    Well it looks like you CAN use the words SCTP and Sparta in the same sentence after all.

    From the SCTP site:

    Twenty seven (27) Youth Athletes from the Sparta, Georgia Lake Oconee Shotgun Team are here at the Cardinal Shooting Center in Marengo, Ohio with one goal in mind!

    Equal or better that 2018 performance at the SCTP National Championships at the 2019 SCTP National Championships.

    In 2018, Team Oconee was the HOA Team for all three shotgun disciplines, trap, skeet, and sporting clays. In addition, Lake Oconee finished 4th overall in trap.


    If they don't repeat this year at least they will have another ten years to try.

    Edited to show TEN more years, not nine

    Thank you.
    I always enjoyed graphs. Couldn't get enough of them. Nothing like sitting around after a shoot, having a few beers with your friends and whipping out a good graph to discuss. My favorite is the 7-1/2's or 8's. A real classic

    I will edit my post to show it is another TEN years

    Anytime, I'm going to go down to the SCTP shoot on Saturday. A couple of kids I'm going to watch shoot. Luke told me that there are people everywhere. Should be fun.

    Have a good time, drive carefully, and don't scare any of the kids.

    Hey grandpap is that that Dysinger guy sitting over there with those other old guys?
    Well I'll be little Johnny it sure is.
    Wow grandpap, I heard all about him. I even read some of the things he wrote.
    I guess you could have little fella, he was a pretty good shot back in the glory days.
    Won all kind of trophies for shooting Trap. I think he won the Clay Target one year, not sure which one back around 1978 if I remember right. Was a pretty good pigeon shooter too I heard. Never did end up in the same place as him. Probably just as well. They put him in a couple halls of fame too I think.
    Yep, that's him alright. You wanna go over and meet him? You can ask him all about shooting ability and the things he has accomplished.

    Ah grandpap, I don't care at all about that stuff. That's not important to me.

    Then how do you know who that is Johnny?

    When I logged onto AmericanTrapshooter I saw his name and what he said about that one guy and just wanted to tell him I think he was right.

    If that's the way they are going to talk about me I'm staying home tomorrow. To damn hot anyway. I'm right about that too.

    Hot's not the word for it. The power crapped out in my neighborhood around 6:00 so the air conditioner is down. Just perfect!
    The automated message from them said it SHOULD be back on around 9:00
    Like the Zen master said, We'll See

    Word on the street is there were 2051 entries in the 200 Singles event. Up 25 to 30% over last year. The place is jammed. Sparta what?

    2,051 entries shooting ata registered targets with an increase of 25-30% and American Trapshooter is the only place that is talking about it.

    Oh, that's right, those 2,051 shooters are in OHIO.

    Edit: For TEN MORE years

    Last week Mason Michigan had the National High School Championship and they had 1800 kids shooting. So there is a lot of kids shooting trap now

    The Kids are the future of this nation not only the ATA. Lets hope the ATA, and federal government, do not screw the future up. Neither has a very good track record of positive accomplishments. Roger C.
