Understand that these add more concrete guys want to kill competition so that THEY could be more successful. I fully agree with HB, any prizes and...
The system must have to make sense before it can work. Giving people a computer generated 1 yard reduction when they have an 88 plus average does...
Weather can really screw things up. Looks like the weather for the Northeastern Grand is great...as of now.
Why was there an almost 23% decline in the West Hogan's attendance? Huge decline on Sunday. Was it the weather? Weather was nice in NY.
Problem is that I talked to some AA and they all (the ones that I talked to) agree that target requirements makes not sense under the current point...
The questions is with all the decline why does the ATA seem to be doing well financially? $17 million in net assets is not a little amount of money...
I am the only one that voted for the winner takes all. I must be a greedy dreamer :D Looks like most people voted for the way the ATA ran the two...
:D:D Being able to say you were on the AA first team for X numbers of years could help if you are an instructor. That's a selling point for them....
Well, we can start by getting rid of the STUPID target requirement rule. If Matt can get enough points by shooting 3 tournaments, for example, that...
Was the All American Team always based on points or was it based on the average of the three disciplines at some point?
Looks like Matt Bartholow will not make the All American Team even though he has 1095 All American points. He failed to acquire the number of...
$40,000 guaranteed purse for Handicap Championship event. $35 entry fee. You have to play it to win it. How should the purse be divided?
I hope this guy will be back soon. Hey Dave, the Northeastern Grand is coming up. You are always welcome in New York. [ATTACH]
Thanks Brad. You are a great resource for this site!
Good advice, Roger. The problem is I get bored very fast practicing gun mount at home. When I am shooting, I get too "caught up" to get into a gun...
I saw Brad's advice on just looking out and being prepared to see to see the target, but I have some questions and need some advice on how to lock in...
Which ATA shoot was cancelled because of the "shut down"? Come on now let's hear it.
When did they closed Sparta in the past? I understand (which could be hearsay) that the ATA has a 20 year contract with an option to buy the...
HB, it is a shame the Executive Director can write that nonsense and get away with it. I hope the Martins are having a big say in how things are...
Roger, it matters in terms of how much money is returned to the sport. If it's totally profit oriented, less money will show up for purses. Don't...
So why does it matters who own the splendid Sparta facilities? I guess it is of no concern to you.
Where does the majority of the profits from shoots at the CC go to? The OSTA or the owner of CC? Just asking.
Now I remember. I think the article above is also on display at the HOF.
Frankly a lot of AA who were there didn't show up for the picture. See how many from the men first team was in the picture...none of the big names.
Those pictures were taken with an iPhone. Next time I will bring my camera where I can fit all 15,000 competitors in one frame. LOL
Brad - what do you do for your pre-shot routine? That is, from the time the shooter before you shoots to when you call for the target. BTW, I...
Great advice Brad! I assume you look "below the barrel" and not above the rib as Harlan teaches. The thought per Harlan and Phil is that it is easier...
Thanks HB. You are sure a resource for this site. Brad - if you gave it to the Ohio HOF they could loan it to the ATA HOF during the Grand.
My friend, the eye is not the mind. It's the brain that controls everything. The quiet eye concept is basically a soft focus where you look out...
Or this? [ATTACH]
You mean like this?[ATTACH]
Lot's of guns in the HOF but not sure of the name you mentioned. Would like to see Brad's favorite gun there even if it's on loan for the Grand.
Thought so..the Internet. Did you invest in Harlan's video to see what he says about "Quiet Eye"?

Where did you get that from?
The Grand will be at Sparta for many years. The ATA and the local politicians committed to this during the opening ceremony. If all 2000 plus...
Mike is my friend he would be frank with me.
4 on the east side. Note this doesn't include the upscale restaurant in the main building and the fast food vendor in there also.
Krieghoff and Gamaliel did very well off me for at least couple thousand dollars.
Roger, have you been over to the east side around bank 4? The food vendor with the large tent had long lines every day that sometimes I had to go...
The vendors at the 2018 shoot seemed to have done very well. Many locals showed up to show their appreciation also. But you have to be there to see...
And that's over 2,500 handicap targets for 2018.
Right now, 2018 is 88 plus. Do I suck like you?? LOL
