Jeff, I like how you think. I also spent quite a few years on the 27 and at my age I probably belong on the 21, if I desire to win another belt...
Attendance at the August CC championship events was down 18.09% while attendance dropped at PA a bit over 25%. Neither one could be called a success...
I once shot a wobble event with the late, great Frank Little at a charity shoot run by another former great shooter and Winchester rep John Muir. As...
#1 son was on 4 or 5 All-American sub-junior and junior teams in the early and mid-90's. I know of only one or two that are still shooting. Thousands...
Sparta will be here long after most of the posters "non-shooters alike" are below ground. No, I never went and have no intention of going. It's more...
It must be tough carrying that 90 Singles average and grumbling about losing. It's always better to be a has been than a never was been. Actually I...
I once carried a 92% handicap average and ended up 33rd in the ATA. No one ever accused me of cheating. I must have done something wrong. The...
In 1977 Roger Smith from Kansas average was 94.30, Steve Carmichael from MO averaged 94.13. Not bad shooters and probably won a few Handicaps....
If you intend to get rich at Winchester stay home. The payoffs are not nearly what they were 30 years ago. I know, I was there but they always throw...
YES!
I've been to Winchester this year and many previous years. The people in charge run a great shoot and visibility certainly gets better later in the...
Well Brad, poor old Dan Bonillas was only able to average 95.15 on 8,000 targets from the fence one year. Surprise, that was in 1977. How much did...
Some of us also remember the year 2012 when the ATA gave everyone a 2-yard reduction. Boy, did that have a few big dogs howling. I got my 1-yard...
Brad, who are those money shooters that are left or still shooting ATA targets? The ones I knew are mostly dead or complaining here the reason they...
When I started shooting ATA in 1972 the old South End Gun Club in Reading PA ran around 60 squads in the championship singles event over 12 traps....
Maybe we should ask how many of the chronic complainers ponied up some cash and supported Charnigo and a very interesting event. Afterall, you didn't...
The only thing changed was Cardinal Center and PA attendance dropped, Sparta held its own, hundreds of old shooters died or quit and the biggest...
The triggers are the same for large frame receivers but not sure on function since 16 GA shells are smaller.
I attended both and attendance was down considerably. Tuesday through Thursday at Cardinal, Friday through Sunday at PA. I suggested to the TD to run...
Explain how the ATA can cater to money shooters!
If thousands of kids shoot the SCTP program for nothing but trinkets and are happy what's the problem? The clubs in PA I'm aware of have dropped...
"Unsportsmanlike conduct"-I like that one. Calling dead birds for squad mates is sure getting popular these days. More squads need to be followed and...
Just in today is this one-year-old Caesar Guerini Summit Trap Compact Combo with a 32" Unsingle and 30" O/U barrels. Also included is a installed...
He sure was one of the best.
Doylestown in Bucks Couty PA is not in WV.
Didn't get it.
Make me an offer I can't refuse? I think it might fit a 16 GA.
Still available?

Welcome aboard. Enjoy your stay!
[ATTACH] One thing for sure I was never good enough from the 27 yd. line to ever win anything at the Grand in OH. I left that possibility to real 27...
Names were never mentioned but maybe the poster knows more than I do. I need some enlightenment. Besides, calling someone a cheater obviously has no...
I won't waste my time discussing misplaced funds and trap machines either. Thievery is worse than cheating.
Nope, but it proves I shot targets enough places other than PA to pass judgement on 'em. Quite crying and shoot!
I've shot targets in Ontario, NY, NJ, FL VA, WVA, MD, Vandalia and Cardinal Center (that's as far West as I need to go). The targets were fine at all...
The big money shoots ended when the short yardage shooters left the game and went to the casinos for better odds. BTW, no one got rich playing the...
Western targets must be much too easy since Roger and his best buds keep trying to change 'em. Given the circumstances I wouldn't waste my time...
Roger hasn't shot a "Roger Legal Target" in around 40 years but believes throwing his AZ and UT fluffballs will somehow save trapshooting. No thanks,...
PA Resident high handicap championship score was a 97/100 from the fence by a great junior shooter. All the rest were also rans. I'll betcha that...
Let's see, 824 shooters in PA's Singles championship and 4 shooters broke 199's. No 200's again. High score in the Handicap championship was a 97...
My #1 son was on 4 or 5 ATA All-American teams in the 90's. I know of only one still shooting-Dave Shaeffer. When mommy and daddy stop paying the...
Roger, you must remember that place in Utah where everyone went to pad their averages and get the last leg on their Grand Slams. Shoot much there? We...
Roger, you've been shooting "fluffballs" at most of those locations nearly 40 years and never complained. Now that you can't even break a trap set in...
Roger, we don't shoot AZ fluffballs in PA. We leave those to the has beens and never was beens.
So, maybe there is an answer to making Trapshooting great again. Stop complaining while sitting on the bench and invite a neighbor or friend to...
We offer free shooting in our leagues for the youngsters and few show up anymore. A local club runs a free kids day each year and traditionally...
Well, here we go. PA results are in. 817 entries in the Singles Saturday with 3-100's. Sunday only had 756 entries and only 1-100. How much greater...
What, no 200's on those fluffy Ohio targets. PA should have tremendously increased attendance next week since our targets are much harder. I remember...
The solution is simple. Raise the price of that option to $300 instead of the $75 it used to be. We must account for Bidenflation of course. The...
Younger people buy handguns and AR's-not trap guns. Hating those equals hating the kids that will represent shooting sports future. My advice is to...
