I am laughing at all this. To start with, only the Board of Directors has the power to change the rules and that is with the help of the rules...
MOE....I have never shot at KY. Is the background the same on all banks? Do you get to choose your bank? Does the shoot go faster?
What would Neil do? Anyone remember Neil Winston? Neil was a bit different than much of society. But he was a big part of the move to Sparta. I...
Sparta was not the only deal. There were 3 other places in Ohio, including the land they owned. There was a place in TX and Indiana. Sparta has...
Smokey..... Did you and your handler get that? The Illinois shoot isnt the biggest. The SCTP National Championship is larger. They were...
Gee Smokey...I'll answer. The ATA was not kicked out of Vandalia. But the corrupt leaders should have been. For decades the ATA still owned the...
I would like to have a chat with my late rival Neil Winston. Why the dumbass election and notification process with the delegates? As I hear now...
No Gary it doesn’t state they own buildings. You were trying to prove something. Fail?
Bump please. Current topic.
For some reason as noted by the OP the BOD didn’t vote on this lease. Why not? It isn’t even discussed in the minutes. As per the “free guns”...
Earth to Gary…. Whar are you talking about? Get your facts straight. The lease was voted on in August! It was voted on by the EC. SMH Below...
Do you remember when the EC was giving themselves free guns without the approval from the BOD? The AG from Illinois stepped in and said not so fast....
I certainly can’t talk about what you are aware of…. I can’t tell you what the BOD told the EC. But, I will bet you $20 the BOD doesn’t know they...
That’s right….unless specifically denied by the BOD! The BOD are the final say. They tell the EC what they can or cannot do. I will spin it...
Earth to Gary…. The BOD has the ultimate say in anything! The EC only has duties that are permitted by the BOD. The EC has day to day...
What if you have a trap with crazy difficult background? You aren’t just shooting 25 there now! You are at a bigger disadvantage. So if 50 a...
Merlo’s statement was to the fact that both the EC and BOD both met together and the EC met separately the same week. The EC works / serves the...
Gee Gary W……. It’s disappointing you didn’t mention the person’s name. [ATTACH] You are wrong! Or that person is wrong. And the horse barn is...
Several years ago that rag doubled the number of shooters at the grand. It was this forum that caught them. They were forced to print a...
My rival Neil would have laughed at that. The Board of Directors doesn’t have to consult the Executive Committee for anything! Read the by laws.
Is there a single Delegate that understands that this is or was their decision to make? I am betting there isn’t a single delegate with the...
Get your popcorn. The minutes are are going to get even more curious now.
I believe the OSTA minutes will be changed soon since someone got caught in a lie. I have a screenshot. This should be good. Get your popcorn!
Wow Blair got caught in a lie here. The contact was already approved. The OSTA minutes seems to confirm Blair lie. Hey OSTA this guy needs to...
Interesting Michigan Berry The Delegate From Ohio (Blair) was quoted by Family Guy at the OSTA Meeting as saying Gipson’s contract was being...
You can be sure Neil Winston would have been involved. Ohio Delegate, Blair, reminds me more of one of his predecessors, Tom Acklin. I detested...
…..and why would you donate to HOF like that?
OSTA seems to think they changed the bylaws when no one was looking. It doesn’t work that way. You don’t need an assistant AG poking around....
Who expected the Delegate from PA to recommend punishment for PSSA shoot management? What was the role of the delegate during shoot offs? Why did...
The author says the lease will be extended regardless of who owns it? Laughable. New owner will say that lease is gone. As it is both parties...
I hear it was merlo that spoke with an investigator by name of Pasquale (spelling) that forced the ATA to change the bylaws due to the illegal free...
Cali….you mentioned a few folks hate Illinois. That has nothing to do with the question does it? And then you mention good business sense. LOL...
Earth to Berry…..the OP quoted the minutes. That is what is there. Who is misunderstanding? Are you implying you understand what is written?...
The OP copied and pasted the minutes. Are you saying something is missing. What did the ATA leave out? If we assume there was a gain then...
So the ATA only had 700,000 net assets to start 2021? Despite being worth $21 million? Hmmmm.
If you are using a radar gun and you want a consistent 50+ yard target, you will need to throw it 44.5+ mph. That is why the stakes aren’t used....
Really Charles Baker….? So Charles, looking back at the old minutes, please tell us why the old minutes say Amateur Trapshooting Association of...
That wouldn’t be so bad if a 50 paid $5,000 or a 49 paid $2,000. Since the handicap system doesn’t work that is lots of money. But, the...
That’s the old org. That’s the one that had voting rights for life members. Third A for America
I believe Federal Law requires 501c3 assets be given to charities in line with their mission statement. Also, the org the current ATA replaced was...
Voting rights The voting rights were removed when the previous organization was dissolved. This was all done in order to make the move to Sparta...
There was that guy Earl Scripture that got tossed to the wolves for selling easy targets.
A good read. Back when Neil was amongst us. Sometimes I miss picking on him.
Just a note about the so called year of the three hole….not everyone was throwing three hole targets. Five years earlier not everyone was throwing...
Mexico will now have as much voting power as the State of Ohio or PA. Considering the corruption in Mexico the ATA could be a good fit.
Why not? We have a rules committee. Is the ATA above making trapshooting competitions fair? Imagine what that would do to the ATA reputation?...
I thought PA might change some things when Skip moved to Missouri. Not so.
Back in the day PA was so concerned about making the game fair and honest they walked 10 traps. I think that was pre-Fetterman.
If the bottom line is making a profit and loyalty to the corporation then the kids are a bad investment. Sounds like a view Neil would have had....
