You'll be surprised how often the mounting pedestals are not level giving a trap a slight tilt. Right targets will curl in that situation!
What would a new chart and graph have to say about that one?
Make sure the trap is level first!
No one is ever banished anywhere. If you can't break winning scores take the reduction. That's how the system is supposed to work and does for...
It was an effort to thwart trap readers and multiple target turndowns. No longer worth discussing today with voice systems!
We do hold those shoots here at various clubs in PA and sometimes the turnouts are pretty good. Please don't tell me a 5-hole right angle off #5...
Why not create a totally new event with 2-3-4-5 hole targets (increasingly wider targets on subsequent traps). Put in some good options and it might...
Sorry, I can understand some animosity toward the Sparta move but the ATA was up against the wall at the time and even though we all knew it wouldn't...
i aint da smartest guy in da world but im still lookin for dat page. can some body help me"
Having just gone through the winners of the championship handicap events in PA at the last two shoots a blind man can see some obvious trends. Most...
He's a re-incarnate of 221 on the other site. No, he does not shoot Trap but believes we should all convert to 28 GA's to make it more challenging....
Something I call my young son on many occasions!
I'd say it's time to grovel and bear gifts. It's still the most logical alternative. Does anyone wish it wouldn't happen?
I have some good friends and classmates with names on that memorial. May they RIP!
All this brilliance comes from the mouth of a non-trapshooter. I think we've acquired another 221 from the other site. Best to tune out his garbage!
Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you!
No need to. My family are lifers!
Correct me if I'm wrong but when Deb Ohye was having some health issues a few years back I recall she broke 100 straight from the 27 yd. line with 1...
Neil, First of all those clubs without a 27 yd. line dropped shooting ATA targets long ago. They were probably ahead of their time. You already...
Neil, you should already know the smaller clubs were never FORCED to add two yards from the 25 to the 27. In fact, I've visited clubs here in the...
Neil, I see you've never shot in PA. If you did you'd realize the reason for lower scores and I doubt it's air density. Visibility is #1 on the...
PAT traps are here-3 yards are not!
The biggest issue long yardage shooters suffered was hand pulling-not wider targets. Since voice systems were added they just made their lives much...
Kay Ohye's handicap average went UP .5% the year we threw 3-holers. Is anyone foolish enough to believe throwing a wider target is gonna be enough a...
Yup, I got the same program. They priced me out of the flyer circuit!
So the best thing to do is change nothing and pretend the big dogs are not dominating handicap events. Too many people forget Kay Ohye's handicap...
There's how many people in IL but Lynn speaks for 2,000 attendees. Better do a re-think on that one!
Someone's on it!
You can call me anything you like but I'm smart enough to recognize a keyboard warrior who doesn't even shoot trap because he stated shells cost too...
No fear, this boy quit shooting over two years ago when the price of 12GA shells got too expensive. Now we need ditch all our dedicated trap guns and...
And you're the guy who says "he can't afford to shoot 12 GA shells" but recommends we all shoot .410's. Maybe I should post some more of your...
The old Timney speedlocks had a reputation for being real fast. Unfortunately, the addition of the heavy hammer spring would over stress the pot...
All this tremendous knowledge from the mouth of a non-shooter who found boxes of 12 GA shells too expensive for today's WIDE angle targets. Now he...
Put it near the center of the country in an immense cornfield close to nothing. That reminds me of where it's held today!
Why w Why would you care? You're a non-shooter anyway. If you can't afford a box of shells you're not a success story capable of running...
Oh, tell us how many 100's you've ever broken? Maybe I should stick to 25's as it's probably in your ability range!
Oops!
1,105 shooters on Saturday for the PA Singles title-only 4 broke 200. PA is not the easiest place to shoot and doesn't need a tougher target by those...
Two tractor trailers at around $1,200 each is not millions. The trap houses are left for the bulldozers!
1999 had exactly 5,000 GAH entries-100th anniversary!
5,000!
If the place couldn't make a dime in the last ten years what's to say the ATA or anyone else could turn a profit. The place is in no mans land...
Minds change and smart businessmen seek opportunities!
We've already handled a typical Sparta attendance in PA over 48 traps!
Substantially increased attendance would likely be expected if the Grand was held in Ohio. 20 additional traps would definitely be needed!
As in any successful business he who fails to expand or grasp additional options often regrets those missed opportunities!!
My wife says MODERATOR 2 is an angry, insolent a-hole. The oleolliedawg says he sounds perfectly angelic. Opinions please?
This is getting easier for the ATA to make their first smart move ever. With $12,000,000 in the bank it's time to approach Cardinal Center with an...
Would your idea result in more entries-how?
Same!
