After Brads input on the target setting for the Buckeye the targets were much better at the State Shoot this year than they had been the past several...
John I agree. I don't understand why anyone who voted for him or supports democrats would be two faced enough to show their face at a trapshoot as...
butterly since you mentioned trinkets for trophies I looked at the 1964 grand program and looked at the clay target championship trophy list and the...
As a young man with no prior tournament director experience in my opinion he did a pretty good job seeing over some rather large trapshoots. So now...
I first remember meeting Daro at I believe the 1965 Ohio State Shoot. He was a member of the Air Force shooting team and Daro and I had the only 2...
A question for Trap 3. Do you or anyone else know if there was a printed program for the 1943-44-45 Grand American. Maybe HB would even have an...
I am just wondering if any Ohio shooter ever attained their grand slam by getting a 200 at the Ohio zone shoot for their last leg? Years ago at many...
Jeff maybe it's no big deal or maybe it's a very big deal? Maybe available money is no big deal to you, but it is to many participants of our...
I believe that at least some one else also made a combo trigger for the model 12 that you could change to either release or pull by moving the safety...
As I understand it target prices are going up $3.00 per hundred for the Ohio State Shoot and have been hearing that daily fees are also going to take...

Just got to say hi and welcome you to the site. Now we just have to get Ben on board. Always good to get another HOF inductee on this forum. Dave...
Just be careful and put the dense part of your pattern on the target and not the hole part and you should get good results. I think that what we need...
I agree with the decision for 100 singles at the state zone for several reasons, but I disagree with doing away with all 200 target singles programs....
Don shame on you! Don't you know that those model 12's are just like the mailman they deliver in wind- snow- rain- heat - cold no matter the weather...
The NCAA having 3 all American teams is quite different when comparing them to our ATA all American teams when you figure in the number of college...
Jr. gold and sub vet has added a substantial number. Now there are less than 50% of shooters than there were in years past and there are 3 times as...
I believe what this means is that many-many shooters with average ability and the time and the financial funds to attend the Prelim& Grand American...
I don't know when they stopped, but in the early 60's the 12ga 3" magnums were still sold in the 2 piece box like pictured above. Dave Berlet
I know that it was always a thrill to me to see my name on the big board during the Vandalia Grands. Dave Berlet
Maybe History Buff can clarify this for me. Sometime not long after I started shooting an old timer explained to me that the reason our sport is...
I really didn't think that he thought of that all by himself. Brad better hope that the ec doesn't see that or they will get him for plagiarizing....
Over the years the shoot has been held in almost all kinds of weather. Unless there is a major catastrophe the shoot will go on. The sausage has been...

Brad how could you do this to me I'm now in a state of depression. I really believe that I could have revived material from the ancient past to get a...
Well if you really want to know it was back in prehistoric times at the Mich. State shoot before there was a failure to fire rule and I was shooting...
Flyers, back many years ago when the Brass Banana was awarded for some kind of a screw up I was one of the first winners. It was just one of the many...
Brad, a thought just crossed my mind. Maybe you could rejuvenate the Brass Banana award and give it to the statistician of the year. I am sure that...
Beat too death! I believe Roger and Ollie are just getting warmed up and after they get done playing Santa Claus they will get back into this thread...
What I'm wondering is it acceptable for other ATA shooters to go back over the years and count our 200 straights that were broken in 300 - 500 - or...
History Buff I never saw it in print, but I was always with the understanding that an individual needed to be a 25 year ATA member or be deceased to...
I believe the KEY word in the above post is( might ).
Flyersarebest, you do have an impressive way with words, but I think you may have typed too fast for some of the folks on here. Dave Berlet
I guess its kind of like the old saying(after alls been said and done a lot more has been said than done). After all the words that have been printed...
Correction, On my last post I should have said 1954 for Mr. Huber's presidency. Dave Berlet
