The annual Membership meeting serves another purpose: It is a sounding board to find out if there are many who agree oryou are alone in your...
Clearly, FG, you are just a lightweight in a heavyweights' league. Don't blame the guy who beat you; it reflects badly on you, not him. Here's the...
Maybe so. But that didn't prevent FG from using the floor, I hope. In situations like that, just keep talking until someone is simply forced to say...
What is the devil does all that have to do with "High Gun Purses," Gary. That's what this thread is about. ...and what made you think that Garry was...
Jake, people who don't like the present FTF rule and can offer a better idea are encouraged to go to their annual state membership meeting and...
The ATA gave shooters access to the large purses that some say they favor. In offering a guaranteed $60,000 the ATA lost about $7000. That's not so...
But...but...but ebsurveyer! Shot travels 600 feet or so! Your calculation must be wrong; cfandg has already explained to us ""shoot toward an...
""As this time, I am communicating my concurrence with this timetable and unless unforseen circumstances arise which require earlier termination of...
More BS. You can bet that if the airport wanted the ATA gone, it would be in writing. Two members from our club went to Vandalia to talk to the...
"shoot toward an active airport and actually leaving shot on runways" What idiot would say that? If shot traveled over a mile or 2. LOL other than...
At at least two Annual Meetings Airport Director Blair Conrad told the ATA BOD that our time at the Airport was drawing an end. For sure and without...
The rented 3/4 of the Vandalia grounds was also the overcrowded parking that was so cramped, so inaccessible, and unguarded that local thieves made...
User 1: "As bad as camping got at Vandalia, at least they OWNED the spots:" That just shows how totally clueless you are, user1. The ATA owned only...
There are 1001 camping spots at the WSRC and all are rented. Most have power, water, and sewer. There is parking access to all and emergency access...
Necrographers from the Illinois Department of Vital Statistics have been heartened by the precipitous drop in the deaths resulting from the bites of...
I'll help you Garry. Go to the annual membership meeting at your State Shoot. If you have an idea, bring it up, speak in favor of it, and see if...
If it ever stops raining... N1H1
"John Wick" is, as is so common here, not an ATA shooter using his own name. I suppose he could be an innocent phantom created to make it look like...
Been to a lot of them, have you, U1? I attended about 25. Our secretary took minutes and our agenda (modeled on the ATA's), as with most...
Every zone has a secretary. Every secretary takes minutes at the meeting. After the meeting, the attending Vice-President takes the results to the EC...
John Wick, it is true that ideas are debated at the Zone meetings at the Grand. Delegates are exposed to the range of positions on an issue and can...
On a recent thread with a Delegate's name it, I posted a long passage from the 2006 Annual Meeting which from the start made it very clear that there...
It will make little difference if the ATA has to subsidize the guaranteed purse; with the help of an increasingly-successful sponsorship program, the...
Rn3, I agree. Sometimes you have to settle for something less than your ideal in order to get anything at all. Thanks for your comment. N1H1
Mr, Morgan lead scoring our squad from post 5 on Saturday with a 100 and we all hoped that he would guide us to better scores on Sunday but he had to...
Thanks from me too, HB. A while ago I contributed to a thread about a petition. I gave good advice to anyone who actually wants to change anything...
I recall no reference to shoes in the rulebook. I doubt that that concrete in the summer sun is any friend to bare feet, - mine get hot in tennis...
"If this is supposed to be "odds of winning money." Who says so? It is, as should be clear, the ratio of suckers to money winners. Add to that the...
You are right, it's $35. I regret the error. N1H1
"The entry for each of these two purses is $30. It appears that the ATA has calculated that 857 entries in the purse will be required in each event...
This is good. We have a Kentucky parent who will be able to tell us about the Delegate election in his state two weeks ago. I guess the first thing...
Not hard to explain. He did not run. Or better, he only ran on this website which has huge problems with facts. N1H1
I have never heard of such a subsidiary. Tell us more about it, Larry. I'm sure we would all like to know its name, where it is incorporated, and...
The "window" you describe as "so narrow it is way beyond STUPID" is the annual state membership meeting the by-laws specify. It must also be near the...
Just reminding readers here of the facts, U1. Posters here are free to continue to list all the things that need to change as they have for years...
Not hard to explain. He did not run. N1H1
If you do not like the way the ATA is handling the Corporation ELECT NEW DELEGATES. Typing on the internet will get you nowhere; the only changes...
Great, thanks, Garry. It answers all my questions and looks like fun. I'll be interested in the effectiveness of the one-ounce loads. N1H1
Does that mean you have no knowledge about how the Championship series will be run/contolled either, U1? My questions sound reasonable to me, why not...
Can you give us a quick rundown of the planned rules, merlo? We get it that it's not flyer-like anymore, and the max shells will be 1 oz., but how...
Knock, knock, knock,,,,echo. N1H1
Can someone weigh (on a gram scale) 5 targets for us and tell us what they weigh? N1H1
Well, the second is far better than the first. If you will re-read the Articles of Incorporation and the By-Laws, you will see that there is no...
All right, Brad, I'll bite. Who was inducted? N1H1
Mike, chronographs work fine for shotshells too, You get the best results with an open choke; in fact, you have to use one if you want to test the...
There are people who do that; Tom Armbruster* is a name I remember, Mike J. I'm not one of them; my own backlog oft things to do is already too...
Mike J, you seem like a candidate for experimenting with a chronograph. Just the Prochrono digital is cheap enough to take a chance on and here's how...
Mike J, you can't, can't, can't trust a bushing chart and modify its recommendation to suit yourself and have any idea at all how fast your shells...
Gary, I don't think doing it yourself is a good idea. You could, just for the summer, build it up with Moleskin (not Molefoam) and send it in next...
I know you were quoting me, FG. I was just explaining to you what I said. What is it you don't understand about it? It's perfectly clear to me....
