Hey Brad, we need a book. How about "Evolution of a Trapshooter"? The book would have a chapter dedicated to good living shots, example: Dysinger,...
The young guns did good today.
I like to watch the 27 yard scores to see how a shoot is going. They have completed five handicap events at the current shoot and I can only find two...
"Asking for a friend". How much money does OH Trapshooting have in the bank? They have been hosting large shoots forever and their fees are not low....
How do you kill a cardinal? Make them look south to see a target.
My sources tell me that Mr Fishburn offered to put in 9 additional banks, build a new campground & maybe even a hall of fame building. I would guess...
Just some facts here: pick up a new gun with a different trigger speed and you will have trouble for a few shoots. BUT, after a few shots (maybe as...
Those were the days my friend.(68-69) [IMG]
My wild guess "blue".
I do agree. Now that Brad reminded me I remember when some clubs would set 47-48 yard targets. It was easier to shoot goods scores on short targets...
When did the easy targets start? Many clubs were shooting them in the 1980's. So for the purpose of evaluating Grand Slams I'm going to use Mr. Bob...
Good point. The current easy targets started about 25 years ago. Since then six 27 yarders have won the Grand American Handicap. That's 24%.
Exactly, in the past 63 grands 27 yarders have won more than 14% of the grands.
You finally got it right. Maybe the suckers are staying home while the prima donnas shoot banks 2 &3.
IMO OH has never been non-resident shooter friendly & I have shot some of their shoots going back 30 years. My last trip to their state shoot was in...

Some shoots are going up and some are going down. Last ten Handicap Championships. PA is blue. [ATTACH]
Cool!
ATA should outlaw automatics and release triggers.
Current rule for doubles: In doubles shooting, targets shall be thrown not less than 44 yards nor more than 46 yards. If set "a little soft" they...
You guns are full of it. It most certainly could be made to fit. If Allem could make K80 barrels fit I'm sure someone could make an MX barrel fit a...
Some of us did OK with those targets. Little won with 200, I won with 100 & Huber beat Little with 50 to 49 shoot-off after 96's in the 'caps. The...
Nonregistered winter shoot: I tried 3.25 1.25 copper 7.5's one time from the 27. They made too much noise and the squad was asking "what are you...
Thanks Brad, hope all is well!
"The Brad" need to update the charts thru 2018.
Maybe they attended the Grand and didn't shoot.
Never to late, get one started. Name me as administrator and I'll make sure that Big Dave gets some of the money.
1954 FROM 25 YARDS more than 5000 targets AR 93.53% DO 90.89 JULIUS PETTY 94.06 1500 targets Al Ljutic 93.63 1900 targets
In 1956 Dan Orlich was high with 91.04% Now I gotta go look for the 1954 book to see why they made the 27 yard line. My comments about 1955 are...
George Newmaster was high in singles (more than 5000 targets) with a 98.30%. Reigger had about 98.60% on more than 4000 less than 5000 targets.
I just pulled the 1955 average book and looked at the high handicap average, 91.92%. In 1955 the ATA thought it needed two more yards because someone...
Better watch it "Dave", you're starting to sound like a Democrat saying we need more regulations. Trapshooting is what it is. Making some old fart...
I've only been shooting for 47 years & must be a little slow. I can't understand why anyone would turn down a reduction and I can't understand why...
Mike J. Can you break 95 and above now in 'caps? Wider angles may lower the 27 yarders score 5%- 10%. So the 27 yarders that have a good day will...
The rule was never enforced during my time shooting (1972 - 2018). No wish to separate out anyone, just thinking that the people being supported by...
Nice report "history buff".
I'll check this out when I get home and have access to my average books (I have all of them). I think for most of the ATA's history (and it was...
Why do you say that? What changes has he made in his run for VP? Most of them go brain dead when they put on a "state delegate" hat. If they rock the...
Where is "history buff" when you need him? Back in the beginning they had "pros", did they shoot for the same trophies & money as armatures? The pros...
Good point.
I gotta tell this story. I was shooting from the 27 at the PA State Shoot this year. On one of the early events I just jumped on a squad with people...
It seems that no one will talk "shells". Why are you all afraid of 1200 fps??
I forgot about guys like you. I made the 27 about 43 years ago, but have not been there every year.
But Dave, "I want to shoot with my friends we are all big guns on the 27 with 84 averages". Besides "I'll earn yardage and be back of the 27 in a few...
Move them back, straight back to prevent "cross calls" no concrete needed. Just paint a line on the ground. Changing the target settings will lower...
No way to make someone that has not learned how to shoot competitive.
Maybe go back to 1200 fps ammo. The hot loads that Dr. LS uses are part of the problem.
I need to look up the highest averages for 1954 the year they went from 25 to 27 yards was 1955.
No good. This will make everyone shoot lower scores. I need yards off or the big dogs need yards on. Do that and any target setting will work.
