My bullet maker refuses to use reclaimed shot. He claims too much junk!
Since they decided to run against some of the largest shoots in the country they might be better off re-naming it the Illinois Open. After all, where...
I never thought it that way. The turntable is certainly aluminum. Are you correct? Whatever re-claimed shot does to a PW also is visible in barrels....
Remove the top plate and check the underside. You might be unpleasantly surprised!
I'll betcha you didn't put in a new cast iron top plate too!
I recently received a few Ponsness-Warren reloaders for repairs and as we can see the users of re-claimed shot are doing some real damage to their...
It's always been at least a $500 day for me too!!
Even the grass looks cut too-not like that other place farther West!
I managed a successful club for over 30 years until put out to pasture. Considering it went from full parking lots with most traps running to maybe...
I fail to believe in managing an organization based on opinion polls. First of all, easier targets are today's standard and most of today's shooters...
If you cast a vote remember what the rules were when the game was designed and how it was corrupted later. Then try to remember when trap was the...
As I've said many times the biggest crybabies about the three hole targets the year they were mandated were marathoners. They always demanded the...
Oh, oh, the cat's out of the bag. So it was that Winston guy who advocated easier targets!
One thing for sure the top 100 Handicap averages weren't all 27 yarders!
One of our clubs faces South and visibility can often be an issue. I once pulled for a group of marathoners and started with orange. They complained...
CAC just had a very large shipment come in last week. Ready for the PA State shoot I'd say!
We did a Winter league study at our club-green one week-orange the other. Under identical conditions green produced 2x as many straights. What we...
Bring a fishing rod with catfish bait!
50/50 today in a nice breeze today. 97/100 on Thursday evening-some in near dark. Our love affair continues!
And the targets were removed from the shooter's official records!
Some interesting changes are being discussed by our new PSSA tournament director. Thus far, the four new ways of promoting business could be winners...
Ask my K-80! Since putting together an old SX-1 with Wenig offset stock she's been abandoned like an ex-wife. Who knows how long our enchantment will...
What some fail to admit it's no longer 1890, 1932, or even 1960. We're in competition for recreational dollars from way more venues. Trapshooting has...
The vast majority of the high handicap averages in the country last year were shot from the 27. Simple math shows the majority of today's shooters...
Sorry, I can't agree. The last thing this sport needs is more 80 yo feeble and half blind trapshooters standing on the 27 yd. line breaking 50's/100....
Another quote from our resident wannabe. "I doubt I'd even shoot wobble at current shell prices." 357, you've been exposed as a non-shooting troll....
Here's a few quotes from loser boy smoking357. "I stopped shooting over two years ago. Shells got too expensive." "ATA Trap takes some learning but...
It's also obvious that 357 never managed or attended any trap facility. Even a simpleton would realize the problems associated with throwing targets...
silly 357, there's a much larger group that can't handle what's thrown today. What makes you think attendance will grow if we succumb to your...
All this nonsense from the mouth of a non-trapshooter. Sorry, I'm off to the gun club to hone my craft. You can continue to dream a way to beat...
So if I go over there and break 19/25 while the regular bunker boys break their typical 12/25 they'll all nod in unison (all 5 of 'em) that I'm not...
I tried to shoot bunker at Ontelaunee once but made the mistake of standing downwind from the facility. Phew! The foreigners stench sure cranked up...
Please don't tell us again bunker boys aren't ATA washouts. One of it's biggest promoters and Ontelaunees original organizer couldn't carry much...
I hate to break your heart again but the Ontelaunee bunker hasn't come close to living up to expectations. Those few shooters who participate at...
smoking357, what you fail to admit is bunker boys at most ranges prefer not to keep records of their dismal scores. After all, most are nothing but...
I suppose we can then say the dumbing down of trap began when we eliminated hand pullers and installed electric powered Western V1524's! Anyone...
Yup, much of that old ATA trap was shot over very readable traps where straightening out the angles was the norm or you could simply shoot what was...
With averages like hunter44's he might be competitive if standing on top of a traphouse. Then again, maybe not! smoking357, just so happens I speak...
Look smoking357, when I go to a shoot I prefer to compete against hundreds of shooters-not the 5 or 10 at a typical bunker shoot-most of whom still...
Well, I did defeat the late gold medal bunker shooter winner Don Haldeman in an inferior 16 yd. trap shootoff in 1969. Since you've never...
All those words of wisdom came from the mouth of someone who never participated in any ATA event. With absolutely no track record of any sort his...
"targets of unknown height". Now he wants the ATA to scrap all those standard trap machines and install wobble machines. That oughta really pull 'em...
smoking 357 has never shot a single ATA registered event but thinks it needs some sort of change. His opinion is valueless!
smoking357 has never fired at a single registered ATA target. His opinion is valueless!
One shooter is able to sandbag by the rules while the other sandbags by design. Not much difference there unless the one who uses the existing rules...
Ask Frank Rively!
When the vast majority of 16 yd shooters cannot average nearly as high as top shooters average from the 27 we've got a problem. Unfortunately, we...
Add three yards to the top dogs who've earned 'em. Until then it'll stay a sucker bet anyone with half a brain will avoid. Without increased...
Radar guns are a nice toy and work well over uneven terrain. It's unusual in many locations to have a level field out to the 50 yd. stake. If the...
Anyone who knows anything about target setting already knows it's impossible to see something is 10 yards short while standing 75 yards away. The...
