    Poll is bs. It says you get 4 votes. I was only allowed 1 vote for gah has 4000 people. Skewed results.

    Sidney, you went and did it again. IF you want to vote that the GAH EVENT, the BIG day AS IT USED TO BE CALLED WHEN IT WAS IN VANDALIA OHIO, will have 4000 shooters you must be willing to put a wager on it right?

    You can put up $100.00 that there will be 4,000 people shooting on that ONE DAY, the GAH event, and I'll put up $5,000.00 that they won't get that many. Win that bet I want to make with you about the 4,000 people shooting the GAH EVENT and you could donate the entire 5K to the HOF.

    Hell they might even put you in there for that much.

    Oh and sid? If you can't figure it out for yourself 4,000 is almost 50% more than that dumbazz 17% you posted earlier. Never did hear back from you on that one zippy.

    You didn't have the nerve to make that bet so I'm 100% sure you aren't going to take this one but I like making you look foolish in front of all your pals so please don't stay away so long.

    Edit: If anyone is waiting for Sidney to make that bet PLEASE, do not hold your breath. If fact, don't bother to even look for his reply. I just haven't figured out which one he is, original recipe or crispy?

    There can't be any "TOP" headline. You need a significant event or person to really have a TOP HEADLINE.

    That place in Illnews and the little shoot they have there is neither.

    That would be like saying the TOP HEADLINE from the local little league tournament was that the kids decided to drink Grape Kool-Aid instead of Cherry. WOW!

    4000?...…...Never happen

    Mr. Morgan?...….He will probably go back but won't stay in the same place. HOF for him? Not unless he donates a HUGE amount of money. You can get in that way now.

    Gipson and another house?...….. AKA, Getsome Reality, He isn't stupid enough to try it twice. Then again, he could say his wife found it.

    GAH has lowest?...…Don't think so, that place has had some stinking numbers before so I don't think they can get lower than that.

    Gov visits?...….Somebody will have to explain to him where it is. To him the WSRC is just a bunch of RED numbers on a report. You probably have a better chance of seeing the other governor Blago there.

    Last year?...….NO FRIGGIN WAY they will let it end. There aren't enough chickens on the planet to lay the amount of egg they would have to wipe off there faces. The state might tell them it is the last year but the boys running the circus can't call it quits. They will pay whatever the state demands of them to keep it there. I hope it cost guys like sidney a fortune to shoot there.

    N1H1 into the HOF.........Wouldn't surprise me one bit. I almost expect it. After all, they gave him a gun as a going away gift and that wasn't cheap. Putting his picture in the "hof" wouldn't cost them anything except the price of the frame and they can get that at the local Walmart down the street.

    PA delegate roll call?...….Nope

    Ole' MIss asking to get closer...…..Been there done that. Fool me once,

    Former member crashes party?...….Frank Rively already tried that.

    My choice isn't on there. My hope is that the ata tells all the members that want to make the trip to that place that it will cost them $500.00 MORE it they want to keep the "grand", I can't help but laugh every time I type that word, at that place in Illnews.

    It doesn't surprise me that you would think that sidney. EVERYTHING about that place and that small shoot they have in Illnews is BS so naturally you would assume anything to do with it would be also.

    You can vote for 4 DIFFERENT choices. Voting for the SAME choice 4 times would be, well, like the ata counting members.

    7 of those are not unrealistic. Minus the 4,000 , Miss delegate and governor visit, the rest are possibles.

    If you don’t go you will have to read about it. See you there.

    Oh Boy! got another one. Sure hope they tell all their friends.

    Hey two? Since you are new to Trap shooting you might not realize it yet but that shoot you are talking about?

    Pretty much a bust.

    There are HUNDREDS of people that USED TO GO TO THE GRAND WHEN IT WAS IN VANDALIA OHIO that only "read about it" now.

    There are THOUSANDS that used to go that probably don't bother doing even that.

    I see you don't have an avatar yet. You can use this one if you want.

    Yep, wait for me.

    You know, that number you chose is very appropriate for that place.
    Just yesterday my youngest grandchild was asked by her mother what she did when she came out of the bathroom.

    Hmmm according to that poll someone is crashing the BOD meeting. Also I hope they took a picture of Morgan before the bedbug attack last year. Those critters leave scars.

    My guess is sparta sid and spartatwo haven't been shooting trap long enough to know what the Grand was like in Vandalia. It also sounds like there raising prices on some goods in Sparta this year. For Example Shot prices seem Higher at Sparta than any other large shoot I have attended this year. I wonder why that is?

    What do you want help with #2?

    You need help trying to get more people to go to that place in Illnews?

    You need help with paying for a building OWNED BY THE STATE?

    You need help breaking better scores to get off the 20 yard line or out of class B?

    You need help getting out of sparta, Illnews?

    Help changing your sign on name to something that doesn't sound like a bodily function?

    Just what is it that you need help with? No offense but this site was created to help the uneducated and ignorant like you. I will be glad to help in any way I can.

    "Sparta rocks"

    Sparta is ON the rocks

    There ya go, I helped you already by fixing that

    Now that one right there DOES belong in the Joke Of The Day category.

    Most Presigious? What hell is that? If you are trying to say Most Prestigious it is appropriate that you spelled it
    incorrectly. It fits with that place in Illnews since that place is all wrong too.

    I don't know about the rest of the people that don't go there any longer, ALL 2000 of them, but what kills me is the fact that a once great shoot has morphed into something that most ata members don't even care about anymore.

    I suppose for the new guys like #2 or you Sid:eek:ney it is a big deal. How great to have that place in your back yard huh?

    Enjoy it while you can.

    BTW, still betting on 4000 for the big day? That little gem could be in the Joke Of The Day column along with your Most Presigious.

    SO, the guy decided to actually post over here?

    Now THAT is some funny s%#t right there.

    Did anyone tell this guy he doesn't need 50 post to sell something on THIS site. Even though it really wasn't a "post" just a two word reply about something in the For Sale section.

    You try that on some other site and the first thing one of their wannabee forum police tell the poor guy is that THEY think he only complimented someone's gun for sale was so they could get to their MAGIC NUMBER 50 and sell something themselves.

    Dumb rule to begin with. Need proof? Check out the ever expanding membership here for that very reason.

    I just hope he doesn't get rolled in with all us malcontents, has-been's, ata BASHERS, sparta (his home town) haters, and any other vile name his pals can think of for us.

    Probably won't since he AGREES with all those things.
