Never say never!
They didn't give in the first time but maybe a better deal is in the offering.
There's plenty of shooters posting high scores from the 27 at the grand but they never move anywhere either. I suppose this must be related to the...
They tried and were sent packing. A much smarter man owns Cardinal Center.
Thinking outside the box? We need more of this. Sure better than watching 80 yo and 20 yd. handicapped shooters flailing away at 27 yd. targets.
So you suggest everyone shoot from the 27 since it's no longer much of a handicap for some shooters or add a few yards of concrete to those who've...
I'm sure you'll enjoy receiving the bill for converting or replacing all the existing machines with wobble units. Besides, existing trap houses are...
My son Drew competed on four sub and junior ATA All-American teams back in the mid 60's. I know of only one shooter from that era who still...
Only one way to find out. Unfortunately, the wannabees will never let it happen.
Event #5 Handicap seemed to be a sucker bet as the 27 yd. shooters took 22/31 places of the top three scores. Anyone still doubt we need more...
Pretty hard to find an off the shelf Citori that fits a lefty. It's likely a designated left hand stock on a Zoli would fit him better.
The shoots I go to have way more kids carrying around Trap Specials, Guerinis, Seitz's and Berettas than Model 12's, 870's, Ithaca 4E's and Browning...
Many trapshooters change guns more often than their underwear. I know-I sell 'em-guns that is.
Telling a young shooter today that he should purchase a used Ljutic is like saying he'll be the most popular kid if only he'd be owning a Model 12,...
I think you'll do well to consider upgrading him to the Zoli. The younger shooters seem to do better with a high ribbed unsingle than many of us...
MD was visited and decided it was bursitis in hip. Shot, cortisone, therapy and drugs did absolutely nothing. X-rays again last Friday and awaiting...
Going through this crap right now. Chiropractor says it's an issue with L2 and L3. Standing any length of time is very painful and shooting is even...
Any particular areas not shown you're interested in seeing? I'll be getting the gun back from the owner probably tomorrow. He lives close by.
Tomorrow
Talked to the owner and It's still available. O/U barrels unfired and only a few hundred shells through the Unsingle. Let's talk!
Might be. I'll check with the owner if you're interested. Are you at $4,399? If you are I'll contact him and get it back.
Are you telling us Skip is not on the up and up?
1 year operating 7 days/week.
ATA shoots run by the law of diminishing returns. That is, since there are fewer shooters, prices must rise to maintain the same level of...
Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays-6.5 million.
Sure, they'll sell a few guns, but trap gun sales. along with diminished participation, have dropped significantly over the years. Like everything...
Word on the street is there were 2051 entries in the 200 Singles event. Up 25 to 30% over last year. The place is jammed. Sparta what?
Simple, call the ATA and request a move to the 25. The next two yards are on you.
Headed to next weeks recycle bin.
Why should you agree? If you want to play you gotta pay. If you don't have the skills to rise above minimum wage just take your Mossberg 500 with...
Gary answers questions with more meaningless questions. Best to ignore.
Garry, the money paid out to ATA shooters comes out of the shooters pockets. Entry fees pay for the trophies. If you want to shoot practice only...
Simple, it's easier to write out a check to Harlan or several of the under-handicapped attendees and save the ammo and target fees than try to...
In my pool playing youth even putting .25 or .50 on the line made you work harder not to lose. Later, those $20 bets on a game made it even more...
Yup, I designed quite a nice course myself. You don't have to throw 'em fast-just tricky.That's why I asked smoking357's protégé to clarify his less...
Please enlighten us how fast a typical Sporting Clays target travels!
Maybe he's exceeding his allowed computer use time in the state pen or some happy valley. We can only hope he doesn't have access to a firearm.
Boy, you are a genius. I had one of those old Western wobble traps in one of our houses over 40 years ago. Nothing but a pita for the loader having...
Why fool with silly wobble or easy sporting targets? Let's make live bird shooting the new event and discard easy ATA trap altogether. Well, at least...
If you failed at pulling the trigger several times on a target you were way overdue for a release trigger. Enjoy the ride-it'll be worth it. Many of...
One of our local shooters bought a used one as a backup gun for his Perazzi MX-2000 and planned to shoot it for doubles. When he showed it to me on...
In 1955 ammo was loaded with cardboard wads, soft shot and less that 70% patterns. Breaking a 90 from the fence got you an attaboy. Today?
So how many switches do you suggest the entire country needs on all their existing traps to make your dream a reality? At what cost? The last time I...
In the most recent Trap and Field magazine our ATA President Terry Dean claims points and averages are the big draw instead of money. Since so few...
If you're not happy with US targets move to a country where your enormous talent can be recognized!
One year of fast pitch with a .350 plus BA but totally inept at 2nd base. I really sucked at slow pitch both hitting or catching. None of the teams I...
I think I know that guy. We wouldn't allow him on our course anymore without a scorekeeper after he always pulled that trick at every shoot. Really...
A well designed course mixes up fairly easy shots with a sprinkling of very difficult ones. FYI, over twice as many trap targets are thrown each year...
They might be tougher for you but my high score on a fluffed up course was 96/100. Guy on my squad broke all 100. Some guys can just plain old shoot...
Yeah, he got me once-that dreaded last ring. I remember going straight, knees shaking and calling for one of my last birds. The old SX-1 was humming...
