I live in a state with a "He/She/It" as governor. Another has decided to run for US House of Representatives. Awards are given nationwide for...
Jake, Going to load trap 2 with white birds again....... as we will need to order birds soon we might as well shoot up the BIO and get white pitch....
Jake, we do much the same in Wallowa........ mostly we jus shoot together....... someone picks a handicap distance and folks join in and shoot...
We have never had a shooter complain or comment on our angle....... they just shoot. Bit of grumbling from time to time about speed and height... We...
It would seem then that "cleaning ones own house first" might be in order...... If I can figure out how to do it I might change a trap to "3 hole"...
I don't know but I suspect that just might be the case most everywhere Jim...... there are 5 clubs in this little corner of the state, only 2 of them...
If that be the case, and it is the wish of a majority of those involved why not push for a change on a local level rather that trying to get a non...
Agree with all the input above but it appears waiting for ATA to make any changes along the line of what this forum is suggesting is probably...
Why? Seems ATA states maximum weights and speeds..... where do the rules say " you shall shoot........"? Larry
ATA shoots follow ATA rules......... Could a club holding a registered event mandate 1oz loads as a max? Or 1150 fps as a max? Larry
Cabelas had a sale a few weeks ago on Winchester Heavy Game 12 gauge, 7.5 shot ,1 1/8, 1220 (?) fps........ $40 per flat. Free freight over $50....
It is your concern about keeping your weapon clean and serviceable that will serve you the best.... whatever product you choose to use it will only...
Small quantities of Eds Red can be purchased from Brownell and others. There are all sorts of alternatives, some are better and some are not...
ATF fixed with Acetone is great for removal of plastics from the bore...... not so great perhaps on carbon deposits but a bit of brushing will handle...
My 9000H would "snap" when loading Gun Club's. Not so much on the once fired but when they had been loaded 2 or 3 time... My son experienced the...
I shoot a 101 Diamond Grade supposed to be from the 2nd or 3rd year of production..... I am the 4th owner. The gun has probably had every...
OMG, I am going to have to fess up to........ making a mistake ........... I know, I know, hard to believe but yes I did. I have my 9000H equipped...
While looking at my Lyman manual I noticed that consistently the WJ wad with near identical powder/primer combinations registers a significantly...
Received a flat of the Gold Medal Grand, 1200fps version, for a birthday gift.... GREAT. Shot a couple boxes and when I ran them through the 9000H...
Can't help with the nationwide stuff but a few of us in the 4 or 5 Eastern Oregon Counties over the last 2 (?) years have brought about 125 high...
Mike J....... I am sure you find it interesting when we start beating up on each other just because we can but as you see, there is lots of...
Mike J, I suspect you are not the only one "don't use those exact loads". Searching this and other sites will reveal many loads and powders not in...
cwtech........ The smallest club in this region has (as a guess) about 100 members, the rest are probably about 150 each. A large percentage are...
Clubs in my area are all small........ basically 4 or 5 folks do the "volunteer" stuff and everything else....... just the way it is. 4 or 5 work,...
Very good question...... at the few registered events I have attended seems that folks are able to enter at most any time. Here there is quite a bit...
Oregon has a very active, state wide program of High School trap shooting, seems there are about 500 enrolled this year. Three clubs in this NE...
Might depend on how many times you would reload/resize and what hull being used. Most straight wall hulls are a metal base, some sort of base wad...
Often I find that violation of the rules is due to lack of knowledge of the rules........ that goes for shooters and score keepers. I am going to...
N1H1, I have done so several times, as have others. He is an otherwise great guy but places his own interpretation on this issue........ Rules are...
Only been shooting a few years, joined ATA and PITA.... read the rule books, even think I understand some of what I read. Its interesting to watch a...
I reload, because I choose to and because without exception I have always lived in an area where "store bought" anything is not always possible. When...
Talked with Mike a day or so before he died. He was so sorry he was going to miss the Camas Prairie shoot. He said it was the first one he would...
A shooting friend bought 10 flats of the Rem Clay and Field. He had read up on them and shot several boxes just to test and when a dealer had a sale...
Remington is offering the "Clay and Field" with the steel base, I understand the green STS is on the way out? My guns seem to handle most anything...
Nitro's and STS are still brass. I would suggest you buy a few boxes of one or the other and not modify your gun. Several places were offering GM...
Is it on the "exempt" list? First step in telling you what you cannot have is a listing of WHAT YOU CAN HAVE. Pages and pages of BS put together by...
Brings up a good point Roger..... Does the ATA have a legislative action group? If not perhaps they need one. The most terrible portion of this...
To me it would not matter if they made an exemption for every gun I own......... No SOB has any right to tell me what can be mine and what cannot...
Ever consider your Gracoil qualifies as a collapsable stock along with many others now in use? You bet, let the damn Democrats pass it cause it does...
While fussing and fuming about ATA etc you better take time to examine House Bill 5087......... Take a quick look at what the House of...
In NE Oregon we have 3 high schools creating "trapshooting" as a school backed activity. Wallowa County is combining kids from their 3 county high...
As long as I am using a wad built for the hull and stack height I am after I have found if there is a problem with almost anything I caused it.........
It seems to me, reading the various posts from those practicing reloading, most have the same experience with the companies that make the...
I suspect than they go by "no need for information, they buy anyway"........ I get concerned when answers to simple questions are avoided. Larry
Always a good idea to inspect hulls before stuffing with powder and primer's. I eventually settled on two hulls for reloading. Federal Gold Medal...
True David but that did not include testing of shot in the Federal "Grand". Larry
I find it interesting a Rep that knows nothing about the content of "lead" could say it will not damage a shotgun barrel. I suppose it really is a...
That seems to be the consensus. It seems that an adversarial relationship is mostly what exists between shooting and the ATA on a national level and...
WPT, Agreed......... when first attempting trap I played with chokes.....powders.........shot sizes....... wads....... everything I read about and...
Perhaps Joe, N1H1,Flyers or WPT have information on a question this thread has popped into my head. Only been shooting trap for 6 years..... reloaded...
