I think this past year a lot of shooters got their eyes opened. American Trapshooter can't be a favorite of the Kool Aid drinkers and EC because...
No. There is so much more to holding a trap shoot than most ATA members realize. If the place is closed who does the parking, the trash, the camp...
I shot one PITA shoot in Vancover BC, had a great time. Leo and I shot the Canadian Championships there in 76 or 77, great time and a nice club. I...
Roger how about a past president's team, even though I haven't got my hat yet. Brad
I'd shoot some registered trap again. Brad
Roger you need to start a new thread I think. Brad
Why is there a relocation committee if the ATA is staying in Sparta? Brad
Leonidas, the ATA EC is who got the government involved in trap shooting in the first place when they went to an anti gun Illinois and signed a deal...
Does anyone believe that any state union would allow a non union, private, 501 c.3 to operate and event on state property without picketing the...
Has everyone just given up, I haven't seen the ATA held hostage week whatever for awhile. Doesn't anybody care anymore, if not the ATA is surely...
I've known Joel for years, I'd say he's an honest guy to do business with. A good shot too. Ask him about his 100 from 27 he broke to get his slam...
I had a conversation with someone this past week who should know tell me that Bill M is not as in love with the ATA as the Kool Aid Drinkers would...
Gary I kind of thought I might have it backwards, I remembered it worked out opposite of how I thought it might. Don won the 25 that was last but I...
Trapshooting HOF member John Sternberger shot a Model 21, very well too. Look up his records from the late 50's and 60's. I remember he canted it...
Both these guys were fun to deal with and good sports. I can't remember how much money we raised but it was a tidy sum I do know. Thanks to both of...
The ATA has never had a really fanatical shooter base, the average lifespan is/was about three years for a member. So generating new members was...
I hope Punkin is having a better holiday season than the HOF is. Brad
There can never be a better Rocky movie than the first one, sequels are never as good as the original. The Grudge Match is the same, a new one can...
Still not too late to order you I TOLD YOU SO tee shirts. I'm also taking thanksgiving dinner orders from ATA EC and Sparta supporters. The menu...
Don what was the winning 20 ga score? I have one of those 20 ga guns you remember, NOT tubed like some of your squad mates futile attempt at the...
My source tells me sometime in April and the college SCTP shoot will be in October in 2016. I was also told everyone enjoyed the place (maybe even...
Dr. Longshot, apathy has, is, and was what has caused the situation that trap shooting is in. You've been around longer than me, think of all the...
NO, NO, NO 71/2's. If you don't think bigger is always better just ask yourself have you ever seen a 2 3/4 inch dildo (maybe at a skeet shoot)? Brad
Buying Trophies for an ATA shoot today has to be a nightmare. In the first place you can't fool math and when you have so many damn categories,...
Greta C , Or stay home and shoot your local trap club, Cloverdale, Oh will have a 50 bird meat shoot Sunday. It costs 18 dollars and half the...
WPT, also remember the ATA has been using kids to pump up the numbers and we haven't seen a breakdown of contestants since Stuart left. Brad
The EC member who was also the trophy provider is Dead now, you can figure out who it was, but the other EC members who authorised this are still...
Motor Doctor, You mentioned Steubenville. I remember a tri state shoot back in 75 or so that I stood beside the Sheriff a of the county as we...
Man this article was an interesting read. I have a few takes on it. The ATA offered to run the facility and give the state all the money in the...
HistoryBuff is gone for a week or so but he will know what is to be known about your patches, they are very nice. I think you can PM him from this...
Time marches on, week 11 is almost here. The part about hiring someone from the shooting world may be true. I've heard if the place does reopen a...
Karla sent me this in an email so I'm posting it (Ann is) for her like she asked. Brad Hey Brad, I got a phone call today and learned that my sign...
You guys are just mean. Brad
The really sad thing about Jim's story is it has happened over and over for years. The AA points thing is important, remember I was an All American...
Looks like the Louisiana Punkin's squad was having a good time. Lindenwood looks to have a lot of shooters. Nice pictures of all the kids, good to...
Jim I'm asking so please tell. Brad
Thanks HistoryBuff, I'd have loved to met Mrs Topperwein and watched her shoot. I've shot with many woman on my squads over the years, a lot of them...
Dave I'm just feeling nostalgic for the old days when I could get a good internet debate going with some committed (or maybe they've been committed...
Trap Shooting used to be about ability, class, yardage. Age, sex, race, gender meant nothing. Ability was what made a great shooter. How many...
Dave I thought it was minnship8 that was going to kick your butt. He's AWOL too I think. Brad
I've realized that one of my main nemesis has been missing in action for some time now. I did some research and found out that he was banned. I've...
HistoryBuff you know I think the ATA is doomed, and a lot of the reason is just what you describe. I've been very disappointed in my fellow HOF...
I miss the kool aid crowd banter. That's the one downside of being proven right. I miss the arguing and name calling. Please, Please kool aid guys...
I think that one problem is that once you become a VP you automatically stay on to become president of the ATA. Historybuff should be able to tell...
Yes historybuff details please, what year, what did vote say yea or nea? Has the rule ever been used? Don't leave us hanging. Brad
If a tree falls at Sparta ( that's if there was a tree) would any trap shooter hear it? Brad
It looks like bigdon with the shovel, and sure that small lump in the snow has greentitian's name all over it. Hunter44 must have fallen down and...
Since the ATA board as a whole, the delegates, had access to Bob Glatz's report and were in effect warned at another point by a Lawyer about what to...
Dan, I'm glad you got Bob's stuff. He talked to us at the CC the year I was president of the osta. I found all the papers but I'm glad you posted....
I have a lot of that in my files and I'll look for it. May be a few days. Brad
