paBob you are just being mean.
Dan and Dave have spanish blood in their veins, and were/are/still kool trap shooters in a pinch.
Michigan had years of miss management before you started shooting. The MTA grounds were paid for at least 2 times that I know of. I think it was...
Many older semi auto shotguns have a mag cut off. I love my Beretta 302's for that reason and I believe the old A 5's had one. What does change...
Now the old guys drive their golf cart one trap to the next, as the young guys do too and all trap shooters get fatter and fatter. Terry have you...
I got hooked into re reading this old thread, much like I do old hunting books, and I have to say it is both enjoyable and frustrating.
The Cardinal shoot was off something like 40% for the week. We had plenty of help but not near the quality that we had when I last was a Tournament...
When I was actively shooting ATA I walked the line at all clubs I shot at in AZ, at three different clubs in Reno, two in Las Vegas, in Kansas, in...
Mike I was lucky to get the osta to switch ends on the 16's championship day so at least you had to shoot 8 different traps. That has went away at...
Just because Michigan has kicked OSU's ass the last two years doesn't mean the OSTA should follow Michigan's Trap Shooting idea's anywhere. They...
Maybe this was why the rush to let the Mexican's into the SW zone. The mexican GAH is in the future. Not much difference beteen Illinois and...
And Mike I forgot to mention all of those shoots were done with ink an paper long long before the first computer.
Mike you are wrong. It worked for years and years. All shoots should walk the line if you want a fair shoot. Many of today's AA's can't shoot a...
A good round of name calling is always a good read. What I've always liked about the net is the ability to set at my desk and F**k with people...
There was a plan to build ice aircraft carriers during WW2, I can't remember if it was US or British Brains that came up with it.
RJ dosn't do the Silver Dollar anymore. Drawing for banks is 1980's tech. Too hard for today's ATA State Associations.
Why didn't shoot management take care of this at the shoot. The TD should have stopped it, the trap puller should have not allowed it, the line ref...
I heard today that the osta might be reconsidering it's $10 Lewis Class move at the next osta meeting. I don't know if they are going back to the...
BIG PAPA I think you ment to say Dave does not like to buy.
Don Merlo Smerlo, catching the ATA telling a lie ain't that big of a deal. I don't know why Kiner would have voted to let the mexicans have a...
Who Cares, Merlo is losing his/hers/its/they/them/those/us/thems edge by asking questions? In the olden times he/she/it/them/those/ect,ect.ect had...
BIG PAPA Lima 50 should be PMing Dave about saving some kruat. Last time I was at the New Year's shoot that was who I saw hanging around the food...
The Illinois grand has been a failure from year one, check the numbers. Might of, could bee, who knows. The facts say the move is the reason....
Roy D, Only things that happen are the grand gets smaller, the all american team larger, the money in Gipson's bonus more and the ATA sheds members....
Guss I don't understand your point. I can't remember Gary tooting the govs horn or any business for that matter. I don't know what year you became...
I bought my Lifetime Membership in 1976 and when I did I received a fancy piece of paper that said I was an owner of the ATA. It looked like a one...
This is for Joe Nester, I heard by the grape vine that the winner of the calcutta at Williams, Co on Sat. got around $6,000 and the runner-up about...
They let their shooters change their scores.
Doc I've moved on from trap shooting. I've decided to keep all the money I won over the years and not give anyone a chance at taking it from me. So...
Illinois SUCKS. Here in the former ATA home state of Ohio we carry when we want, how we want, and what we want. So since I never plan on going to...
Thanks to Brandon today the South West Zone is Mexico. Nice to hear you are still alive.
After two days I think Merlo is on the squad with Winston, rip.
Need I say manditory reductions once again?
Free two yards off was for two years in a row. The ATA motto of never let a bad idea go to waste was in play that second year. Singles became fun...
I don't know how many of you have been paying attention to Elon Musk's twitter releases about the government, the dems, the fbi and the cia all going...
Daro should be in and so should Dave Bopp. They both shot enough years to qualify without a special pass like the Martin's got. Money talks but it...
Are you fishing this year?
I really miss good duck hunting. We haven't had any ducks to speak of for 8 years now. I'm not sure why but I'd guess $8 corn that caused so many...
This couldn't have been done without Rodger Edgington, him and I worked the key board and Rodger Brenner raised the cash and I remember Joe Nester...
Joe if my eyes were better I'd be up there trying to get that money.
Dave Berlet told me today that Down Range Wads Kevin and Kenny Berger both told him that is the case. Not any powder from Canada or EU it's all...
I think it was in 2010 or 11 Doc but it seems longer ago for sure, Joe sure know for sure. Don't forget the rules, three hole 55 yard targets from...
RIP Bill (WPT). I've missed him on here for several months. Joe and I were always talking about him and his health when we talk on the phone. We...
not at all
Missouri is my favorite state. I don't know why any concervitive would live in a commie state. I liked the eastern shore of Maryland very much when...
President Trump knows that the place to be is Vandalia, Ohio and not Sparta, Illinois. Too bad the ATA BOD and HOF aren't as smart. I think...
Vic Reinders
Thanks and I hope you make it.
Nice pictures.
Good Program, what kind of crowd do you expect?
