Thank you gentlemen, this is information I have been looking for a while now. I appreciate it......... Larry

My son is now the owner and operator of my old, OLD, Mec 650, while he mainly loads the Remington offerings he can also do quite well on all others...

Isn't that cute............ lets see now, abortionists and queers for Hillary...... no wonder the socialist is ahead...... Larry

We have had quite a run of VERY COLD weather with temperatures as low as -9°F. I use both straight wall and tapered hulls, I have used 3 different...

Quotes and comments from trapshoots..... The sport is dying. ATA is not responsive to shooters. Trapshooters do a lot of complaining and whining....

Will the closing of the shooting area put the $16500 in jeopardy? Seems it should but if the fishing ponds are still open perhaps $3.oo for a willow...

Seems there are two ATA's........ the Camelot with King whomever, his trusty $16,500 Excalibur and a select "Round Table" of knights to keep him and...

Wonderful post Roger, a positive suggestion that could perhaps get some new blood into the organization and the sport. Without creating a pathway...

Please note my post did not refer to anyone or any point of view in particular, nor did I single out a particular site. I would gather that unless I...

Family guy, you have to know everyone has to start somewhere. My message should come across to folks as an indication of the picture being placed in...

It's interesting to read the posts on various forums about ATA, PITA and a couple other Trapshooting associations. Folks belong to local clubs and...

And that is very possible... it was a long time ago. I sat in the trap house as a boy in the mid 50's and it was clay's by then. The world has...

I read a few articles on events held in Wallowa County, Walla Walla Washington and Flora Oregon. It seems there were events that required different...

Everyone shoots from the same yardage...... a competitor gets one extra shot for every point under a 96 average. That ought to even things out a...

No answer? If the game is going to go that way then there has to be a concrete objective........ there has to be something concrete to build the...

What defines almost impossible? General terms and phrases leave multiple openings for interpretation...... I guess that since most folks do not...

Gary, As a new shooter I have no idea at all what the "Old ATA" was but I find it hard to believe that if the association was as good as folks say it...

Gary, Do you really believe it takes money to have a competition? Do you really believe someone has to loose something before there is a...

Perhaps something we overlook while thinking of competition is a shooters view of themselves and what they think is competition. Three old friends...

If this discussion is going to produce positive inputs some definitions are needed so folks are talking (typing) the same language. Easy, hard, long,...

I took the time to read the instructions that came with this new 9000H (surprised the hell out of my wife) , carefully read all the hints and tips...

Does it seem then that a move toward "invitational" events might be in order? Or perhaps events open to 95% and above with a handicap of 25+ yards?...

Any event where a majority of the contestants are way out of the running is not competitive......... 85% over 90?? Means someone better stay on their...

I personally have no interest in personal vendetta's or the use of posts to criticize or denounce individuals. For the last few years I have been...

Several individuals have sent loads in for testing using tapered hulls, there are numerous loads for 1 1/8 oz that are 1200 fps or close that are...

Any organization chooses a path....... either to facilitate and enhance the objectives of its members or to control and exploit its members. You and...

AZCOTRAP, You are very fortunate to have so many options for your recreation and in my post I made direct reference that I did not know the situation...

Whether its ATA or club activities "all doing ok" does not represent what is taking place. It seems that User 1 has the opinion that non ATA shoots...

I suppose it is really nice to have a convenient scapegoat.... Doesn't matter which side of anything you choose to support or fight just pick a...

Just a bit of a different thought here...... The items you list above are all true but during the course of the events the rules for those activities...

I cannot give you a comparison as I have only ever used MEC for my shotgun reloading...... over a span of 65 years beginning with a Herters (?) with...

I recently had surgery on both eyes... bit of metal removal from the Nam days, cataracts from age, replaced both lens's. I find that the reds (from...

ATA yes, PITA probably...... Larry

Vermillion..... Larry

And that is as it should be...... if members have heartburn they should make it known to their representative and let the process work. Thank...

I have read them, I am not lecturing you. I am asking the question..... Is the ATA BOD and EC representative of its membership? Does the...

N1H1 My statement was just a general statement about organizational management forgetting they represent the body of the organization (the members)....

N1H1, I seriously doubt that asking a question is remotely connected to expressing my feelings. I do not know who Bill is but I guess he and I must...

I guess I am missing something here. I only have 3 years involvement with the ATA and have only a few registered birds but I was under the...

Am I incorrect in thinking the role of president and the bod is to implement the will and decisions of the membership? I do not know but I would...

I understand the cool-aid was made with sour grapes. Larry

Good thing you were not in Jamestown....... Larry

No embarrassment here, no shame, no guilt, no made up excuses for my actions or my beliefs. The names I listed in my post are on the wall, their...

The brass wool is ordered. I do not use a powder bushing, I have an adjustable charge bar on my MEC 9000. 19.4 grains of the AS in a straight wall...

I suspect 357 received a different set of life experiences..... probably voted for O and waiting for Hillary....... Larry
