I am heading down to the Cardinal Center today for the OSTA HOF party and inductions. My daughter Paula got me set up on Face Book Live and if my...
Gary when I was on the osta board the SCTP director for Ohio ran the SCTP shoot off the books of Bubba. He wouldn't make it to the Ohio State shoot...
I shot a lot of shoots at the Pa home grounds. Back in the day when we used to walk the whole line from top to bottom you were rewarded by finishing...
Nice program.
It is hardly surprising to me that a few grand's worth of items are missing from Sparta, after all when the state pulled out it left the PROS in...
Targetbreaker. I think your approaching old age is making you forgetful, I'm sure you got your hitch back, are you sure your trailer didn't just fall...
Win101 Roger knows that I have been yelling about what he is talking about for at least 25 years. The ATA started down the tubes when they dumbed it...
I guess the next thing will be four or five more international pits for the world championships to be in the USA. Brad
Win101 Both, I've heard the shot curtains are to hide the Skeet Shooters from the public's eye, but that might just be the ranting of some old old...
Win101, it will affect them next year, every bank will have the same background. Brad
Merlo you certainly have the place wrong. I remember Greentitian and Hunter44', among others, assuring us that new motels would be built around the...
User 1 I think a graph would go good here, or at least a chart. BD
I think it has everything to do with this thread. The IDNR and the ATA has a history of loosing things, I also remember they miss placed a few...
Bat, I'd think both the IDNR and the ATA would (should) be more concerned with the few thousand campers and shooters that they seemed to have lost or...
Trappermike 1996 was two lifetimes ago, the Grand American back then had about 4000 shooters, (1745 last year) was in Vandalia Ohio a very pro gun...
Maybe shooters aren't shooting ATA as much. The great lakes shoot and Jaqua's shoots used to have over 1000 shooters between them on the weekend,...
I started shooting in 1974, the zone shoot then was 100 singles targets. Each zone picked 2 each AA through D class shooters, this was before the...
Leo didn't know what end of a screw driver to use, the only thing I ever saw him repair was his 1100. He was the apprentice parts manager for his...
FakeNews
Cam and Val is right, the Old guy wins. Bd
I have a theory that Merlo's real name might be Ivan Merlovoninsskhi or something. Certainly if you watch the fake news all the hacking that the...
HistoryBuff once again this year at the SCTP nationals I will be lobbying Tom to end the SCTP requirement of the kids having to be ATA members. The...
The ATA and Sparta (Gibson) had the SCTP for years and lost them to the Cardinal Center. Why in the hell will this new, fabulous, direction be any...
A fantastic direction.
WPT, Facts? Is all you have are these damn facts? I do like the graphs, makes me think of Winston. No I'm just kidding, keep up the reporting...
The first large shoot I ever attended was the Mid American. I can't remember if that was the year it snowed or another year but the weather wa...
Doc's Brick brings back memories. The grudge match was like Unitas VS Namath in the super bowl. Few believed Doc stood a chance. I remember all...
Family guy I think you need to lighten up on Ross, I've been called everything for years when I was the lone wolf reporting on the BS crowd that...
I think Luke and Jake are Turkey hunting right now so probably not paying much attention to the net. I was down there last month and place was busy...
I can tell you one case in particular that being tall would have been a disadvantage. At the Canadian Championships in 76 or 77 I was tied with a...
When I started shooting at my first couple of grands we didn't even get to pick our post let alone our squad in handicap. You paid your money and...
With single targets set so easy today just about every class at Ohio is won with a 198 and above, and a lot of years a 200. Averages in singles are...
Dick I've advocated more lower classes for ever. Instead of all the categories we should be shooting all classes. Age and sex does not determine...
Dick how many shooters were below 85 average? If you want to add classes the OSTA needs to go lower. Brad
When I started shooting trap in the very early 70's I shot at a Winchester club a bunch, they had skeet fields and I shot some skeet for fun there...
I never wanted mine past straight, I think it matters though more on what your make of trap gun is. Brad
Biggest drawback Illinois is an Anti gun, Hillary-Obama state. Not very friendly to ATA gun owners. Brad
WPT it's true about the Model 12, that what I was shooting when this photo was taken. We have really good small club meat shoots around my house...
I've got to thinking about this and I think 78 might have been the first year that Bill Jaqua leased the club from the Fisher's so this was called...
I was reading the HOF thread and thought I'd post this picture of what we shot for back in the day 7/4/78 at a Jagua's Calcutta. No Ribbons, No AA...
Just for everyone's info Jack bought a hotel elevator this winter for some reason. Brad
ATA shooting and Trapshooting are two distinct animals. I live in NW Ohio and have about 15 trap clubs within an hour drive of my house, of these...
I think a Trumptonian deal was made.
Just being nosey, How Much did he want? Brad
Cloverdale, Ohio had 89 entrees last Sunday for their monthly meat shoot. No ATA, no All american points, oh and they only have 2 trap fields. The...
Hang in there WPT, we old three hole shooters are hard to kill off. You need to stay around to keep the EC on their toes, so listen to the Docs,...
Roger didn't they change from weighing each target to weighing the case? I can't remember if that was fact or rumor. Different weight of the...
I heard they looked and flew just fine. I don't have any other details. I'll have to wait for Merlo I guess to fill in the blanks. Brad
win 101 If you have a specific question about how or why one of us shoot this post or that post for example just ask. I don't do my e-mail or...
I remember how hard Mickling targets were to break, but they were nowhere as hard as the Federal targets they threw at the grand (the real Vandalia...
