All the targets my squad and I shot at Tucson during the Autumn Grand were legal ATA targets, period. How do I know? Because, they could have been 44...
I don't mind your postings at all, it's your interpretations of others posts, mine included, I have a problem with while telling me what I stand for....
That's the main reason I've posted my concerns about our sport of doubles shooting all this time. Neither high nor falling targets is attractive for...
Great suggestions above by all but the proof in the pudding is you looking through all different colors to find which colors are best suited for your...
Gary B., where in the heck do you get some of your wild azzed ideas from? Just because I don't happen to agree with all of your ideas on how to...
Is it possible, due to less rotational spin on doubles targets brought on by less speed, these targets may not be stabilizing as quickly as a result?...
Agreed, one wouldn't think any club would be so (minimum minded) to use it all the time. Romie; 39 mph is the minimum and the max is 40 at...
Gary, as I've done almost since beginning my ATA shooting, I look for a true straight away! Years back, when 44 degree angles was the norm, I looked...
Neil, this minimum number is now used for setting doubles at Tucson. Asking for an increase of speed falls on deaf ears! Roger Coveleski and I asked...
With enough speed and angle, even our singles targets could become daunting adversaries to capture them all without being an impossible task!...
John Brindle's statement leaves me wondering how he came to such a conclusion for a faster rotation on a clay target? How he attained the extra RPMs...
You can find that information in another window on that same site. Gives shooters class, yardage and scores. I don't know much about the other...
Because there weren't any wider angles, I shot them along with everyone else. There may have been spacers missing yet the targets were still set at...
Thanks for the pics FG! I saw some pictures of Sims ProSoft trailer in a lot of mud getting out to the road. lotsa rain in the east lately! HAP
No thoughts on post number 8 above? HAP
Lew, the moderator did it after someone else used N1H1's name in a post. The N1H1 is his new handle. HAP
http://shootscoreboard.com/ Click on the past shoots, scroll down to the Autumn Grand and all the scores are there from the Autumn Grand 2014....
There could be many beneficial "fixes" that would help our game of handicap enormously! In order for that to happen, one small change almost always...
I've never believed a (really good shot) shooter reads the piece broken from a clay as an absolute indicator of where the shot charge went. He just...
N1H1, Neil, human error is totally dismissed in your thought process for proving your point. I must agree with you on the differences between higher...
Jim, you asked and I opined with my personal opinion on how I'd perceive our game quality wise if adopted. Any suggestion toward any more difficulty...
Wishbone, have you actually noticed how many shooters/posters are tickled pink with todays targets? Think it's human nature to want easy is better...
Gerald/Rick in Ohio, is Madison Lake GC located near the Deer Creek state hunting area? Thanks. HAP
Kenny, please post Vic's articles for all of us again? Very interesting reads! Wishbone, did you read all of the article Kenny posted above? How...
Jim Porter, how boring would life be if everyone agreed on everything? I sure hope you've read the entire T&F article Kenny posted above! I...
It's only human nature to take the easy road out of any situation and the rule today reflects that choice in a precise manner. Not everyone wants a...
Scott, it was possible targets could be thrown a little beyond those parameters and still be a legal target, ( that must be shot as a legal angle.)...
Iowa guy, there's been some that have cheated in one way or other since day one of trap's beginnings. Hardly nothing new there at all? Adopting a...
The real estate and dot-com years were huge money makers also and our sports growth rate was stymied then in addition? Sporting clays were just...
You're more FOS than a stuffed turkey. HAP
Our delegate was talked into the running for this job but I seriously doubt he would be for a tougher target, I may be all wrong. I haven't talked...
When club operators become aware of any less than ideal traps, drawing for bank traps should be mandatory on the mornings event. Here in Tucson, I...
Two years prior at the Cardinal, we had a full squad to shoot a doubles event. We couldn't sign up as a full squad because they didn't want to open...
Gary B., are you forgetting that most clubs during the cheating era (80 to 96) did in fact throw the target settings you keep mentioning? Straights...
Long term, the wind blown missed target may wind up two traps down the line in a west toeast hard wind! FG, the only way to know exactly how winds...
Brian, your own personal timing to the moving target is what it is. Some people are naturally quicker, some may be even slower. Any attempt at...
Even though it's only 9 feet back, to think any shooter can average the same thing from there as from the 27 day in and out is foolish. Andy's...
Thanks FG!! Wish I was there also!! HAP
I've never been much of a fan of government run gun clubs, anywhere. I began my ATA registered shooting at an Air Force GC, EAFB, in Edwards, CA. How...
Evidently so Kenny. It certainly didn't take a few Delegates very long to pick up that decision and run it through with their vote to give it...
Prior to the vote accepting nothing less than a 34 degree angle, I thought it was added prior for settings to be used on inclement days where winds...
The main drawing card ATA had during it's highest growth years was in fact a tougher set target. straights from posts 1 and 5 with a little more...
Kenny, I've never doubted ATA shooters would shy away from tougher target formats until we were convinced easy was better and the rule was changed....
My stand? Or a rant similar to yours demanding wholesale changes overnight? That just ain't gonna happen regardless of how much you or anyone else...
It wasn't the state shoot, it was his SW zone shoot. He won a handicap event and placed in a higher singles class too! HAP
Congratulations Ken, well done! HAP
Ken Cerney, good job at your state shoot guy!! Congratulations! HAP
Even prior to the official rule change in 96, we should have had an increase in yardage around the late 70s or early 80s! Why? Because of the number...
Neil GB, is this the test you thought Neil W. wanted? If so, it doesn't resemble the one you pose above. As for reading HB's writings and...
It was known and spoken of in the 70s that we'd eventually have to move from Vandalia because of area growth. The real question then becomes; why...
