yea. Didn't they name a sporting goods store after him.
One thing I would like to know is what are wheelchair shooters treated as fourth class shooters. Normally I just go and shoot but I was struck when...
Wonder if it's because he is a sponsored shooter like the ones we have in our "Amateur Sport" .
At Tucson there was Clay Dot available for $160 for an eight pound jug. No Red Dot.
The future of Trapshooting or any other shooting sport is wholly dependent on development surrounding ranges and zoning laws. Of course Major...
You do know the hiring of a Concessionaire and their contract will indicate how business looks at the viability of the WRSC's future. Agree/Disagree.
With all of the problems that Illinois has I do not see where the WRSC will have any standing in a new budget. Unless there is a specific line item...
As of Friday, that state owned a stack of past-due bills worth about $7.2 billion.
I would ask if anyone has any faith in the ATA leadership to be honest and forthcoming with the members of the ATA.
While I hope this situation is solved quickly I do not see anything at this point to indicate otherwise. To reopen the WRSC there has to be money...
Thats all?
If the good DR. is wrong then please point out where he is wrong.
No I was commenting on your post in regards to the high probability that the ATA would increase their fees to cover costs that they may have to bear...
No the lease is not in effect. The state voided the lease either through a " for convenience clause" or a "force majeure" clause. There is not a...
Fully expect the ATA to increase to $5 at least in the championship events and keeping the prelim at $3. Of course they should consider dropping the...
Well in case you haven't realized it yet the Grand is held in Illinois. The budget battle that has closed the WRSC is in Illinois. The Legislature...
Look it doesn't matter about the money. You have a Democrat controlled legislature and a Republican Governor locked in a battle over a budget. It's...
You really have no understanding of how government works do you?
Well ask for their "cash disbursements journal".
The only one that needs convincing is the Governor of Illinois as he is the guy with the power to reopen or keep it closed. That is reality.
A Trump vs. Sanders race would be interesting.
Some facts for your consideration. 1. The Governor has authority to Veto funding for a particular line item in the Budget. 2. The Governor has the...
Anybody else notice the usage graph showing more usage in Sept than August when the Grand is held. Just wondering why.
Well your reply indicated that you failed to make the connection and got technical. Why are you trying to pick a fight? Dang. l.
They quit shooting registered trap and shot non-registered trap.
IF someone else can grow the US OPEN over its numbers today then why is there complaining. Is that not what is best for the members and the sport.
Term Limits? When will people realize there are already Term Limits. They call them Elections.
The ATA does not have a lease. It cannot hold a match today if it wanted too. The WRSC is Closed. Whatever language you want to use, use it, but...
What can I say but it's worthless and the IDNR and the ATA know it. The lease was cancelled by the State and you cannot add an amendment to a voided...
The memorandum of understanding contains no agreement terms. Heffley said that’s because “we cannot negotiate the terms before the April 15 date....
How can there be a MOU when they said in the video that they cannot negotiate anything until after 15 April which means there is nothing on paper....
So my prelimnary plans include both the Ohio and Kentucky state shoots. Can anyone recommend a place to stay for the Ohio State Shoot. I don't camp.
It's up to the individual to do with their income that they want too. After they earned it not us. Oh crap I've probably upset someone else with my...
You will not be shooting trap that is one thing for sure. There is no lease, there is no authorization for the IDNR and the ATA to negotiate the use...
You mean at CC. If so I have no doubt that that the CC events will go off as scheduled. I was hoping to shoot the Grand this year but there is...
I see your point.
MMMMMM not really. In a passed budget without funds to run the facility you most likely would find the authorization to enter negotiations with the...
The problem here is which is more destructive. No Grand or a telephonic grand. As it stands today there is no agreement and the IDNR and the ATA can...
Whatever obligation SCTP had with the state went out the window when the complex was shut down. as I see it.
I just wish whomever is in charge would make a decision so I can come up with a schedule of events to shoot this year. This is uncalled for.
Because so and so on the other site has a friend that secured a camping spot and he wouldn't do that if the grand wasn't going to be in Sparta this...
What MOU. It was stated that there could be no negotiations until April so I guess they have a blank page. Doesn't matter though since the governor...
It looks like no budget will be forthcoming as it will be part of a democrat platform in the November 2016 election.
No problem in a local shoot but not in Zone,State, Satellite Grand or Grand.
Kind of hard to separate the two since if there is no ATA there is no trapshooting org to set standards and lay down rules for competition. But hey...
My practice targets run $11-12 a round. ATA is a whole other story. I asked my delegate if it was possible to use a NM or AZ shoot to sub for one of...
Probably the same thing that happens every year. A bunch of cool products that we will be lucky to see in 2017.
I'm quite aware of that Bulge especially since last April when I ended up in a wheelchair and my whole life was upended. But the question still...
It's like running 50 yards of a 100 yard dash. Makes no sense. If you cannot shoot the 200 then don't shoot it.
At a local shoot with 50 or less people shooting then no problem but at a shoot with 50 or more participants and Zone,State, Satellite Grand or...
Separate names with a comma.
