    Where has Gipson and his fantastic direction speeches gone? The forum was much more entertaining when we could read about his statements to the press. Has the poor guy been muzzled or just given up?

    I for one feel Lynn (The Talking Head ) Gipson was saying things that were scripted for the benefit of all involved be that State of Illinois Officials as well as ATA members that care any more ... The 20/30 millions of dollars generated by the grand in Southern Illinois (Sparta) is not a number that can be reached based strictly on the attendance, even a fool could see or figure that out without going beyond the use of a ones minimal math skills ... The claims being made only make the person making them look like a total whack job, he probably got to the point where he got sick and tired of looking like a fool as the spokesman for the ATA (EC, most of the BOD, and CHC .) ... If a person looks at the numbers it cannot and would not be difficult to see they are grossly out of proportion (15,000 shooters/ campers staying on sight ), that would be 15 people per space being as the WSRC has 1,000 camping spaces, and that's not going to happen ... Then there is the other 15,000 shooters (claimed) in the general area , yet they could not muster 2,000 shooters in any one event at the biggest shoot in the world ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    "Silence is Golden" in many cases or the out come was nothing like expected or the banners would be flying and the " I told you so's" would be posted all over the place ... The ATA has to be having second thoughts after such a Pathetic showing at the last grand ... There is obviously nothing good to say or something would of been said by now those who are supposed to be representatives of the remaining membership ... The ATA can survive on the fees collected by all of the clubs who throw registered targets, the grand is not needed to keep the ATA alive and well, this is supported by the drop in attendance every year for the last 11 plus years since the relocation to Southern Illinois ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    I think I saw him on CNN last night commenting on Hillary's path to the presidency and talking about the fantastic direction the Democrats were headed in. Ezeliel33
