Terrible loss. Great shooter, great storyteller, and a pretty darn good gin rummy player.
Merlo, while I’m not in Ohio and don’t know for certain, please allow me to speculate. Clubs with volunteer labor seem to be in the $29-32 range per...
Diesel, I have a.750 Kolar combo. I’ve shot it in temperatures as low as -10 F (no wind at that low temperature). No bloopers, the only issue is...

Dick, keep getting better so your friends in Michigan can see you in 2022! Happy New Year.

Don, First, thanks for the kind words. Second, I like the idea of a daily fee at the Grand. I will carry that forward. On your third point, the Zoom...
As near as I could tell, it was because the ATA’s administrative and general expenses were quite large and need to get larger. These expenses include...
Not much. Michigan’s Darryl Hayes elected as President, no bylaw changes, a rule change was proposed and discussed but it’s not worded right so it...
Maybe I was camped next to subjr1, or maybe there was more than one very large mud hole in the camping area. I drove my golf cart to Legacy...

Rumors are often fun and at least partially accurate. Fact: in 2019 Michigan hired a club Manager. Fact: Managers do get paid. Fact: in 2020 the...
Brad, I can’t answer your question except to state that I was the State President before him and had complete access to all the financial data.
The financial statements including balance sheets and P&Ls are expected to be available to all at next week’s MTA annual meeting.
In Merlo’s excellent post, a letter from C.Callahan states that social distancing and masking need to be addressed. There is no mandate there, other...
Thursday, for the singles, about 39 degrees driving rain. As most were too smart to shoot, about 35 shooters. For ‘caps, 41 degrees, drizzle/rain...
Thanks Brad, it’s going well. We have had a surprising number of the letters returned as not deliverable. So far over $16,000 in almost all $40 to...
Listen to your eye surgeon! Tell him you shoot and find out how long he wants you to not shoot. It seems to be about 2 weeks. I couldn’t believe the...

Elsie, the best information available at this time is that the outdoor assembly limit in Ingram County is 1000 people or 25% of capacity whichever is...
The letter from the MTA says $80,000. I believe that is about what they didn’t make last year.
It’s still possible that something bad will happen at Mason. Right now, the outdoor assembly limit is 1000 people or 25% capacity, whichever is...
About 50 years ago I had a conversation with my great uncle that went like this: Uncle “ This country has a terrible problem with Crats.” Me “Crats?...
