I shot the Grand one year with a shooter shooting a right handed 1100 on my left and a shooter shooting a left handed 1100 on my right. I got used...
I agree with you mpolans, I shot an unsingle for a couple of years, real well at 16's, not so good at handicap. I went with a top single and an add...
Sorry to hear about C.E.
I think you can get hung up on choke, pattern is much more important. I had Tommy Wilkinson choke my handicap barrel, with a choke tube that he...
Rookieshooter, I think your talking about Henry Sonders. I may have spelled his last name wrong but EG was always telling me a Henry story. Walt...
ollie I just wonder when these guys lost their gonads. You and I both know of a lot of worse stuff that happened at PA back in the day than what...
I just caught up with the Dave Schaeffer story that I'd missed for the last few months. The irony of the times at the ATA is a wonder. The ATA has...
I talked to Jake today and they were hanging curtains. He said they had about 40 up so far, he thought it would take 500 -550 to do the whole mile...
I'm bumping this to the top for Ed.
Another old timer gone, the big grand is filling up too fast for me, I hope they save me a position 2 or 5. Ed was a trap shooter in the best...
I don't know Jess Smollet. The target claimers though I've know too many. Some even get to be president. That's the nice thing about a pigeon...
Flyersarebest, You reminded me about one year back in the day when I was shooting handicap fairly well and Terry Jordan asked me what my handicap...
It's called math.
Roger I started a page of my own years ago for the ATA I call it "The go F##K yourself ATA" page and it has worked fine for me. 100% ATA fees free...
Good news I just heard that Jesse Smollett will be doing his community service this year at Sparta as assistant tournament director. Gipson can now...
A couple of weeks back Daniel and Jake came up hunting and they said basically what Bruce Gillian reported above, also the Farmstead is being renamed...
When Leo and I first started traveling and shooting together we would talk about "when we would get into the HOF", it was one of the driving factors...
He does have good eye sight though, he always manages to SEE A PIECE.
Pipe Layer was (is) a target claimer so why would anyone be surprised he is claiming ATA members today. Back in the day when I was shooting his...
Williams County had 92 shooters and about 7 grand in their calcutta on Sat. Non Registered of course.
WPT have you been hacked? I haven't seen that many graphs by anyone other than Neil. Thank You I've been wanting a graph for some time now and you...
Sometimes the bastards' win.
All you are reporting Merlo is one of the many reasons I quit shooting ATA and quit Tournament Directing. I will not support the ATA with any of my...
I just wonder if any one on here has heard anything from the ATA about the Anti Gun laws that Illinois is instituting? I know I like to pick on them...
One story I remember reading about Rudy was that he killed five quail on the covey rise with his 870 at a governor's quail hunt in Oklahoma.. I...
Melrose is one mile farther.
Doesn't bother me I don't go to Sparta or New York anymore, along with New Jersey, my old state of Maryland, California, Washington, and a couple...
Don I bought an old 1970's Red Label 20 ga. SK/SK like I hunted with in the late 70's. I could really shoot the other one I had. I show it to you...
I should tell you something about this subject that I don't even think Merlo knows. Last week I was at Jaqua's buying a Ruger Red Label and was...
I think that the Martins may have meant well but by propping up the EC in Sparta their actions have actually had a negative affect on the SPORT of...
I think we need a graph on something right now, don't you Neil?
If someone would have just warned the EC about Illinois before they moved from Ohio none of this would have mattered.
Merlo I know for a fact that one Ohio Fine gun dealer is concerned about this issue, and considering his options. I told him that I read the law...
I could shoot an unsingle fine at 16's but not with any consistency at 27. I would find that a few shots every round I'd shoot off the barrel on...
Two paths to the hall of fame, give millions of dollars to ATA cronies to prop up one location and get voted in. (change time requirements from the...
I've decided that the times call for some serious action and since our President has had to cancel his state of the union address I thought I'd give...
One reason Leo (and me) liked full choke gun was that you could tell what part of the target you were hitting by the way the pieces flew after the...
Very good reading. Thanks.
Roger you forget there are no rules just a book of suggestions.
Once again you the man HB
I talk to Bill Hunter once in awhile on the phone, he and Ruthie gave a lot of ATA memberships and footed the bill for the HOF for years.
HUNTER 44 THIS IS FOR YOU.
That fantastic direction just keeps on going for sparta doesn't it. Larry Ohio has all republican's in office. ATA left us for illinois. Great...
I was told today that the new gov raised the minimum wage to 13 bucks. Trap help got a lot more expensive at sparta if that's the case.
thanks historybuff, you the man.
jbailey, I was with Beretta when we built one of the first sporting clay ranges in the US in 1984 or so in Maryland. In 1995 I built and ran a...
My super X shot 100% high because I had Ed Kline of Millersburg, Ohio bend it up on his lathe with me watching. I killed several 25's and won a few...
The Ohio zone shoots have outlived there usefulness. In the 70's each zone had several clubs with 10 or more traps, today some have none. If you...
You are wrong again.
You are right.
