Many of us remember visiting Vandalia and the ATA Hall of Fame always seemed to be on our bucket list. Sure it was cramped and seemed a bit...
Send 'em your money and see how many they'll sell you at $400/10,000 I'll take 500,000 at that price. SCAM!
If you're over 70 yo you'll die before you ever see a change in the old boys' network. By that time Elysburg will look like Vandalia today. We can...
I see those for $345/5,000. I don't ship primers as they're considered HAZMAT.
Shydas Outdoor Center in Lebanon PA or Richland Shooters Supply in Richland PA. Must be purchased in cases of 10,000.
Cheddites are a no-no in a Krieghoff and Noble Sports are closer to $50 plus change in PA.
Primers are not everywhere-at least like the kinds we like at a price we can afford.
I don't have to name who those top All-Americans are but they vowed never to return because the place is so unfair-meaning damn difficult. We don't...
Rog, we've had quite a few top ATA All-American trapshooters visit PA and leave with their tails between their legs. We wouldn't know what a fluffy...
Rog, who were these "men of honor"? I've been around this ATA game since '72 and all I can recall is a bunch of bums. I'm scratching my head to...
If The ATA removes all the users, drunks and womanizers most shoots will be cancelled. Are we saying it's necessary to sign onto the Boy Scout Motto...
Some people claim small trap clubs in their state are doing great running meat and money shoots and care less what that book of suggestions (the ATA...
Maybe it's about time to gather the delegates at the annual meeting and have the rule book declared null and void. It's obvious some here either...
They're doing that now-turning down legal targets.
No one ever walked the line at Marengo unless you forgot or were too cheap to rent a cart. We didn't walk the line very often in PA either as we had...
Rog old buddy, show us the paragraph in the ATA official rulebook that says you can't.
So, you did or didn't set 3-hole targets at Cardinal Center all those years you and Brad claim to set targets. You already know it's within the rules...
Of course, Smithy is wrong again. I know for a fact the PSSA put their targets in the 3-hole for one year and I even encouraged it. That said,...
Our late guru on target setting-the much-maligned Sir Neil often said distance and angle have the most effect on long yardage shooters. So, we might...
Let's try this again Don. Draw a diagram showing how it's not possible to increase an angle and not have it closer to a post 5 long distance...
Gosh, sometimes I wish Sir Neil was still alive. The break point for Handicap reductions was around 87%. Simple math indicates the average of all...
First of all I couldn't break a 100 from the fence and neither can you-even in the one hole. In case you were alive then you'd know 3-hole targets...
Can we please stop spreading this horse manure! This crap was offered up as a means to justify the constant march to the “all straightaways”...
I'll take it for $1,500. Where to send payment
I remember when lower handicap scores paid well too. That said, most of us shot 870's, 1100's and Model 12's with a sprinkling of others. When we...
Widening the angles brings 'em closer to back-fence shooters. Maybe that's why Kay Ohye's handicap average went UP .5% the year of mandatory 3-hole...
It turns out to be a novelty for a few weeks and quickly forgotten. Spend the $825 for drinks at the club bar for a better ROI!
Replacing current traps with wobbles is not cost effective.
The last time I shot wobble with Frank Little he broke all 25 with one shot. A 2-3-4-5 hole event with one shot is a better option.
$90/case of Fiochi light #8. I sold 25 cases today.
Saving money to make Cardinal Center an offer they can't refuse.
Remember to use those drops faithfully before and after the surgery. Don't be like a fellow trapshooter who went out and bailed hay the day after...
Rog, in a few more years we'll all be dead and now we can't even get anyone interested in taking over the existing gun clubs. The only thing we...
Wanna bring money back into the game just make options mandatory. Within a year most clubs would go bankrupt. Heck, there's plenty of live bird...
No Rog, other shooters complained about top shooters in class AA that they didn't feel they stood a chance of beating-hence the ATA tried to...
Rog, AAA shooters like Ohye, Stafford, Bonillas, Munson or Little among many were carrying those 99+ Singles averages for decades-even in the...
Dave, great idea. Make that proposal to your Ohio delegate and have him bring it up at this year's meeting!
Great, how many State or Zone shoots are they holding?
People shoot where they can break good scores-always did.
Dave, you and I have been around a long time. We were there when those small clubs threw ATA targets when it was profitable. Each small club in our...
Rog, the rulebook allows clubs to throw 51 yd targets and any width beyond a two hole. If club managers thought wider, longer targets would make more...
My POI is just as high after surgery as before, Plenty of things affect an individuals preferred POI and 100% high at least works for many. Please...
Rog, maybe you should admit there are virtually no 100's in handicap from any yardage below the 27 yd. line. They've been breaking those 100's for...
Next Smithy is gonna tell us the story again of Frank Little's shells that were specially made for him at over 1,300 fps. He knows because his best...
So Smithy, where did you shoot all those 3-hole targets and are they still throwing 'em? I've only been shooting Trap since 1963 and the last club in...
"Shorter", actually the old rule book mandated 48-52 yards. The new one now reads 49-51 yards. Explain "shorter". I doubt one yard difference is all...
We should also ask how many 100's are broken from yardages below 27 yards?
Rog, what difference did wider angles make to top shooters?
Rog, the 27 yd line was meaningless then along with 3-hole targets. I'm sure you remember many of those top shooters just like I do.
