If the Grand isn’t going to be held the week before the Cardinal Classic perhaps the Buckeye could be held on those dates in August?
Dave, I think Bubba or the Cardinal posted new dates for the Buckeye today. However, I was told the dates posted for the Buckeye are September...
Brad, Early this week I had a long conversation with one of the major vendors from the Cardinal. They had decided they wouldn’t be setting...
Sad to hear this but completely understandable given the current orders coming out of the Governor’s office. All campgrounds are still closed, no...
[ATTACH] Sad but true, Big Papa has resigned as President of the Newport Sportsmans Club. He has much to be proud of over his 15 years of service to...
Doug, I’m pretty sure Paul Fiegel is third from the left. Willie Is second from the right and Merle is third from the right. Hopefully Dave...

My recommendation was to hold the Zone shoots concurrently with the championship events of either the Karen’s Cup or the Buckeye Open and hold Zone...
Brad, You can give him a call about the shells, its the fellow that owns Royal. It looks like Winchester only made the model 36 from 1920 to...
[ATTACH] A friend of mine found three boxes of these shells to go with his Winchester model 36 garden gun. I had to look them up as I had never...
Get yourself a Terry Jordan wall chart. It’s the perfect tool to use when you can’t get outdoors. Just mounting and opening the gun 50 to 100 times...
Haha! I never was been too goodly at this readin’ and writin’ stuff. Blame that one on my old eyes? Jim and I are usually on the same page so I...
Jim, I’m not at all sure what you mean by “it’s for the weak”. The Outlaws I shot with couldn’t care less about showing up another shooter or...
Jim, It’s possible that some of the non-registered protector only shooters might shoot some handicaps, but I wouldn’t count on it. Those guys...
Now that the O.S.T.A. has removed the target requirements for the Ohio State shoot, which is typically the week after the PA State shoot, I think it...
Brad, I can certainly attest to the open choke and big shot size philosophy. I normally use a cylinder bore and skeet choke in my 20 ga O/U at...
I had a very similar problem with my PW 800+. Wad would catch on the top edge of the hull about every 30 to 40 shells (and sometimes more...
Sad to see this but with the Governor’s latest order I think all clubs will have to suspend operations until April 6th. Let’s hope we can get going...
Spoke with a Board member yesterday and this subject is already on their minds. The way things are going we might be lucky if we have a state shoot.
Sausage and peppers? Tom, you are missing the real problem. None of Sara’s famous pies! I live 3 hours away and love to shoot but I’d risk the...
Pretty sure Brad meant “surprised” not “supervised”. Ann hates it when Brad isn’t supervised!
Latest news out of Texas is if we can drum up some decent weather for the Calcutta we might get TWO shooters from down south instead of just one....
Working on getting a member of the 2020 Texas State Team up here for the Calcutta. If I remember correctly the last time ole Tex came to the...
Happy Valentines Day to my lovely wife! She likes to shoot and hunt as much as I do. I consider myself very lucky to have her in my life.
For a couple of years I was fortunate to be allowed to shoot on a squad with Dave Berlet, Willie Anderson, Ken Berger and Tom Hildebrand. I was the...
I’m with ya BIG PAPA. I’d like to try the NY style too. I don’t have any problems shooting all orange or all white targets at night under the...
Just the opposite. It’s just my opinion, but I think the curtains are a bit too far from the traps. I’m not as certain as my friend BIG PAPA is...
The shot curtains at the Cardinal are dark in color so really any bright solid colored target would stand out against them. The only issue I’ve...
Does the Butler semi-auto eject out the bottom?
Seems kinda silly for me to post these after seeing averages from Brad, Eric and Ciaran but since my squad mate T Jordan posted his I had to look...
Holy cow! I think I’ve had 6 100’s in doubles in 27 years of ATA shooting and you had 13 in that season alone. That’s some good shooting Sir!
Wow, 5 more bunker layouts! Maybe Columbus, Oh is planning to apply to the IOC to host a summer Olympic Games.
Will the CC be adding another bunker trap layout?
The facility is large enough to run both those hypothetical shoots at the same time. I believe both organizations allow cross registering of targets...
Ciaran has me beat! I better stick to pheasants and beer.
I usually average about 3 more pheasant then Brad releases for me. That’s good dog work!
2013 was my last year on the OSTA BOD. BIG PAPA is a good friend and we text / talk frequently. If he says he doesn’t know what you are talking...
While BIG PAPA remains a tremendous advocate for all forms of trapshooting, he hasn’t been on the OSTA Board of Directors for a few years. The OSTA...
Ms. Mueller is indeed an excellent choice for the WSRC. She has a very strong background in gun club and shoot management. As for her shooting...
I had heard that Jack was putting in some more skeet fields to accommodate the growing numbers of SCTP shooters. I believe they had to use some of...
The only Merlo I know comes from Snively Wines but they spell it funny (Merlot). Should I be looking for a set of bunker barrels? And a bunker...
Maybe a couple more bunker trap fields so the C.C. could host an International match or an Olympic selection match? That would be pretty cool!
I thought the same thing as Flyers. Brad, I sent some pictures of the poles to Ann’s phone. I’m not bright enough to figure out how to get...
Brad, I was told the poles that broke were in front of the bunker. Of course the bunker is next to trap 4 D so it would probably effect bank...
What a perfect day for a winter Calcutta! There were 77 shooters in the Lewis and 75 in the Calcutta. There were shooters from Indiana, Kentucky,...
It is with great sadness that I report of the passing of Clyde Findley. Clyde served the shooters of Ohio for many years. He was a past President...
Address is: 233 Stanford Parkway, Findlay Ohio.
Stopped by the new Jaqua's location this afternoon. It is fantastic! From the outside it doesn't look very flashy, but inside is another story....
