SPARTA GRAND

So, is everyone going this year?

 

You Bet!

 

if i am not there, go ahead and start without me.

 

I'll be there.

 

Yes

 

Well, one of those 3 doesn’t have a choice since he actually works there, and with the other two going that should put the total for the GAH day right around what?

 

I bet somewhere every weekend.

 

That should put the GAH day right around what? Isn't the GAH the largest handicap event in trapshooting? If not please let me know where the largest is so i can attend.

 

The attendance last year seemed to be smaller that usual. The sidewalks in front of the hard buildings used to be more jammed with people walking about. Last year not so much. We wanted to demo a couple of guns, and they closed the practice trap early to set up some kind of fireworks display. What a joke...

 

The GAH is smaller than it was during the Korean War.

The SCTP Handicap is much larger. The high school handicap event in Michigan is bigger.

What is the surprise? The ATA paid big money to have the members surveyed. They didn't listen to the survey. The WSRC is hardly supported by Illinois. Not my fault!

 

I should have been more specific, I want to SHOOT in the big Handicap events not be a spectator.So where is the largest handicap event in trapshooting each year, that adults can also participate? I did not like the move to Sparta either but it was 20 YEARS AGO. I was over it the first time stepped onto the CARDINAL CENTER property 20 YEARS AGO. The 50s, 60s and 70s are not coming back no matter how much we want them to.

 

If “everyone” is somewhere around a pathetic 1800-1900 shooters in what was once the greatest event of the year? Then yeah, “ everyone “ is going

 

People who know me, know that I'm not cheap but spending $3.00/per event to IDNR is pure thievery; The ATA has enough cash to cover the IDNR fees @ Sparta!!!
