would a shooter move back from 16 to 18 in some sort of structured process? What would that be? Would there be trophies for each class at each...
Roger you have some valid questions regarding the trap deal. There may be a really simple answer to all of them. maybe not. I sincerely hope it...
FG, not a all. I have nothing to be defensive about. I don't sell traps, don't make ATA rules, just shoot at the targets that are thrown. But if...
Roger, It's a simple question but yet one you will not answer. What changed in the target presentation due to Pat Traps and their position in the...
Bill, Like Bat I'm not saying all is perfect. But the ATA and the decisions they've made over the years are not the sole cause of declined ATA...
Roger, based on the state of the sport at the time (2003) what should the ATA have done? Remember by 2003 there were a lot of new traps already in...
Bat, Exactly. Point B in the rule book is a basis for measurement of the field and target flight. It doesn't specifically reference anything about...
Roger, I've read the minutes. They establish a rule on trap placement. They reference point B and trap height. It was stated that all traps...
Roger, Can you specifically list the rules that were changed to accommodate PAT traps and what about PAT traps required this rule change? I am...
DLS, my reading ability is just fine. Lefty, couldn't agree more.
would you restrict this new category to just wounded warriors? What about the shooters with missing limbs or other such limitations that never...
Ollie, it was a question and thanks for the answer. To answer your question, review the paper card, either current year or last year's card. What...
Is there anything in his system that would indicate the shooter was prior year All American? Is there any display of prior year averages in his...
Wishbone, that was my assumption based on the following: AA in 2014, 100 in Monday's singles, 800 targets in current year with a low average. If I...
Leondis, If I'm right the shooter was Douglas Damron. He won the High Vet award on monday. The fact that he was classified in D really didn't have...
Beagles, I think your 'not what' is right but not for any of the reasons you've listed. I'll ask my son to poll his team mates and I'll post the...
The future of our sport is the youth. The SCTP program has exploded over the recent years and the college programs continue to be strong. Some...
Smithy, I'm in need of an education. I googled how did Taylor ruin skeet and came up empty. I've never shoot competitive skeet, just a little...
Roger, Of course the extreme angles thrown by a different hole setting would be different. How many in a 100 target round at the extreme angles?...
So if I read this correctly, you're wanting to create a new organization (AITA), then get the PITA to change their current rules to that which you...
My average are there back to 1977. Individual scores don't appear until 2001.
Well it's a good thing we don't shoot at stationary targets!!! Is there a point to this thread or are you just posting random thoughts? You might...
lew and family guy, Rogers's comment was pretty simple. While the traps were set in the three hole, that results in very few( as a percentage of the...
The old AA system was never a pure average approach, at least not for category shooters. In the early 90s, probably 92 or 93, my brother shot...
I think that statement is probably true for almost every state.
Clipperite, It doesn't matter what the previous rule was regarding 3 hole targets and the allowable variance outside the normal max. The statement...
Let's put a hypothetical situation out there, that is similar to the real deal, but 100% within the ATA rules. Shooter legitimately is moved to the...
User1, seems a bit unrealistic to me. So, what if there is a lone 100 and that triggers your special review outlined above. It will take quite a...
Lew, Let's pretend that the above mentioned folks would respond to this question. In your mind, what is an acceptable answer?
Hap, yep known ability is pretty vague and tough to fight, as you know. Well at least you took some money from them. Hopefully it was some...
Hap, agreed. But have you ever heard of a shooter getting punch in the mail as a result of a regular 1000 target review? I have not, but I suppose...
If this is the case, then I would be in the 'strip the title' camp. However, I don't think that is the case here.
Trap2, until the PITA is faced with this situation, you'll never really know. It's easy to speculate, based on prior actions, what they might do in...
Wishbone, I don't know how they could have helped keep a shooter on the 18 Yrd line. I've never heard of any earned yardage being assigned during a...
WPT, I hope you didn't use the same PW over here that you have over there.
user1, so you're saying the because he didn't complain about the reduction in his target count he is guilty. Nice logic!! Maybe he doesn't care...
User1, who has the burden of proof? Does the ATA have to prove that you didn't shoot them, or do you have to prove that you did. Sure you can line...
Seriously you guys want to vacate the GAH title because you think he cheated. Really though, what is the ATA to do? I'm not privy to whatever...
Yes. When we practice or host a shoot we are complete self sufficient.
yes. We have a small one trap club. We coaches are members and have the ability to open the club for shooting. The kids load the trap and keep...
so many on here would state that the ATA/EC decisions have been the demise of ATA shooting. I'm sure in some circles it has had an impact,...
If I understand you correctly, you are looking for help outside their season, after this overlap period where they do already help. It is very...
Eau Claire, WI[ATTACH]
To answer the question ... NO. I really don't see the need. If most the AA are using max loads it's because they feel it gives them an advantage...
