Times changed and no new organization can reverse the decline in ATA Trapshooting's numbers. Once upon a time changing target standards was tried, it...
Brad, the targets were made easier in the 80's. Take someone to a trapshoot today and he's probably embarrassed to show off his Mossberg 500 or home...
Brad, 90% of the shooters we started with are dead. It happens.
Brad, most of those guys quit or died. Afterall, the average number of years a new shooter participated in ATA Trap was always estimated to be around...
Manetta is moving out West and both still shoot Trap.
Right hand
Divorce encourages the sale of this Beretta 682 Gold E Trap Combo. Barrel lengths are 34" and 30". Comes complete with case and chokes. Shows some...
Just in is this beautiful Caesar Guerini Summit 34" Unsingle with case. Pull trigger, LOP as shown is 13 5/8" with plenty of adjustment both ways...
I cannot name any top local trapshooters that gravitated to Sporting Clays. Most Sporting shooters were average Joes that never came close to...
Very good points Don. I like how you think. Points 2, 3 and 5 are well taken. I'm just a duffer Sporting Clays shooter and have no interest in...
And 95% of the participants go home empty handed. Kinda like trap unless you count flashlight trophies and other trinkets. Maybe we should ask Rick...
Maybe you should ask yourself where all that prize money is coming from? Raise the price of a bag of wads .25 and trapshooters threaten to quit....
So, my dear friend Roger shot 67,125 fluffballs between 1996 and today and never broke a respectable Singles average. I failed to see in the ATA...
Yes, it is. Those of us who started shooting back in the 60's when we were kids and carried our rifles to school for rifle club remember how...
BTW Roger, please don't quit now. A few more years of trying and you might soon carry higher singles averages than mine. Then again, probably not.
The organization is still in the planning stages. I'm sure as soon as they elect a full slate of officers multiple states will be eager to join and...
Elated never-realistic always. Besides, I always shot the more difficult targets on the East coast not Mid-west fluffballs and then complain the...
So, moving the Grand to Sparta destroyed Trapshooting? Anything else? Our little Winter Trapshooting league went from 830 shooters in 1977 to 355...
I'm banned from mentioning 2-3-4 or 5 hole anymore but how's that new organization that was proposed 30 years ago coming along? I'll propose a...
On the internet no one knows you know nothing and can't back up anything you profess to know.
Alright David, what title will you accept in the new organization since President is already taken? Weren't you one of those that ran around talking...
The "two mulligan rule" was just a bit of common sense. Dragging some bubble gum chewing 15 yo female off the bench to test someone's firearm for not...
In case you don't remember the vote was nearly unanimous by the delegates to vote to "ruin" the organization.
My vote for President! We'd have to do an extensive background check before I'd recommend him for Treasurer.
Maybe there's a solution. Let's name the new outfit the "Disgruntled Old Former Trapshooters Organization-DOFTO". First, it's important to get a few...
So, in other words no one wants to go back to the era of supposedly what made trapshooting great and no new organization could produce the desired...
So, the solution is simple. Ban any gun that cost over $2,000 from ATA shooting, throw away those voice callers-back to hand pulling, automatic traps...
Well, some members of the governing body certainly did enrich themselves at the shooters expense-not that many of the members ever cared. Occupy the...
Some Super-X's had spectacular wood therefore I'll give them a #1 for appearance.
Stock no longer needed. The gun was sold without one. Thanks everyone.
Something knows something about Model 12's.
Anyone out there have an un-molested factory Blaser Monte Carlo stock for an F3 trap I'd be interested.
Previous owner is pushing 90 yo and finally admits he's done. Up for sale is this Blaser F3 Trap 34"x32" trap combo. Chris Vendel designed a stock...
Looks to me like #1 is the real problem. I'd call Mark Lonczynski at 570-455-6091. He's my go-to guy on Model 12's.
If she does everything right-handed except shooting just have her close one eye. Ask Nora Ross if it's a good idea. This is a very common problem in...
"Trapshooting was a money sport"-agreed-so was live bird. Live bird shooting is on life support and plenty of the few who still participate shoot...
What make of primer?
The first suggestion is the worst case scenario.
May be some wear on the lock groove on the top inside of the receiver. Also check your headspace and you might need to rotate headspace ring outward...
Especially since the corporate sponsorship has mostly drifted to Sporting Clays. Trapshooting is mostly hard work while Sporting is mostly for fun.
I see plenty of old gray-haired men still in leadership positions and on the executive committee-some of whom have been shooting for decades. Younger...
Want a club to lose shooters and money it's easy-just give them a reason not to come. One of the few places to gamble and lose money was in Las...
Serial # 2328.
The previous owner never complained. They say some chambers need a bit of polishing to eliminate the problem.
It's obvious that few of us on here even shot a trap target in the 70's and able to remember that-Roger excluded. Thanks!
I remember that too. I believe it was in the era of Remington 870's and paper wad loaded shells. Anyway, Reg Jackimowski broke one in the late 70's...
The biggest problem with Trapshooting is old shooters who are no longer competitive with nothing to do but complain. The has beens and the never was...
You would need to drop your comb down a bit to allow for the lower standard rib on the 32" barrel. At least I can get you halfway there.
Nope. I traded it away.
I have a 34" standard rib I'd consider trading for a Pro-Rib in excellent condition. PM me if interested. Rib only.
