I didn’t miss anything, Oleo. I said I didn’t want my money going to the ATA, and I’m voting/speaking with my wallet by not shooting any more. Saving...
Well, I’d rather him have it and me to think I had a chance to break even every once in a while versus giving it to the ATA that took that away.
Who do you think made more per handicap event?
Yep, I agree 100% Roger.
You’re good at looking up averages, but how much did Bonillas win in 1975 with a 1% lower average than Lamont this year? Ahhh, now we see a...
The numbers for the ATA have been dropping significantly for a long time, after 2005ish seemed to have quite a decrease for some reason, I can’t...
No, I never said anything about creating a new organization, I picked a new one- the NSCA, which wasn’t because of either organization if I’m being...
You said both are still shooting trap, but I looked them up on the ATA website and it looks like they are shooting a lot less trap in the last year...
I’m not Brad, but that ain’t fair- if one club/shoot throws the harder targets in today’s ATA with today’s shooters, the club would go bankrupt. The...
At the PA State Sporting Clays shoot this year I saw Don Shaffer JR and John Manetta Jr on a squad together, seems someone else I recognized from...
You’ve said there was nothing wrong with Zelle, but it’s a known fact that’s how a lot of scammers want paid, and here you are saying you were...
You’re a moron.
Sheesh, what a…crap shoot.
Sooo…what happened?
Compare the percentage of shooters with 98%+ averages now, to how many there were 25 years ago- that percentage is higher now, I’ll guarantee it.
What is the goal here? Are the shooters at your club bored with regular trap? There’s a lot of options- have a games night- shoot Annie Oakleys and...
Two problems- 1). How many trap shooters have sub gauge guns? 2). Have you tried to find any .410 ammo lately?
Sorry about that, I didn’t think you had to pay for a gun until you picked it up at the store. I think it’s actually illegal for them to take money...
See as much added money at the shoots any more? Or cars being given away for prizes? Again- you said the suckers took their own money...
That’s a nice looking trap gun!
Read your own post- the “suckers,” as you put it, that were signing up, were what made the ATA for the possibility to win money. Not that they needed...
That’s the point, they aren’t being replaced by new shooters.
In other words you stick your head in the sand and wonder why there are so few people shooting with you compared to years ago?
Sure, people can spend their money on whatever they enjoy, but based on the recent/current numbers- that ain’t trapshooting. It’s a good competitive...
What’s the point for someone that’s never shot trap before to get to the point where they can run 200’s and big handicap scores? There’s no money any...
Do I feel another Grudge Match coming???
I don’t have that information, I wasn’t saying anything positive or negative about the SCTP, just saying that the SCTP would bring the average down.
If you left the SCTP members out, I’d bet the number would be much higher, probably over 65.
Can’t post it on here but there’s a website where you plug in the Winchester Serial Number and it will bring the year up for you. Google it- it’s not...
That’s a big sporting clays shoot and there some other big ones going on the same time (Western Regional and WI state shoot to name 2). The Cardinal...
Actually, Bobby- I was posting my opinion. I said getting rid of those banks won’t boost participation like you seem to believe. You then ask me to...
You’re right- I don’t have a list of people who would not shoot if those preferred banks were removed. For me, it just seems like an unwise business...
I’m not sure if your post was tongue in cheek, but yes, I would shoot there if they did away with banks 1-3, personally I liked 7 and 8 better there....
Get rid of the banks that people want to shoot on? Hmmm…might not boost participation like you might think.
If you were to sell the barrel how much would you want for it?
Arm sticking straight out works for Zach Kienbaum (in sporting clays, anyway)- most of his students develop a similar hold. Personally I don’t...
I think I see more Kolars than Krieghoff’s in the pictures but I didn’t count by brand- just more Kolars in that picture than you see in SW PA, by a...
What do you guys consider inflated prices today? $50 flats of shells are gone and I doubt will ever return again- I think the $75-85 range for promo...
Sounds like an awesome league- wish I was closer and I would be there every Thursday night!
Show me the rebate and I’ll buy as many as I can!
Seems like a lot of Kolars in the pictures!
You keep asking that after people give their opinions- it sounds like no one near you is interested in shooting, and there’s not enough attraction...
I agree that the money leaving the game took away a lot of shooters and a reason to shoot. When you get down to it, trapshooting is the best...
I think if you have tried all the things mentioned in this post…it’s only a matter of time. I wish it wasn’t so- but it’s going to happen to a lot...
That is really nice work!
That’s common, my Ljutic’s generally do OK with the Federal Top Guns but these Super Targets and Rio’s to a lesser degree stick. I’m not sure what...
i thought they had boys and girls trophies, but I could be wrong.
True- but there are ladies trophy eligibility to contend with.
Just curious- what was the Miramar bunker episode?
Good call.
