I don't think anyone on this site is neutral about the ATA EC decision. I am against the decision mostly because they overruled Vice-President Paul...
Everybody has some sort of "temperament." Some show it more than others. Dave is a great guy to some. Gave me free advice and even walked with me...
Anthony, since it seems you know Sandy well, why don't you ask her what she said to Dave and then decide if she made a reasonable comment. No use...
N1H1 - The 8 minutes apply to everyone...well at least to me also. What will your 4th chart above (75% diameter at 40 yds) look like if you do if...
Are you saying that you start moving your gun before you pick up the line of the target flight? So if a target is going to the right, your gun...
:D:D Should we call it the Hill's method or the N1H1's method :D I sure hope no one is following that piece of scientific advice. Maybe it is just...
NIH1 - Looks like tightening your choke raises the POI...more pellets above the horizontal line?? Why, just curious as to the logic.
Try to be logical if you want to be taken seriously. Why did the EC go against the Vice President's recommendation when he (the Vice President)...
Other than your plug for Winchester AA there is nothing I see to debate :) I didn't read everything but from what I read the conclusions seem...
WPT, I think N1H1 means well and should be debated. A lot of people takes what he says for gospel so that's why he should be debated. Happy New Year!
I said "woman" to identify the complainant by sex. I don't want to get into the person name which is well known by now. Anyway, I was told by very...
Wasn't it a handicap event with 26-27 yds shooters?? Hmmm.
The ATA EC did a lynch job on Mr. Shaeffer. They made it sound like he banged a loaded gun on the ground. And if the woman did not taunt him he...
N1H1 - Phil Kiner advises that you should adjust your comb height based on how your target breaks until you get smoke. If you have consistently...
Understood. I think the "entries" are more important than number of people classified. Suppose 10,000 people classified and they all shot only one...
[ATTACH] This is the data I found. Looking for data from 1997-2006.
Don't want to start another thread, but I would be interested in getting the statistics for the Grand attendance 10 years prior to Sparta. Is this...
I use the Phil Kiner method...screw the patterning board. Read your breaks and do what you have to do to center punch each target. I would only use...
I agree. We should have an online petition going where you sign up with your real name. It is about time the ATA EC know that many shooters are...
Is there any way to tell who were the winners in the Autumn Grand? I know the scores are posted on shootsscoreboard but how can you tell who won the...
Minus 6 actual. 10 is the high today. Beautiful weather for trapshooting!
Anyone here "looks below the barrel" and is your eyesight better than 20/20? I am just curious if you need to have better than average eyesight to...
I have the DVDs of many of the top shooters; Kay, Leo, Harlan and Phil. It is interesting to note the different instructions you can get from these...
Hmmm, I see that David did send in a letter of apology. Guess there will be no lawsuit. I think 1 year suspension was too harsh though. An apology...
Brad, I started shooting post Vandalia. No I am not young, just started late. Obviously you know a lot more about trap history than I do. My local...
Sorry, not trying to hijack the thread. I think the discussion is about trying to get the ATA to function better in promoting the sport. I would...
Roger C., What can the ATA do to promote small clubs? Should it be up to the State association? New York has a calendar of local shoots on it's...
Here is an experiment I would like to see someone do if they have a homemade cannon on wheels. Fire it on a very smooth surface (less friction)...
N1H1 - You still have to tell me how the point S was determined. Oh, and are you talking about couple or moments?
It is couple minutes in check it out. Here is what I posted above: In order to preserve the law of conservation of momentum and Newton’s laws, if...
Oh, by the way N1HI why did the barrel of that cannon move DOWN after it was fired in the first video I posted?
While I read your post - how was the pivot point S determined? This video where he discusses the cannon states exactly what I mentioned in one of my...
Check this out of a cannon being fired: [MEDIA]
N1HI said: So adding a spacer at the bottom of the stock would not lower the POI of the gun, it would raise it. Are you saying changing the pitch...
I am right handed. That's the way the pad is set up. Same as N1H1, but his is more "twisted."
N1H1, I see a figure 8 (my preferred sight) without having to kink my head downwards. I have taken pictures and see that my head is upright. Here are...
Thanks for the advice.
I shoot a K80 trap special with zero pitch after I had the stock cut. By zero pitch I mean that a line drawn through the center-line of the barrel...
I think we have settled that pitch will not change the POI. I am more interested in the effects on cheek slap right now.
So are we saying that if a gun is placed in some sort of cradle and placed in a skating rink (so it can get free horizontal movement) and fired (by...
Not sure what controversy you are talking about. The muzzle rise is caused by moments around where the butt pad contacts the shoulder pocket. If...
How do you measure pitch Neil? I hope it not by looking at the butt pad alone ;) It is obvious that the person made a typo Neil...here is what he...
Agree, but it is still an accomplishment worth noting for those in the sport today. Maybe they can put a note for the year when the target setting...
Neil - It is obvious that the Canadian engineer and I went to different engineering schools just than mine gave real degrees :) The paragraph you...
Got an email asking for donations to the ATA HOF. I went to the website and noticed that the records are way out of date. Even the ATA website is...
Just want to mention that to figure out how much of my butt pad contacted my chest I rubbed talcum powder on my chest and brought my gun up to the...
I met N1H1 personally and think that he is a good person who is genuinely interested in providing scientific explanations for trapshooting...
N1H1, it is clear who you are. You have done a lot to give scientific explanations to trapshooting phenomenon. My question is .why would a great...
Thanks all! My gun currently had zero pitch, which in theory should cause the gun to recoil straight back with little muzzle rise. Like, I said...
I should have said that I am not sure if the welt was caused by shooting more targets also.
