Some Delegates have the interest of the shooters at heart, some are in it for their own gratification and the recognition the position brings. These...
You have to realize that the Sparta complex is State Government owned and most times you donot get the brightest lights running the show. Illinois...
Larry, All elected Delegates have a vote for the State/Province that elected them, that being said, carrying the same weight may depend on who you...
I honestly believe that the additional trophies (High Lady I, High Lady II, High Junior Gold, High Sub-Veteran) were ill thought out. One trophy for...
It appears that the powers to be feel that they are presently doing the right thing(s) for the ATA or do they have another agenda? I certainly don't...
Congrats to a great shooter and one of the good guys
Hap, I take Arthrotec 75 mg 2 tablets daily, one in the morning and one at supper, these must be taken right after eating with a full glass of water....
I believe the ATA will remain a viable association as long as the member clubs continue to throw registered targets. The AtA may not be as large as...
Good shooting Hap,hope this is just a good start to the coming season.
It does not make sense form a purley business point for the ATA to own enough land and the facilities to hold one to three tournaments per year. At...
I have heard that there is a waiting list for the cabin rentals, also you get a preference for renting for the present 3 major shoots at the Cardinal.
In my opinion there are presently too many categories that appear only to give someone a trophy, that being said I would like to see a category for...
As always very good information from HistoryBuff, it appears that history does indeed repeat itself
According to what has been stated above Stuart re-classified the shooter in question after it was brought to his attention. Again after what was...
I donot believe that an ATA All-American solid "A" from the previous year should be classified as"D". That being said it is in the eyes of the...
If we ever went to the longer targets (50-52 yd, straight away from 1 and 5 ) the top dogs would still win a lot of handicap events maybe not as many...
Good site, interesting comments, not a lot of negative crap from contributors, mostly enjoying
With the nearby traffic collisions and planes falling out of the sky are there any birds left at Brad's to shoot, hope everything is not scared off.
I like Hap donot recall any shooter handing over their gun to trap personal after a perceived misfire. Usually the trap person would come down from...
The "SILENT MAJORITY" appears to be the problem, they remain silent express almost no opinion of if they have one do not act on it in any way. This...
It seems like coach #1 in the above does not understand the rules required to call the scores before moving stations or is one of those people who...
As I understand it in order to make any changes to ATA Rules the majority of Delegates must be on side that means that to get changes the shooters...
My Spolar sits at 26 1/2" from the floor, my chair is at 21 ", everyone is different, hope this helps.
As I recall Ljutic in the 1980's made what some people referred to as a Banana Gun. This gun had what looked like a barrel within a barrel, choke...
FG. I did not indicate that the ATA move to Sparta was a good move. I just stated how the move took place. Anytime you move a venue away from the...
From what I have read and heard the Dayton Airport was going to expand (that project fell through) taking away some of the traps that were on leased...
While I too would like to see an income and expense statement that would be understandable and would show all the little and large payouts I donot...
Good to hear, it will be interesting to see where the certificates and gift cards are offered.
Does anyone really expect a write in request no matter from how many will get anything changed. Some people should take off the rose coloured...
Most shooters want to improve, whether they want to work at it to improve is the question. We all know shooters that shoot one round of practice a...
By having written requests to the ATA and delegates would at least have more of a chance for a motion at the ATA meeting at the Grand. If this is...
Everyone has an opinion, a Grand Slam is still a Grand Slam regardless of shells, before 1985 or after give the people who have accomplished this...
If I am going to a shoot with some friends and wish to shoot together we will pre-squad, if I go alone I will pick my squads when I arrive.
Kinda off topic from the original post, let's all leave personalities out of our discussions if we can.
In my opinion anyone who has accomplished a Grand Slam should be acknowledged no matter when this was accomplished. Just think of the number of...
I would hope for the sake of ATA shooting that there is no truth in this statement. While in my opinion the Grand in Sparta is not the same as the...
Like as been said how do you challenge a shell that has been shot, if a person intentionally shoots illegal shells that person would in all...
And on and on we go never to know the outcome.
It is very rare the the person scoring, usually a teenager or sometimes an adult will call a failure to fire and mark it on the score sheet....
At one time our club had a youth team that shot for our club at the Grand in the youth team competition. We let them practice at our club at no cost...
I also hope it stays this way. time will only tell.
The other site was civil when it first started, I can remember when everyone was trying to be the 100,000 poster, funny I can't remember who obtained...
Years ago a friend of mine who did some taxidermist work recommended using brake fluid to restore the texture of horns and noses. Put a small amount...
Ljutic 41, You are right Dan Bonillas shot an MX-3 Combo, the DB81 named aftr him he could not shoot it and went back to the MX-3
It seems to me that most shooters are reluctant to call a failure to fire against a fellow squad shooter but if someone on the squad calls this then...
Has anyone heard of someone being pulled from the line or disqualified from being under the influence of drugs?
Over 30 yrs ago I had a good buddy that was on the drug squad, he used to say that if pot was lagalized it would lead a lot more people into harder...
A day for the good Doctor, enjoy!
