Dave I missed your comments about Camp Troy, I was posting the same time as you but you are right. I broke 95 at Troy and the prize was 500 silver...
I shot my first trap targets in 1962 or 63 on a trap machine just like History Seeker provided the pictures of. Cloverdale gun club had one trap and...
Singles Shoot off targets at the grand from the mid 80's through the mid 90's were always set harder than the program targets. It wasn't fair by any...
If anyone on here cares to check it out look at the Missouri fall handicap scores in the 80's and 90's and compare them to the grands scores this...
In 1988 when I won the GAH HOA I shot Fed Extra Lite 7 1/2's at all shots. About 1995 Winchester made the AA Silver's and they had 1 3/16 oz of...
More yardage is the answer for sure but not the thirty yard line. Put the extra yards on the targets. It worked in the past and will work today,...
I miss EG everyday. I'd love to talk to him about what is going on with BLM and the ATA.
Don as much as I'd like to claim that OSTA Vendor Hat idea it was started by Tad Johnson I think, or JT Evans or Clyde Findlay. Our board back then...
I bet the ATA is doing this so they can charge 2 ATA daily fees.
I have always been for harder targets, wider angles, 50 yard birds, trap used to not be skeet. Missouri used to throw some of the meanest targets...
For everyone that has stopped watching the news pay attention to what happened last night and early today in Chicago, Illinois. Home state of the...
I Hope it's Ohio.
I have always been amazed with today's ATA shooters that own $15,000. single bbls, shoot reloads that I wouldn't use on blackbirds, stay in a...
Because the Grand is headed in such a fantastic direction.
Cloverdale shoots tomorrow. Real good food, nice place to shoot, faces east so shoot later. I don't know if BIG PAPA has ever been there. Non...
What does Merlo look like, has there ever been a verified Merlo sighting at any shoot?
Thank You
Looks just like the 2020 grand except with people. Nice bunch of kids and parents and grand parents.
The up close picture is of the Resident Traps, not so good on the ends.
No I WAS referring to when he would get drunk on wine late at night an stated studder typing. I just stumbled into the drunk with power thought ,...
Who would have guessed it Illinois screwing gun owners, gun manufactures, or Gun Shooting organization.. Why didn't someone say something about this...
He may have been your secret souse but he was still the biggest ass I ever met in trap shooting.
Flyer's The worst part of this whole thing would be the ATA daily fees so if I do this I'm thinking a couple of 1500 bird double marathons and I'd...
Dave the way my eye site is going I might not recognize the average man by then, but I could be bribed with a brew every so often I would imagine. I...
Well Roger it is something to think about isn't it.
If a Eastern Trap Shooting Association would start I'd be happy to help. On becoming an ATA delegate I guess I could bite the bullet and shoot a few...
Big PAPA I don't know and that is why I was asking the Ohio delegate to find out for me (us). It would be nice if maybe the new Pa delegate would...
I guess I wasn't a very discriminating shooter.
Good luck Doc!!!
The bad grand Targets that you are referring to were Federal. I shot the whole grand with two Fed Reps that year and they got to the point they...
Don now you are starting to understand why I told you so many times over the years that the ATA sucks.
I want to know did the ATA get 250,000 bucks from the MTA? It would be a nice question for my Ohio ATA delegate to ask Gibson about, don't you think?
I was told by Scoot Williams that the 2020 Ohio State Sporting Clays Shoot was being limited to 4 shooters on a squad. Why I don't have any idea,...
Gee Dave thanks for the memories.
I don't know if anyone of you are paying attention or not but the crap that is going on in this country right now is much, much more important to us...
Don when I started shooting in 1974 Jaqua's was called Fisher Brothers. I'd hate to guess how many targets I shot there over the years, but you...
Thanks DEDPAIR I am trying to talk Stuart into something like you are doing for the CC. I hope you get him over the hump. Thanks again.
Good plan for pre classifying, I suggested it to the osta before the Ohio State Shoot, (I think on here also) but they said they couldn't do it. How...
The OSTA owns all the traps at the Cardinal Center, when I was on the board we got them paid for by Pittman, Robertson Tax money from the Ohio...
50% if the ATA is lucky.
Do you have any more HOF pictures to post?
Tim I enjoyed the HOF affair and it was good to see everyone. I'm really proud that the OSTA shot when all these other states aren't. Pa should be...
Michigan used to give you a bank but drew for where it started, the traps to the east were the starting banks and if they drew the number 5 that bank...
I always thought drawing for banks is the fairest way to go. When I started the grand drew for directions also.
Before the shot screens at the Cardinal I was always trying to get them to draw for banks, although I can't believe Gibson will allow this to happen...
Nice shooting by a nice young man, congratulations. Ryan is an example why the ATA doesn't need all those categories Just shoot.
Give me a call at Thorn Bottom Hunting number, I leave clinics to others but I I have helped shooters one on one over the years. Sometimes if you...
Thanks Don I wasn't sure about all the new requirements, I thought you got more points for your own state shoot wins but that might be wrong too? I...
I don't know anything about how they pick the All American Teams today but I think, and I might be wrong so if I am someone tell me, but I think you...
No Sparta for Martin money to save. It's too bad that the Martins enabled the ATA to try and save Sparta it cost trap shooters the HOF too. Does...
