I have purchased quite a bit of the Eagle shot when Cabela's had the lower price and free freight. I load 8's in new shot and the first couple...
If all your hulls were originally fired in your gun you could probably skip the step. Consider though whether using one or two piece hulls that even...
Don't know what state you are in but Oregon does have numerous clubs on the West side of the state along the "I5 corridor" as that is where 90% of...
For two years the state shoot was split between LaGrande and Medford........ I had to drive 6 miles, last year it was totally in Medford and that was...
At this point I have a very limited source of answers as I only talked to two or three of the shooters that have not renewed. I suspect though that...
In visiting with a few shooters it seems the issues revolve more around the Oregon State ATA than at the national level. Seems that most will be...
I would suspect that procedure resulted in the "spare time" allowing the shell loading activity? Larry
The primary club I attend has a registered ATA shoot in about a month. To prepare for signing shooters up I took the list of competitors from last...
The providing of information based on experience is not an "I told you so" or even anything remotely close to that. If one has any desire to see...
Next time I am in Wallowa I will check the newspaper date for sure...... I have seen several sources that indicate they were discontinued in the mid...
I have never tried NuLine, I have purchased new WinChoke's from "jerry's attic" new firing pins and springs from Midwest and the ejector hammer,...
A little over a year ago a dear friend passed and left me an early Diamond Grade Unsingle Trap. A cocking hammer broke, a firing pin needed...
I totally agree with that Oleo, there was more than one shooter wanted to change the birds after the wind came up. At this particular range a "tail...
We checked our trap two for "old" angles Sunday and found that is what it is throwing, used our radar gun to set speed and the T bar for...
Shot arrived, came from 3 different locations freight free, $36...... packaged extremely well with paper filler and bags wrapped in bubble wrap, no...
My latest shot order from Cabela's arrives today. UPS guy gonna get a workout. This time it was packaged one bag per box instead of two bags per...
Here they are exactly the same..... call the shoot any thing you want but the traps stay the same. PITA shoots do seem much easier as far as...
Thanks Bat, I will get out pencil and paper n stuff and figure out the difference in barrel movement or maybe DS has the amount already figured. I...
I took a look at the ATA rule book and I supposed they were legal. My curiosity was "tweaked" by Doc's original post. My observations of angle were...
We do not have anyone complaining about the targets in Wallowa as long as we keep the trap centered. Seems trap 2 tends to gravitate to the right a...
We use the radar gun and a T bar, we are basically shooting straight aways from 1 and 5 at 42mph. Does that equate to Doc's 3 hole targets? If so I...
We do have a 50 yard stake but we use the radar gun in Wallowa for setting spring tension for registered events, with a wind in our face it is at the...
A question gentlemen, The qualifier for 3 hole is straightaway from post 1 and 5 ?? Last night I checked the angle from 1 and 5 at the second club I...
Should not be a problem to put up some actual number comparisons...... Find a little range like most here shoot at and tell them what you want to...
Cabela's is running their free freight program again on orders over $99 with a 10% discount........ Puts Eagle shot at $36 per bag...
Just did a very quick review of Lymann 5th edition. Numerous one ounce loads are near, at, or over 10,000psi. Some 7/8 loads do the same. Did not...
Been shooting trap for 4 or 5 years. I shoot about 1000 rounds a month average. I had a failure with a new 1100, the gun figured out a way to fire...
You are certainly in the right part of the world to buy shot...... Wallyworld still at $50, gun club still at $43, Cabelas offers Eagle Magnum for...
No doubt the Ponsness Warren is a top end machine but for 5000 rounds a year it is a bit "over-kill". Premium shells locally cost about $9, I reload...
We do not see the variety of brands locally that are common elsewhere. The Walmart/Federal offerings are quite common and recently the Winchester...
It would seem the price of shot is at least stabilizing a bit. I was in a WalMart store a few days ago... one bag of shot...... $49.99 so it also...
Try some Vectan AS for your Remington auto. For straight wall hulls 19.2 grains for 1 1/8oz for the tapered hulls 18.3 for 1 1/8. BPI lists a ton...
My process is much simpler than yours Gary, My 16 yard are Nitro27, FIO primers, windjammer wad, 1 1/8 #8 shot with 18 grains of Vectan AS. My...
A year or so ago I watched Daro show the folks how its done and he was using the 1100 Trap. Lots of things have changed with the trap game but to...
Found a new issue yesterday, I am using my 9000H to load 400 shells for an 11 year old trapshooter, he shoots well and loves the game. His Dad...
Thanks HistoryBuff, I really found this interesting as LaGrande Oregon is hosting its first registered PITA shoot this weekend. I have shot a couple...
And I am 74. I will not put a limit on the number of years I will remain to fight but there is no quit here. Just as with the list of Historic...
Obama has no vested interest in the United States. I can understand trips to enemies of old to try to build a better future but his continual...
As a nation we have a chance to start working our way out of the black hole economically and socially with the election of Trump as President of the...
Cabela's special....... $36 on orders over $99, I received an order yesterday and it looks and measures fine. Local price $49 at the Mart stores and...
Tell us a bit about "Merlo".
I suspect the document would need to be reviewed in its entirety before a substantive critique can take place. Larry
Lets see now, if the ground is higher at 50 yards then one must dig a hole and drop the bird in the hole? Hmmmmmmmmm. New form of golf??? Hole in...
Ours is calibrated by the Sheriffs department....... Larry
The Wallowa Oregon trap field is much like you describe, using the posts as a starting point the traps are elevated about 30" to be on the same...
Thought everything started with the level of the stations....... everything else set to them.......... Larry
Too few of today's people remember what Grandpa or Dad taught them, in many many cases they might not even know who Grandpa and Dad might be. On your...
Some folks are just slobs, some just do not know any better. One local idiot thinks its cool to break open the gun and let the hull fly over his...
Several years ago I used to make the trip to Colfax Washington to purchase Blue Duster wads from a gentleman that shot trap and was a supplier of...
My Competition Synthetic is .740", My Diamond Grade 101 unsingle is .750". For the most part I reload the Gold Medal or French Estate and use the...
