think l I might have missed something myself.

    User1 states the prez is a "target claimer and that claiming a target for yourself or one of your pals is cheating (I agree) and that the ata faithful "lemmings" haven't come to his defense.

    THEN, Par4 states that it was a good thing User1 defined "target claiming" as cheating because some people in the NSSA apparently didn't know that.

    I don't see the rub between you two.

    Am I missing something?

    Click his link for "lemming" ...... then go back and read it all again ......

    A childish attempt to imply the misuse of "lemming" .....

    Par4 only used "NSSA" ..... so no doubt he was referring to "The National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) is a surfing association in the United States." ..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Scholastic_Surfing_Association .....

    "the association was formed with the purpose of uniting amateur surfers from around the country under one competitive association" .....
    it seems Par4 travels to the west coast, so this should be the "NSSA" that would be of interest to him .....

    You sir, are an excellent reader. You must have studied well.

    Ok, I'll play
    ONE, you want to imply that I have to read something twice because I don't understand the first time.
    Once in awhile I do. But in this case it was pretty clear. You sounded confused.
    TWO, I was the one that first used lemmings on our site so I didn't have to read anything twice
    THREE, if you mean YOUR use of the definition was childish, them I agree with you there
    FOUR? You don't want to get into some silly sarcasm match with me. I'm way too good at it

    Actually never went to collage. Private HS but no college. Went into the mill 6 months after graduation. 12 years and US Steel pulls the pin and tells us all
    Sorry, don't need ya anymore.
    Now those 12 years were an education. AND while working there I was able to shoot every night of the week and make every weekend registered shoot, 3-4 state shoots and a week at Vandalia. The Golden years!
    What I do try to do is read something and if I'm not sure I know what someone is trying to say I read it again. If I still don't know I ask them. That way I don't go off half cocked and end up looking silly.

    Maybe to some who feel the content of a thorn-in-side website could be better controlled by the tactics in that article .....

    Nothing wrong with telling folks you attended ISU. It is entirely up to you if you tell them it stands for Independent Study University. Some of the best and brightest studied there.
