I voted for the Sparta Inn & Suites, They are probably following the SCTP. Also the drive from Cardinal isn't that much farther than shooters have...
A month ago Merlo started this thread and Today I just got a text from Luke making the official announcement of a ten year deal with the SCTP and...
How can you legally force someone to donate to a 501c3. I guess it would be an Illinois, Democrat, Union deal. But how can you put that stipulation...
I was to the CC today and posted what I know on the Merlo thread about big news, go read that.
Canton Jim, I don't know about the free targets but I do have some info from the Cardinal Center. I went down there today and was talking to the big...
Friends are one thing nobody can have enough of but on the other hand Jack Asses are way over supplied. Brad
I like your new handle Dave, I liked the old one too. I hope your still are, I'm glad Joe got you lined up. Brad
Good shooting, I still remember my first 25 straight over 45 years ago. Now that you know how to do it they will start coming more often. Brad
I like fresh burgers. The ones in roasters are too dried out. Shooters will appreciate good food more than fast food. The two trap clubs that...
Bets, Bets, I'm looking for bets.
Thanks Kenny
No I haven't but I'll be keeping an eye open for it. I also have a couple hundred old hunting books, all the Gene Hill books and I think all of...
I just got Russ Elliott's book off of e-bay so I thought I'd bump this fine thread to the Top. The history you guys put on here is great. I love to...
I've been buying old books off e-bay for many years and have acquired a lot of old time trap shooters books. I just bought one from Dick Baldwins...
That it does.
With the ATA think NASCAR. Going in circles is killing the sport. Both got away from their base and went bonkers. Neither listen to their...
TWO decades Don, get the story straight or I'm calling you and EC member. Brad
See
I talked to Jake and they shot the first targets over the curtains and it seemed to go well. We have had a lot of high winds around here and I asked...
Pitch of your stock is also very important for recoil. I shoot zero pitch, if you want to know why Dave Berlet and i did a U tube video several...
I shot the Grand one year with a shooter shooting a right handed 1100 on my left and a shooter shooting a left handed 1100 on my right. I got used...
I agree with you mpolans, I shot an unsingle for a couple of years, real well at 16's, not so good at handicap. I went with a top single and an add...
Sorry to hear about C.E.
I think you can get hung up on choke, pattern is much more important. I had Tommy Wilkinson choke my handicap barrel, with a choke tube that he...
Rookieshooter, I think your talking about Henry Sonders. I may have spelled his last name wrong but EG was always telling me a Henry story. Walt...
ollie I just wonder when these guys lost their gonads. You and I both know of a lot of worse stuff that happened at PA back in the day than what...
I just caught up with the Dave Schaeffer story that I'd missed for the last few months. The irony of the times at the ATA is a wonder. The ATA has...
I talked to Jake today and they were hanging curtains. He said they had about 40 up so far, he thought it would take 500 -550 to do the whole mile...
I'm bumping this to the top for Ed.
Another old timer gone, the big grand is filling up too fast for me, I hope they save me a position 2 or 5. Ed was a trap shooter in the best...
I don't know Jess Smollet. The target claimers though I've know too many. Some even get to be president. That's the nice thing about a pigeon...
Flyersarebest, You reminded me about one year back in the day when I was shooting handicap fairly well and Terry Jordan asked me what my handicap...
It's called math.
Roger I started a page of my own years ago for the ATA I call it "The go F##K yourself ATA" page and it has worked fine for me. 100% ATA fees free...
Good news I just heard that Jesse Smollett will be doing his community service this year at Sparta as assistant tournament director. Gipson can now...
A couple of weeks back Daniel and Jake came up hunting and they said basically what Bruce Gillian reported above, also the Farmstead is being renamed...
When Leo and I first started traveling and shooting together we would talk about "when we would get into the HOF", it was one of the driving factors...
He does have good eye sight though, he always manages to SEE A PIECE.
Pipe Layer was (is) a target claimer so why would anyone be surprised he is claiming ATA members today. Back in the day when I was shooting his...
Williams County had 92 shooters and about 7 grand in their calcutta on Sat. Non Registered of course.
WPT have you been hacked? I haven't seen that many graphs by anyone other than Neil. Thank You I've been wanting a graph for some time now and you...
Sometimes the bastards' win.
All you are reporting Merlo is one of the many reasons I quit shooting ATA and quit Tournament Directing. I will not support the ATA with any of my...
I just wonder if any one on here has heard anything from the ATA about the Anti Gun laws that Illinois is instituting? I know I like to pick on them...
One story I remember reading about Rudy was that he killed five quail on the covey rise with his 870 at a governor's quail hunt in Oklahoma.. I...
Melrose is one mile farther.
Doesn't bother me I don't go to Sparta or New York anymore, along with New Jersey, my old state of Maryland, California, Washington, and a couple...
Don I bought an old 1970's Red Label 20 ga. SK/SK like I hunted with in the late 70's. I could really shoot the other one I had. I show it to you...
I should tell you something about this subject that I don't even think Merlo knows. Last week I was at Jaqua's buying a Ruger Red Label and was...
I think that the Martins may have meant well but by propping up the EC in Sparta their actions have actually had a negative affect on the SPORT of...
