Lets see now........ plain ol "just Joe" meaning "only Joe" , or perhaps "Just" as in a judge being "Just" , or.......................... Larry
The brass brushes I tried previously on the nickel plated mag tube required prolonged use with heavy force to remove the heavier buildup, I will...
Good morning Steve, I shoot an 1100 Competition Synthetic. A common complaint with trap shooters is the need for constant cleaning with the 1100...
Forgot to include the metering of the powder....... runs through a MEC 9000 with a UCB just great. Most weights are spot on with 1/10 plus or minus...
19.4 grains Vectan AS, Federal Gold Medal plastic, Fed 209 primer, 12s3 (or clone) wad. 1200fps and burns super clean. Larry
Interesting 4 pages of posting....... Our small clubs follow ATA current rules. Two of the more local clubs host one or more registered shoots each...
The real challange is not in changing the rules, it is with changing the shooters. A trip to the range often reveals folks bending rules, trying to...
A quick look at the world today demonstrates to me that a majority feel the only way to run the world (or the Trap game) is to impose restrictions on...
Perhaps a more interesting vote would be from those whose handicap yardage is the 18 yard line. As long as my handicap is different maybe I really...
With this as the protocol, the choice of a delagate with a voice of authority and a command presence is the first step in getting your way with...
I thought it interesting there was so much difference in memberships in different areas......Larry
Perhaps part of any discussion should include a couple comments relating to membership in a state, a region or perhaps number of birds in...
Take a look at my previous post. All those clubs plus Halfway Oregon, Hermiston, and Walla Walla Wa. have birds that hit the 50 yard marker. I find...
Cove, LaGrande and Wallowa Oregon purchased a total of 6 new Pat traps in the last two years. One in Cove, one in Wallowa, and 4 in LaGrande. All...
The silent majority is simply a wad of individuals that say nothing and happen to be in a group that is over 50 percent. In that silent majority the...
The reference to "silent majority" troubles me. I rather suspect that may be why the current president of the United States is the person it is. 8...
Lots of info posted here, Lots of history, some guesses, some personal experiences . Within the activity known as trapshooting is there a desire,...
What is the real issue here? What is the intent? What is the objective. My opinion is that it probably does not matter who gets nailed to the cross....
During my brief involvement with trap shooting I have observed that one thing we all have in common is personal opinions. This discussion about one...
Since the change would only make a difference to those already or soon to shoot from the 27 perhaps a poll is needed to see how those shooters feel...
Wishbone, I can only wishfully think I would ever be good enough to stand in the grass. LOL. I really think that clubs in general will do what they...
I am only guessing but any change has to be made after consideration by and approval of the ATA? Would it then be needed to include other...
If it was a sanctioned shoot wouldn't ATA have had to give a blessing? Larry
Reading the posts on yardage, angles, and shells on several different sites is interesting. The ATA is a nationwide organization with thousands of...
Good morning Gary, I have no idea what a 27 yard league shoot is nor have I had experience with a "true League shoot". The shoot I am describing is...
Three years ago I walked into the game with a shotgun and a couple boxes of shells, I love to shoot, I enjoy the reloading, I am learning about guns...
For the benefit of those new to the game what was the causation/motive behind these changes? Just when did all this take place? Where did the idea...
For the benefit of those new to the game, what caused the change? Where did the idea come from? Which group supported the change? What was the...
Log in to ATA and type in a name, you can get all the scores and dates and stuff you desire. Is that the way it works? If you are a big name and...
Well, one letter out of 2 was right.......... My trapshooting life began about 2.5 years ago, I really have no knowledge of the more recent changes...
FC, What were the comments made about the 50 yd targets? Did everyone shoot them? Was there a general acceptance of the different approach? The...
I had to check to see what site I was on....... If the objective is to test the skills of shooters with the presentation of a more challenging target...
Watched a program a few nights ago.... Phoebe Mosley and Frank Butler. Rules did not change, guns and loads were what they were, shoot till there is...
HUGE discussion here. A question comes to mind. What percntage of shooters are back far enough to be concerned about being able to go back further?...
I joined ATA 3 years ago, I shoot local with only a few trips outside the area so my ATA targets are quite limited. There is a lot to learn in the...
Three clubs out of the five in this part of the world have given up on trapshooting eg. singles, handicap and doubles. They will offer nothing this...
Manners are more important than rules. Amazes me how quickly on other forums it goes from a topic discussion to a personal attack. Some value only...
