They were set in the 3-hole at the shoots I went to. They were set that way when I set them, as I sometimes did and did at the Grand. I see no...
Stanman, I never said that 1995 was not 3-hole. The 3-hole was introduced in March, 1995 and continued until the Annual Meeting of the BOD the night...
They were 3-hole in 1995, I set some of them. I shot them too. They were 3-hole. The 1996 Grand American Handicap and Vandalia Handicap were shot...

3-hole targets in 1996 only cost the top 40 big dogs half-a-point in their handicap averages, as a group; the best ones were hardly affected at all....
Boy those good old days really were something, weren't they? Did I ever tell you 'bout the time...? Just start throwing a week of "Games" instead of...
How, exactly, are you going to do this with all the PAT Traps clubs use these days? How, exactly, are you going to do this with one of the few...
I voted "Yes". What do I care how wide the targets are? But my "Yes" is tempered by the fact that none of the clubs I will attend this summer will...
I shoot ATA. Non-ATA evens don't interest me and speed is limited in the events I attend so I would't go. However, if clubs want to throw...
But the MX3S you sold me, Ollie, shoots perfectly flat and I move it just a bit above that. It's a wonderful gun which is now at Wenig for a new suit...

Joe, why not take that first post down quick! The suggestion that you (or I?) (or photobucket?) might have been hacked should worry everyone,...
Here it is again: [IMG] I'm sure we all hope it says visible this time. Let me reiterate the WARNING in the table so there's no misunderstanding....
Let's roll this thread back, smoking 357. 1a. Rookieshooter wanted a list of sponsored shooters, so "he might determine if he should play certain...
I understood exactly what you wrote, smoking375. 1. You seem to think that "people" are going to watch singles shoot-offs if they are not...
For Heaven's sake, smoking 357! You have classes & yardage groups to distance yourself from all the really accomplished ATA shooters now....
In theory that's probably not a bad idea, rookie. But there is are two better ways to avoid being skinned. 1a. Invest in an ATA average book,...
Correction. The sticks were 6 feet long and 2 colors on each. So it was one color per three feet. Still it was possible to estimate to half-a-yard...
You can also tell how good a reloader you are from 13 yard testing. You have to use light 7 1/2 premium shells, AA, STS, or GM, to get a baseline of...
When I did all the testing to verify chronographs and radar guns, Ollie, an observer stood at 50 yards and had 4 painted sticks laid out from the 50...

I'm glad to hear that about the time limit, Mike J. I don't like it because my posts are long and detailed and I often don't see mistakes until time...
Often you read that to test a POI or pattern you should shot several (up to 5!) shots at the same point-of-aim. I guess there is some idea that the...
Oops! I forget something in that last post. I didn't ever post this: [IMG] and here again is the text meant to go with it. "Now that you know...
Just a couple more points about POI and Pattern Testing at 13 Yards. I don't know if BrainĀ® choke tubes even made a ripple here though they made for...
Say you test your single barrel and it shoots off to the side. Some would move the comb or something but then you are looking down a crooked gun and...
I a bit surprised you like it, Roger, since I've always wondered why 50/50 is an inch above the point of aim. Can you explain that? Or better yet,...

A gun reading to 1 MPH is just as good as one reading in tenths for setting targets. If you use one of the low power (cheap) gun, you have to commit...

Ron, it depends a lot on the type and quality of your laser. They are (maybe) OK if they are muzzle-mounted, but still you can't count on them 100%....
I'll answer that tomorrow when I get time, Mike, but I do have an answer about the canon. Because the cannon's center of gravity is below the barrel,...
