    Twenty six years ago I was inducted into the Trap Shooting HOF in Vandalia, Ohio. It was a proud moment for me as my family, wife and kids, my dad and mom, my sister and many trap shooting friends were there to see it. At the time I thought it was the best. The names of the inductees before me were like the trap shooting gods. Men and woman I knew and shot with, those I'd watched years before I'd ever shot an ATA target and never had shot with on the same squad and those that I only knew about by reading and reputation. A group of individuals that I was very proud to be considered one.

    Looking at that group that went before me and what has taken place since I'm not that proud anymore. An organization (the HOF) that will vote to put in someone that has the moral character to cheat with a felow trap shooters, and spoused friend's. wife but yet keep out a shooter of Daro Handy's TRAP SHOOTING records is indeed broken. The list of Daro's records are legendary, his crimes un proven and only alleged. He was never convicted of anything, violating any rules of the ATA but cursed by quite frankly jealous individuals that couldn't beat him. But yet they (the HOF sellection committee). exclude him every year and put in their friends, buddies, past ATA presidents, donateors, wily nilly to there real trap shooting records. Cheapening the HOF and those that came before.

    I've sat back largely quite the last few years as I don't really care about the ATA at all anymore but I'm going on the record here for all those HOF inductees that came before me and can't speak to the Bull Shit that has become the HOF.

    A few years ago the same shooter going in this year tried to have me thrown out because I had the guts to call out what was going on. Scume does come to the surface it appears. He might remember when he hit on my wife and I shut it down, maybe that's the reason. I'm not that reasonable, I never forget.

    If I'am remembered in the future of that shrinking world called the ATA, if the ATA has a viable future, I hope I'm remembered as that shooter that played by the rules and called out the liars, cheaters, and crooks even if it wasn't popular at the time. I never want to be remembered as one of those that knew the truth but for what ever reason looked the other way, didn't speak up, or pretended not to know. I unfortunately know a lot of these individuals, supposed honorable trap shooters, many even friends. Shame on You.
