Have you tried the Light Target loads offered by many ammo manufacturers? These 1145fps/1.125oz loads are quite soft shooting, probably as soft as...
Depending on the degree of "bloop", the ATA allows the shooter to re-shoot that target.
If that's what you have, they'll break most targets. I'd move up to 1 1/8oz of #8's for 20 yard targets, though.
Thanks, Roger. I think a 3 dram load w/ 1 1/8oz payload would be a 1200fps target load. Sound about right?
Light handicap? What were the drams equivalent/MV on those? The STS Light Target I prefer are 2 3/4 dr, which is their 1145 fps load. Would a...
Are those the same as the recent Peters Premier Blue Paper shells? (P/N PPT12L8) I have several of boxes of them....for nostalgic purposes.
...and is, by far, my favorite target load...and has been for over twenty years.
....as far as performance goes.
Hard to top the current Remington STS ammo.
I must admit: that is an autoloading shotgun that relegates the Auto-5 to second place on my Least Attractive Shotguns list.
But of course. One can describe one's self as white trash.
Well, the implication is pretty clear.
How do you change that? Move closer to a population center? Face it, because of your location you'll never be a high-volume club....for the very...
Then the answer is simple: invite more people. I know you are inviting/have invited everyone on this forum. Invite MORE!!!
That sounds familiar. They might have been called Autumn Gold or Harvest Gold?
Those looked very interesting.....until I learned that they are photochromic. I don't want my glasses getting dark on me; I need all the light that's...
Regardless, let's hope ATS.com lives a long and healthy life. And it will if we all heed the Golden Rule.
Interesting that Americantrapshooter.com was created as a response to a website’s degradation into a name-calling, insult-flinging closed group of...
This thread is not about reliability. Look at the title: it's about attractiveness. The Auto-5 was never known for its beauty, and never will be....
There are many attractive autoloaders out there. In face, most autoloaders are nice-looking, with wood quality about the only distinguishing feature....
The K-E pads I had were plenty hard when new, and still haven't gotten harder. I can grind the pad to fit a but plate. PM me.
Limbsaver AirTech. Same price as K-E, same easy fit as K-E. The AirTech won't wear like iron, which the K-E does, but it attenuates much better...
As an old motocrosser and street bike rider, I can tell you that you cannot legally obtain a registration on a MX machine. But, I see your point...
I keep my right elbow horizontal to maintain the pocket in my shoulder. I let my left elbow drop to where it's most comfortable. I see some (young,...
Pretty picky gun, I'd say.
Yeah, brisk sales on caps, shell boxes, and blinders, or brisk sales on Kolars and Perazzis?
Wouldn't a Light Improved Modified actually be...for all intents and purposes... a Modified? I mean, 5 (mod) + 2 (IM) - 2(LM) still = 5 (mod)?? If...
There's one difference, right there.
Is there a minimum BMI requirement at that event?
Yes. You are. And that's why I don't see much hope for your club; you're just too many miles away from your market. You can serve the tastiest...
To shoot trap? I'd have to be paid by the hour.
Neither showed much wisdom.
...is no longer observed, even by orthodox Jews? Regardless of the answer, forgiving consumer debt today would not cure our propensity for buying...
Of course....old Jewish tradition.
You can't be serious. Debt forgiveness would stop people from buying stuff they don't need and can't afford?? You're smarter than that.
Who would notice? :)
Since you've seemed to have tried everything that you or anyone else can think of, how about young, beautiful, topless, female scorers?
He will no more spend time in jail than will Hillary or Sleepy Joe. Politically-important figures do not answer to the same laws that you and I...
It's technical talk.
I haven't shot any Super Target loads yet, but a nearby food store had the 3 dr./ 1 1/8oz loads for $8.99 when I stopped by on the way home from...
Federal's Top Gun, Gold Medal Grand, and Field & Target loads are also steel-headed. Only the High Over All Federal target loads are brass, and they...
I have a big problem with barrel bore fouling just after the forcing cone on my 682.. It takes up to 10 minutes with a bronze bristle brush on an...
Doubt you will experience much, if any, difference...either performance- or recoil-wise, with only a 45 fps delta. I can feel a slight recoil...
Is that one of those infamous photographic finishes on otherwise plain wood? If it is, you might as well just rattle-can it...
Best? Possibly. But, have you tried a Limbsaver? While I can't be so presumptuous to say a Limbsaver is the best....since I haven't tried every...
Limbsaver, either Classic or Airtech. One of the few products I can confidently recommend to my friends.
I wish our local trap clubs shot during the winter....
Auction bidding can easily become an ego thing, and the result is someone paying far more than an item is worth. Re; the scenario described by the...
Was this thread really started in 2015?
Ahh. At the ATA's inception, the first A stood for American.
