A huge CONGRATS to Summer Gobrecht for winning the 2018 Grand American H.A.A.! For those that don't know her, Summer is a young lady from NW Ohio....
Just doing some quick math it looks like the first day was up almost 9%! 8.93% to be more exact but still off to a great start. Looks like a very...
By the time we shot handicap on Thursday those workers were probably at home drinking a beer! We left right after we finished which was after 7:30...
It's funny you mention that because I did have some folks ask me how we kept drawing banks one and two. We pulled squads for the last six events of...
Family Guy, I shot the Indiana State shoot from Thursday afternoon through Sunday. Not sure that drawing for banks makes anything fair at...
Columbus, The Ohio State shoot used a six class (AAA) system this year. D class is 90% and below. One of many reasons that that we never...
The 2017 WV State shoot was held at a club we called "Mc Adoo Ridge" but I believe the real name of the club is Brooke County Sportsman's Club. I'm...
On the ATA's website there is a very nice attendance report for the U.S. Open.
I will arrive tomorrow evening. Looks like the weather forecast for Wednesday through Friday is sketchy, weekend looks really nice. Not supposed to...
I finally made it to my first West Virgina state shoot last year. I had a great time there! The folks running the shoot were very friendly and I...
Big Papa has definitely reached that age where he will tell you EXACTLY what is on his mind when you ask him a question! No filter. He was a good...
Great question for HB. The Ohio association was formed in 1887 but I would guess that some of the eastern States predate that. Hopefully HB will...
One of my favorite stories of Dave Berlet is the time he was shooting at Mason Michigan in a 200 bird singles event and he forgot to load a shell for...
I got it now Doc! Good idea practicing with the slower 1 oz shells. We have both shot more than our fair share of extra wide and super fast targets...
Doc, Not sure if I understand correctly. Do these go on the rib at the mid-bead location? If I remember correctly the original Perazzi MX 9...
Garry, I think it is a crime here in Ohio (especially at the Cardinal Center) to use the words "least" and "donuts" in the same sentence!...
I finally made it to the West Virginia State shoot last year and had a great time, nice club. I've heard great things about both Stockdale and the...
You can't remember what you had for breakfast yesterday. How the heck can you remember that you were happy in 1954? Oh well, I will refer to you as...
I just have to ask; Is "Czaring" a real word or did Brad make that one up? Also, will we be required to shoot guns either made or designed prior to...
I was with that dusty old dude on Sunday. Thornbottom still has a week or two of hunting left in this season. Once that's done Brad will have some...
H.B. I am constantly amazed at the history you present to us. Its very impressive that you have all this information in your files. Its even...
Sounds like fun to me! Maybe we can dust off that Dysinger fellow and get him to come out and play. If its for $$$ and Brad doesn't have to give...
Since it would appear the Virus was directing the above quote to me I will try to give him an answer. The Jaqua's 5/50 shoots were not exactly...
That's a nice hit rookieshooter, congrats! I'm glad to hear that shoot is still going strong. I guess that answers the question of the poll above....
There is a club near Shelby Ohio that we always called Snake Road. Not sure if that is the real name of the club or if that is just the name of the...
My wife and I loved those Beretta 5 hole 50 yard shoots at Jaqua's. She won it once and I won it 3 times. One of my wins earned me 682 Gold E...
Those are it, thanks HB! I'm getting heartburn just looking at that picture of the sausage.
One of my favorite beer tent memories would have to be when I stopped by there to say hi to Dave Berlet. A rather tipsy Dave said "sit down, I wanna...
Cant believe this is post 10 of this thread and nobody has mentioned those fantastic Italian sausages! And the Shuckin' Shack for some questionable...
Brad, Those 70,000 shooters are the ones the ATA needs the information from. I agree that they have expressed themselves by not shooting...
"Has there been any Polls from ATA or any other organizations about shooter preference? Might be a good way to get a national "thread" going on the...
The Backwards Virus goes to SUBWAY for lunch! I wasn't going to blame President Kennedy's assassination on him but now that I know he eats at that...
Humor is all we have left, Brad! All either of us can do now is try see the humor in the absolute irony of the posts from LimaShooter50, Wildcat...
Roger is on to something there! We might have to work on the category name. "Older Than Dirt Super Seniors" sounds a bit harsh but it does convey...
Robb, Farmer Gold! I love that one. Of course, here in Ohio declaring Farmer Gold would put you into a VERY large group. I know a good many...
Lets face it Brad, you and I just see things differently than most. Like I told you, I think at this point we should cheer on those that want AAA,...
I have been told that Ron Arter will be serving out the remainder of Dan's term on the O.S.T.A. B.O.D.
Brad, Looks like a happy group! Good to see you out guiding/hunting again. No fair using that "brand new" model 12! I hope you gave those...
Yes, PA has a AAA class at their state shoot. There are 4 events at the PA and OH state shoots that offer a Class Purse: singles and doubles...
LimaShooter, The Ohio State shoot is already one of the best money shoots in the country and we have never had AAA. Now you are trying to tell...
LimaShooter, Please tell me EXACTLY what shooters you are seeking protection from. Name names. Just don't tell me Ricky, Harlan, Dave...
Robb, The OSTA did in fact simply say no to the changes. The answer to your question as to what the ATA would do is simple, they just made the...
When the ATA decided to add the new categories, the OSTA President called the ATA President and told him the OSTA would not have the new categories...
Got the chance to visit with Dave today and I’m happy to report that he is doing great and is in very good spirits! Looks like I will have my squad...
Brad, The Williams County youth shooting steak dinner event is still going strong! I try to go every year with Scott. We usually shoot the...
Joe left out one important Thank You, the one to himself. Joe always works his butt off for the events at Williams County and we shooters appreciate...
How the heck did that Dysinger fellow get in? Wasn't he Leo's caddie?
Mike J, I have always thought the term "cheek slap" means any movement of the gun that causes discomfort to the cheek. Sounds silly to state...
Hey now! I think the 16th is a bonus deer gun season day in Ohio so Thornbottom Hunting Preserve might be closed. That means Mr. Dysinger can come...
2013 was my last year on the OSTA Board. The crazy promotions we pulled off back then came with some financial risks, but we always made them work...
