    So I see in the 2025 OSTA Program that we have to have registered so many targets already to attend the yearly OSTA ATA meeting. Regardless of lifetime membership? Yep....pretty much said that!

    So I ask others at the shoot. Answer: Family Guy asked a few sensitive questions to the Ohio Delegate. .

    So someone tell me what questions could enrage the OSTA to muck this up? Gotta be good questions! Got popcorn?

    Jim....
    I asked the Delegate a question about ATA Executive Director Gipson's contract. I was miffed about all his bonuses that reportedly put him well over $200k.

    The question.... what is in that contract that is in the best interest of Ohio Shooters?

    I was shouted down and had to show my receipt as member of the ATA.

    A few years earlier OSTA President Miller said the Delegate doesn't have to answer questions.

    That can't be right can it? You mean that since I haven't shot ATA in the calender year I can't attend the meeting even though I've been an ATA life member since 1975, in the OSTA HOF sonce 1997, the ATA HOF since 2000, a past board member of the OSTA for seven years, a past OSTA president, and the TD for 6 years at the OSTA and the CC I wouldn't be allowed in. Never mind that I have registered about 400,000 targets give or take a few I can't attend the meeting. What are these current Board members afraid of?

    If I wanted to attend I don't think anyone on there would have the balls to keep me out. These are a sad bunch, I don't respect trap shooters today.

    Brad, why should this surprise you. It was just another case of dislike and jealousy. They didn't remove Randy Wilhelm from the HOF they just took his picture down and removed his name from the state shoot program. Then they added a completely stupid paragraph to the by laws that any member who didn't live like a SAINT after induction could be removed if the HOF policeman didn't like them. Until things get back to following rules and procedure of operation we shouldn't be surprised about anything. Maybe they are just following the democrats play book at least they seem to act like it.
