Columbus, just keep shooting for points and trinkets while the real men from that so called by-gone era shot for cash. Trust me, you're not qualified...
100 straight was high while a 99 also came in. The shooter who broke the hundred shoots low gun and is a quite proficient Sporting Clays shooter....
From an old timer with 53 years of experience and a former shoot manager: 3-hole targets mostly disappeared from Trapshooting in the 70's We even...
I'm interested in seeing the results from a club in PA that held a 4-hole target non-registered shoot this past Sunday. 20 squads shot 'em-about the...
3-hole targets are not faster-just wider. The biggest complainers about 3-hole targets were the marathon shooters. Most shooters then didn't know...
I agree-it is kinda fugly.
Under-handicapped pros and money punches finished option playing. Now we're left with a bunch of social shooters partying in their campers and...
Let's just say even a "Godfather's" protection only lasts so long and when a subordinate steps over the line once too often he's properly fitted with...
There were likely over 1,000 shooters in that event and it was unlikely those two squadmates ever knew Dave prior to entering.
Roger, I know two people from that squad who's integrity shouldn't be in question. Let's just say the suspension may have been a long time coming!
Well, one of my buddies got a 5 year suspension for putting a line referee up against the wall at the Grand in Vandalia. It seems he informed the ref...
We used to shoot for money now it's points and trinkets. Where have we gone wrong?
Funny how a member was recently suspended two years for foul language around a scorekeeper but never offered the opportunity to reduce his suspension...
MR. Shaeffer is banned from the PSSA grounds for 2 years.
I doubt most members of the EC would be willing to sit in the same room with Mr. Shaeffer Jr. if he was more than a bit upset.
Needless to say, I was there, discussed the incident with two of the complainants and suggested they pay Mr. Klinger a visit given the circumstances....
The last time the ATA asked for our input they did the opposite of what we decided.
Funny thing, I was at a local ATA shoot this weekend. Plenty of short yardage squads and very few at long yardage. Seems like the ATA screwed up...
Me too!
If throwing guns and shell bags eliminated one from All-American status then a former many times female team member wouldn't have made the grade for...
One of the letters Dave is supposed to write to a supposedly offended individual will end up in the dead letter office. That squad mate will be...
T Shot, you didn't have to drive to Vandalia. You simply could have flown there. Yes, there was an airport directly across from the traps-another...
Shoot singles? That's nearly what the "big dogs" consider the 27 yd. line!
Wow, the powers at the top decided the 18 yd. line will soon be abolished. What a tremendous decision. Let's take away one yard from those...
As this group gets older while continuing the current power structure we're likely see more proposals for shorter, narrower targets than wider ones.
Already did. Went from a K-80 to a livelier SX-1. Bring 'em on!
My hurting hip said "sit down son"!
Not to worry. The GAH Handicap winner is completely legit. Our future ATA president, Terry Dean, claims to have rooted out all the sandbaggers from...
I was looking for him all week but he remained incognito!
Sorry. Some squad from VA decided each trap on bank 4 needed a re-set. One claimed they were too slow (app. 42.5 MPH) said the gun while another...
Vandalia, live birds, guns, Sparta, great payoffs, trinket shooters, shooters no longer and others long gone. We about covered a few subjects.
Something clicked as he tied for the sub-junior handicap event with a 94 but lost the shootoff. Maybe next time.
You're right-not all the best but certainly the most!
The ATA wouldn't allow it!
Congratulations to our new Grand American champion David W. Elder. 100 straight form the 22 yd. line. All this fine shooting from a shooter having...
Oops, you're right about one thing. When Krieghoff designed the K-80 it was marketed first on the East coast. Afterall, that's where most of the best...
Gee, an honest assessment from someone who was actually there. Remind me again why I have no desire to go to Sparta! Thanks!
Whatsamatter, too far to drive? Yeah, I feel your pain. That's why I fly to any shoot over 8 hrs. away. My idea of fun is NOT spending my free time...
FYI, the 'dawg spent many years shooting at Vandalia-warts and all. That said, it must be pretty hard defending a venue in your home state where you...
It's OK win101. You're reminding me of a moderator on another site who never shot a target beyond the borders of MT but bans any and all for...
Sure, but it wasn't always that way. I seem to have forgotten people no longer like to gamble-except casino revenue is climbing in many. Just keep...
64% is unusually high as 50% players in the old days was the standard!
Since event 14 this year is Doubles I'm sure you meant event 13-Handicap. That breaks down to 47% played the Lewis 18% played the 25's 16% played...
I'll tell you exactly who put out that prize money-it was us. We did it while shooting 870's 1100's and Model 12's. We didn't parade around with...
Simple. The ATA policies catered to trinket shooters and the money players left the game. Since so many more categories and positions were offered,...
Only the best for my buddy Ott.
Great. Does anyone know how to get hold of Dixie?
Anyone at the Grand know if Spolar is vendoring this year. I -believe it or not-broke a major part and I'm needing one asap.
Here's a real safe queen that wasn't fired in nearly 25 years. Included is a factory bottom barrel release trigger, factory Gold Broken Target top...
Bowling is on life support while around 25% of the nations alleys have closed. Golf struggles too. I have no knowledge of tennis.
