What total bunch of nonsense, Lady T, if you find ATA registered trapshooting and the people who participate in it, such a losing proposition, why...
Smoking357 You would not have such arguments if if we're not for the ATA/Sparta haters who start them. Live and let live. Now why don't you start...
Your right smoking 357, I feel ashamed. Hey while I am thinking about it, I will not be attending the Grand this year as I have some unexpected...
Advocating a violation of the bylaws, a coup, takeover of bank accounts and believe the general membership will accept a takeover of our...
Smoking 357 What the hell you talking about? We don't elect people to bully us around, we elect them to REPRESENT US. That is what delegates do....
When I say change comes at the local level, that means by popular referendum, though the State Delegate casting his vote as a BOD member. That is...
IMO, Change in the games has to come at the local club level. If whatever innovation is a good innovation, it catches on and spreads across the...
No we don't want more representatives for States with larger populations, because then you have a Democracy, better know as mob rule, instead of a...
Hostile takeover? By Lifetime members? The 50 plus board members are Lifetime members. You attempt some takeover of a 501(c)3 and you will have...
I am a little confused on this one delegate per State arguement. Our bylaws only authorize only one Delegate to represent his or her State as an...
Well sure they are. If they are saying in June, they are closing 9/1/15 and the ATA is not scheduled for another shoot until August 2016 that is...
Remember the Board is made up of ATA delegates YOU elected from each State and Province. It is the Board that makes all the decisions of monies...
The way I understand from previous posters, any location outside the State lines of Ohio is too far removed from the "close proximity to the center...
BTW, here is your opportunity and you should act quickly, I mean RIGHT NOW, for time is of the essesence. Find some land holder with 4-5 sections...
Too bad Ohio did not make an offer that ATAcould not refuse. I just can't accept a handful of shooters got their way over a major majority of...
Non profits are not supposed to make profits........or lose money. Put the HOF on line and spend the money promoting the sport, not showcasing...
Ouch!
Dual trap line? Imagine two rows of trap lines, 50 traps on each line. Either a parallel line of traps facing opposite like one North, one South,...
Well I hope so, I was trying to find out if the HOF occupied property owned free and clear with title by the ATA or if HOF (and the ATA offices) were...
Thank you oldphart, that is the answer I was looking for. ATA owned the land which housed the ATA museum in Ohio.
If the EC visited sites and found them problematic without a formal proposal offered, I don't have a problem with that. A formal or a written...
These sites were offered in a written proposal?
Still not clear. "And the HOF was provided with an area to house their collection and office space." Does not sound to me like the real estate was...
Same question before (just trying to understand history). was the old HOF on ATA owned ground or owned by same landlord like the rest of the...
Forgot to mention, the P.I.T.A. Grand just started yesterday, running all this week.
Young shooters can attend before returning to school as well. Nice that you guys have found the sport, but the time of year for the ATA and...
I think the TX location was around Amarillo. It was referred to as being located in the pan handle. I would have loved it if in TX, but in August?...
It's a 16 hour drive for me, if I did not stop for fuel, food and restrooms. It's a 20 hour drive for people on the Left Coast. But then we don't...
Lady T, In the minutes from the BOD meeting of possible sites, the Teaxs site was faulted as void of trees, just barren flat land and objection to...
I was looking at the 2015 GA program, gave a figure of 1814 entries for 2014 GAH. More ATA lies?
How in God's name were the offers kept off the table? Were any offers from any other States kept off the table? Are there written copies of...
Three offers from Ohio? Formal offers? Really? This is the first time I have heard this. Reading the ATA minutes, only IL, IN and TX made offers...
And if the attitude is Ohio does not need ATA, then maybe there is good reason someone named this thread "As anticipated, anywhere but Ohio."
So far, for many years there has not been 3-4 thousand contestants, only 1500-1800. Last year there were only about 1800 that shot the GAH.
WPT How can you say ATA jumped at the first thing offered when there were only 3 offers, one was too far (Texas) from the majority of shooters and...
And would this be a good idea if the Grand were held in a Province, instead of a State? We hear a lot of OH and PA shooter boycott Sparta because it...
And we have one delegate per State or Province, which makes up the Board.
i have expounded the same concept myself, but it is always met with opposition.
A 12,000,000 dollar economic impact does a lot more than produce a one time 750,000 dollar sales taxes. The money rents rooms, cars, meals, buys,...
Perhaps it is being done as a convenience for so many people who do not like shopping at WalMart?
Confederate flags never flew on slave ships crossing the Atlantic, but did so under U.S. Flags for decades, right up to start of war. FYI.
And just for the record, it seems unwarranted to me as well for just 10 days use. What would have to happen is some sort of consortium of shooting...
I think there are many instances where a business will build on property owned by another party, but will enter into a long term lease, like 99...
Was the HOF on ATA owned property when it was in Vandalia?
Scumbag??? Well, I see this site is no different than the other, even though it was promised to be. I'll ban myself and make this my last post.
You are right Dr. LongShot, it was wrong for Mr. Boyko to start this thread which is contrary to keeping it clean and informative. I think the whole...
Bawhahahaha.
Mr Boyko, Wow, what an attitude. Just asking a question. I think it all the same on this site and others, just depends on what color lens you...
Mr. Boyko, Are you sure? I looked and saw the "drones" and "blind date" threads were in the "Off Topics" sections and the "pay for features" has...
Does anyone have factual sources to support these rumors about refunds, number of targets removed, etc. or is that the issue, all rumors???
