When I bought my life membership in 1976 it stated on the certificate that I was given when I paid my $75 that I was an owner, so by anyone's measure...
Don't boot Duffkjs06, at least he comes on an says his peace. The koolaid site is the ones that boots someone who doesn't agree with all the boys...
You guys are seeing why I have been screaming from the rooftops about the way the ATA has been run for the last 25 years. To say that no one saw...
Dave why don't you tell the people on this site how much money the SCTP youth teams have gotten from Midway endowment since it started, was that 5...
No buddy there Dan, don't know.
History Buff I've told you many times what I think of the leaders of the ATA. I've told everyone since at least Loving was VP that the ATA was...
I heard there was a yakerman sighting today at a restaurant near the entrance to the CC. Maybe he's the one feeding merlo all the secret info. I...
I've been shooting this way since my dad gave me a gun to shoot (right hand) and told me to keep both eyes open. I never realized a person had a...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Luke sent me these pictures of some of the work going on at the Cardinal Center getting ready for the kids SCTP Nationals. The...
WPT you can certainly remember when the Illinois State Association bought Mather's and instituted the 20 dollar state membership fee and all the back...
Maybe merlo's spy is a former member of the EC, possibly a stutter typer. Brad
Seitz9010, I had a couple of thoughts last night come to me. The EC has a new guy now (pipe layer) who used to seem to me to have the average ATA...
Could be to protect merlo's spies from Chicago politics.
HistoryBuff, Merlo told me the MOU is coming on this site for everyone to read sometime tonite. Then everyone can read it for themselves and make up...
I have come to the conclusion that Merlo must have a "man" on the inside. I'd guess either Greentitian or Hunter44, I'm leaning for hunter44 because...
I've viewed a copy of the actual signed MOU, looks a lot like m i c k e y M O U se club to me. Has the IDNR or ATA posted it yet? If they haven't...
I've heard Merlo has got some news from one of his local spies. Is this true?
duffkiss06, looks like my info on the SCTP from Dec 27 was right on the mark. My new info is that the MOU is now for only 2 or 3 weeks. PorchDog...
I've already talked with Luke and will be at the CC to help with the shoot anyway I can. I've talked to both Kenny Ray and Dave about doing...
I've heard the same news that the MOU is now for 2 or 3 weeks only. I've also read that the SCTP has a contract for 2017 with the IDNR so if the...
It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that I think the Leaders of the ATA, (delegates and EC members) are what is hurting registered...
I talked with the boys at the CC and it is a signed deal as of today. This will be great for the SCTP kid's families too, just think of all the...
I've heard the EC's secret plan to save the grand at Sparta, and the ATA in general, is to buy the winning lotto ticket in tonight's big powerball...
I want to know why there is not an all Kool Aid drinker team, I vote for Geentitian and hunter44 as co captains. Certainly they would have the most...
Leonidas, If you live in a state that allows gun control to run amuck you need to fix your own house. I spend my time making sure that here in Ohio...
It's been so long since I shot in Arizona that I don't know if these guys are from Phoenix or Tucson. I thought that the HOF would have gotten the...
I no longer go to Maryland, I lived there for 8 years and loved the Eastern Shore, great hunting but I felt like I had to get out when my kids got...
Good facts Kenny. It sucks when good facts get in the way of the official BS line from the EC. Easier targets, shorter targets, more satellite...
I've heard from two different shooters from the AZ area in the last month that the Martin money hasn't found it's way into the hof's coffers as of...
Family guy might have a point. BigDon in the grudge match did resemble Michigan State more than Alabama did the good Doctor. I did hear a rumor...
The number one thing that has cost the ATA shooters is the move to Sparta, Illinois. All the other dumb ass moves before and since pail in...
Watching Michigan State vs Alabama in the playoff game last week I couldn't help but think that maybe Dr. Longshot passed along some secret knowledge...
I think today is the one year anniversary for americantrapshooter.com if I'm not mistaken, although I don't know how that can be right, I remember...
Dan I think a collective WE TOLD YOU SO is in order right about now, so WE TOLD YOU SO. I feel better now. I'm planning on going to the Moulton...
I know that Jack told SCTP he'd build 16 skeet fields for the nationals if they'd commit to the CC. Not sure where they'd be but Jack does own...
Question --- When is the proper time to say I told you so? Answer ---- Right about now. Brad
I wonder when 'too late' is for the kool aid boys. I talked to a person in the firearms industry today and they still haven't heard anything on a...
I think this past year a lot of shooters got their eyes opened. American Trapshooter can't be a favorite of the Kool Aid drinkers and EC because...
No. There is so much more to holding a trap shoot than most ATA members realize. If the place is closed who does the parking, the trash, the camp...
I shot one PITA shoot in Vancover BC, had a great time. Leo and I shot the Canadian Championships there in 76 or 77, great time and a nice club. I...
Roger how about a past president's team, even though I haven't got my hat yet. Brad
I'd shoot some registered trap again. Brad
Roger you need to start a new thread I think. Brad
Why is there a relocation committee if the ATA is staying in Sparta? Brad
Leonidas, the ATA EC is who got the government involved in trap shooting in the first place when they went to an anti gun Illinois and signed a deal...
Does anyone believe that any state union would allow a non union, private, 501 c.3 to operate and event on state property without picketing the...
Has everyone just given up, I haven't seen the ATA held hostage week whatever for awhile. Doesn't anybody care anymore, if not the ATA is surely...
I've known Joel for years, I'd say he's an honest guy to do business with. A good shot too. Ask him about his 100 from 27 he broke to get his slam...
I had a conversation with someone this past week who should know tell me that Bill M is not as in love with the ATA as the Kool Aid Drinkers would...
Gary I kind of thought I might have it backwards, I remembered it worked out opposite of how I thought it might. Don won the 25 that was last but I...
