Guess you never used the service. It is first come first choice. Couple squads (not banks) are sometimes held by management, but most time you get...
Roger - I am in full agreement that much better can be done by the ATA EC. I got banned from the banning site for speaking out against the EC....
Oleollie, I heard the guy from PA went to Kentucky for training. Any truth to this "rumor" :)
Why don't they do the pre-squadding on Presquad.com?? Everyone has an equal shot there.
My trap club has a sporting clays course and much more shooters shoot it than trap. Some of the guys shoot trap and they are quick to point out that...
$186k is not a huge amount if there are no benefits like pension or bonus added. Heck, I make more than that with my benefits included. However,...
And here is the 27 yarders score distribution. Note those who love to be on the backfence occupying space. [ATTACH]
Here is another set of data showing the distribution of all shooters by yardage. I didn't show those who paid but did not shoot so the total here is...
Given that all the "professional" trapshooters and the best long yardage shooters would most likely shoot the Grand America Handicap I decided to...
So, why? Just asking.
Is there a lot of money in Sporting Clays? Lots of people shoot it at my club and it seems like they are okay to shoot terrible scores there. Some...
I have been shooting for about 10 years and I have not noticed any large decline at NY major shoots. The ATA has net assets of over $14 million....
Did anyone ever prove that attendance dropped because of easier targets? I know many people who do not shoot doubles because it is "too difficult"...
We use a magnetic block heater that sticks right onto the oil reservoir. We leave it on because it uses very little current.
It has to be done from the 27 to count as a GS.
I attached the PDF for anyone interested. I compiled it for my own interest so you might not like the way the information is presented.
I think the Grand American GS only applies to those shooters that completed all three legs at the Grand. Of the 477 shooters with GS as of February...
Brad, The HOF database I got the information from has the date in the table. However, I looked at a hardcopy of a T&F and it indicates the date that...
Was there any discussion on why it is reasonable to give punches for scores below 96? I shot many 95s at big shoots and got no punch, but got...
It is difficult to capture cheating in the statistics. I just tried to capture what the rules mandated in the year the GS was first achieved. I am...

With the latest information provided by HB here is the Grand Slam by State through February 2017: [ATTACH]
Thank you HB!
Interesting to tie handicap yardages to singles average. Maybe not a bad idea once you allow for punches based on performance so a C class shooter,...
Here are the shooters who achieved the Grand Slam at the Grand by STATE: [ATTACH]
Here are the shooters who achieved the Grand Slam at the Grand by Year: [ATTACH]
Is that correct that Sean Hawley lived in California in 1992 when he completed his first GS?
What a load of crap! A "safety" violation should have been fully investigated regardless if Dave didn't respond. The complainants should have fully...
Note that the last column to the right has the year when shooters achieved their Grand Slam at the Grand. Any of this achieved after 1996 was shot...
I haven't subscribed to T&F for a while, but you would think the ATA website should have the most up to date information. They don't have anything...
Number of Grand Slams shot under the different target angles and period: [ATTACH]
This is Grand Slam by State: [ATTACH]
I compiled a list of Grand Slam Achievers from data I got from the HOF website. I have only seen data through October 2013. If you know where more...
I just wanted to create a file of the GAH winners and other relevant info around the GAH that is of interest to me.
Here are the 27 yards winners: [ATTACH]
Based on the information provided by HB, I compiled the data below of the GAH winners taken from the HOF website (I added 2016 and 2017). I...
Interesting! Thank you HB.
Thanks. I am relatively new to trapshooting so I might not be making sense, but I understand that there was a big increase in the number of Grand...
When it was officially changed, Roger. Sorry for my limited knowledge on these things.
Thanks. The second question was related to 3 to 2 hole setting. I would also like to know when other changes were made in the handicap yardages 23...
Appreciate if anyone can post the years when the handicap yardages were changed since 1900. I understand the 27 yard was introduced sometime in the...
The definition of handicap you posted mentioned "equal chance" so in these 13 events six 27 yarders and 9 non-27 yarders got the top score. Doesn't...
Dave is a trapshooting instructor. It is important for his "business" to be able to put on his resume how many times he has been on the AA FIRST...
So if there are 99% of new shooters on 20 yds line and 1% on the 27 yds line the handicap system should be set up so that there is a 99% chance that...
Here are the yardages and scores of the shooters for the Handicap Championship for the main tournaments shot in 2017. If you want to play the big...
I guess you cannot see properly I know very well that no SINGLE "under-handicapped" dominate the winning of championships events. I know Harlan or...
What's your point? What is there to rebutt?
Until all handicap championships are totally dominated by 27 yarders I say leave it alone. I am not on the 27 as yet, but no one there scares me....
