Roger, note O, shows that 7 of the 10 satellite grands in 2016 had a negative net profit. If I understand your comment correctly, all 10 would have a...
Does note O, on page 15 surprise anyone. Note O identifies the revenue, expenses and net change for each of the satellite grands in 2016.
Do the delegates realistically have the authority to provide effective oversight of the Association and the Executive Committee?

Yes, there are many ways this data could be sorted. For starters, I would like to see the distribution of the winners of handicap events broken down...

Neither punishment or reward. I would say it reflects a handicap system that is not working very well and is completely broken once a shooter reaches...
HB, I don't know how you find the articles and information that you post such as Shooting Ballistics, but I am sure glad you do.
How do you define them in the context of your post? Thank you,
My bad again. I meant to say: in the last 64 Grand American Handicap's, 9 shooters who shot from the 27 yard line or 14 percent won the event. I...
My bad, I meant to type from 1989 to 2008 - sorry.
HB, thanks for the these numbers. So, in the last 64 Grand American Handicap's, 9 shooters who shot from the 27 yard shooters or 14 percent won the...
Thanks User 1, that made my day!
Great post!!!
Josh, a grand slam is something to be proud of. Your unwillingness to tell us the year you completed your grand slam speaks volumes.
Josh, I already looked at the names who have completed a Grand Slam before I asked you for the year. I didn't see a Josh Randall listed on the ATA...
Mike, I have posted before that at least 40 percent of the shooters have a 16 yard average of less than 90 percent. You could have this group stand 1...
Josh, are kidding? You really don't remember the year you completed your Grand Slam. Here's a link to the ATA website that list the name and year of...
Josh, what year did you get your Grand Slam?
Why not? Anyone can be an event champion in a 16 yard singles event or a 16 yard doubles event if they don't shoot for category and break more...
Then replace the word Handicap with 27 Yard Singles and use the class system like16 yard Singles and Doubles uses. Everyone shoots from the 27 yard...

Are you kidding? The BOD, EC and ED do not believe in transparency. They operate on a need to know basis only.
Brad, I agree. The EC and ED are way in over their heads but unwilling to admit it. They don't have a clue on how to stop the bleeding and put the...
Brad, I mean no disrespect, but when you were making enough money to break even or better, what percent of the ATA shooters would you guess did not...
Brad, I agree with oleolliedawg, hunting small game is long gone so no need for those hunters to get out and practice.
Thanks for the links User 1. As a sample, I picked some states in the Central Zone because it was N1H1 who said a new shooter base would need to be...
There are many reason why there are less trapshooters and less ATA trapshooters than there were during the peak years. The BOD, EC and the ED are not...
Brad, do you feel the same way about Mr. Hunter and all the others who have donated their money to the ATA over the years?

Mike, 40 percent of the shooters have an average of less than 90 from the 16 yard line shooting two hole targets. Wouldn't you expect their averages...
I agree. Which group of shooters will wider angles hurt the most?
The handicapping system that is off the tracks. Sorry I wasn't clear.
Would the handicap events would stay the same?
I agree there is no silver bullet. If you were starting a new trapshooting organization, what would it look like in reference to the events available...
