    Let's see how transparent the ATA is with the membership, what were the key points of the meeting.
    And what were the results?

    In other words in simple English, " What was accmplished"?

    Ha ha ha,

    As I was told to me in the past.......

    "The regular membership will be told on a need to know basis".

    If anyone can get Trap wife to respond , she probably has all of the inside information even though she does not show up as a member of the ATA ... She did say one time, its not who you know but who you are that really matters so based on that she would probably know ... The ATA is about as transparent as a sheet of lead 3 inches thick, on a need to know basis might get them in more trouble than they bargained for at some time in the future ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    Maybe in Ohio that's plain English, not so much everywhere else.

    I doubt Trapwife was invited, and she would not make the drive to Illinois.

    I agree with Dr Longshot. And if she does know so what.

    Just another innuendo remark that he can claim innocence on if called out.

    Well Greta, if you are really interested in who is on the ATA EC, you could go to: shootata.com - and hit the contact link. They are all there. Not really a very guarded secret by any means, unless you are too lazy to look.

    I have never been lazy or considered to be lazy by anyone.
    Please remember I am not computer literate. I would not have
    Asked this question if I was, I should have asked this question to
    a smart, polite, intelligent person, sorry to have inconvenienced
    anyone.

    Greta,
    You did not inconvenience anyone. That is why we have a forum. Asking questions and giving answers was previously taboo and considered bashing. On another site we would have been reported to a mod and removed.

    FG, is the BOD just all the delegates? Is that how it works?

    Yes.........And you will see that if you put all the shooters together that shot in the state shoots represented by the EC you could not put together a large handicap event.

    I followed the directions and now I know what I wanted to know. I have
    Known several of the e.c. Members for many years and will
    Ask them directly any information I am interested in.
    Again thank you.

    Greta,
    If you are not on the "Need to Know " list you will probably not get much information which is pretty much how its been for the past several years ... People talked about how secret the Masons are they are nothing compared to the EC, ED, and some of the BOD ...They know where you are if and when they want donations or money to pay off things for the State (EX: HOF building) of Confusion (Illinois) ... The only dumb questions are the ones that do not get asked if you do not know ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    The results of the Winter Meeting should now be posted on the ATA Website, for all to see, who did what, who 2nded, and what the results were in all conversations.

    Simple question deserves a simple answer.

    Rude question, deserves a rude answer.

    Gee, Family Guy, who appointed you as the etiquette cop. Someone who has made as many rude, belligerent, intimidating, snide, obtuse, and overall boorish remarks as you have on this forum, is certainly in a position to recognize a rude answer. I therefore, apologize to Greta, and thank you for apologizing on my behalf. I will return the favour, to you Family Guy, and apologize on your behalf, when I see one of your patented replies, that I feel is abusive or lacks any social graces, in the future.

    father was a Mason for 60 years and I never talked with him about it

    Except what to do about his apron after death, but I never considered

    Trapshooting in the Masonic category. Sorry.

    Ms. C, all the information you're seeking is publicly available, it's how you interpret it that makes the difference.

    As you said, you've known the people you are seeking for years, so you can believe them or anyone else, that's in your estimation, not anyone else'.

    I don't see why the EC couldn't give a little information to the masses.

    Thanks for apologizing. You saved me the trouble of telling you to do it.

    I agree, we are entitled to be informed.
    I asked questions years ago and got no information.
    That 's why I resented the good old boys network.
    I saw many wrong acts, and have never shut my big mouth reminding
    Some people about what infuriated me.
    I heard someone talk about raising shooting prices. I answered that
    It is hard to get three (3) people to shoot a big 50 .
    The only shoots that are healthy are the big point shoots.
    All it seems is needed are $$$$$$$. I worked hard all my life and



    It was hard to go far and wide. I read Trap & field (every line 10' times)
    Yes I agree





    And it seems easy for so many of working age to be all over the USA all year.
    Lucky people!
    Practice shooting has increased, many just do not want to pay the fees from ATA and States.

    I got a question for you duff.

    HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE TO DISLIKE SOMEONE TO SEE A SIMPLE TYPO IN THEIR POST AND TRY TO BELITTLE THEM BY POINTING IT OUT?

    I haven't had to do the internet "mines bigger than yours" routine since I quit posting on that old, worn out, tired a$$, the ata is all knowing, sparta is the best place in the world, site.

    I miss it. It was always fun making the Kool Aid drinkers go off the deep end. If you ever get bored with trying to be cute picking out typos why don't you take a swipe or two at me. It will be fun, I promise.

    And I don't live in Ohio.

    Huh? I don't dislike anyone.

    I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS IRONICALLY FUNNY.

    If you don't, well there you go.

    And here I thought you were trying to make the good Dr. look foolish. The good Dr. will, I'm pretty sure, since I don't have to speak for him, be glad to hear you are fan of his.

    I didn't think there was anything funny about a typo. What I did get a chuckle over was your inclusion of Ohio in your reply.

    Maybe if you didn't think badly of everyone else, you'd see what was funny about Gary's post, but you won't.

    I know nothing, but what my own feelings are..

    I do not and will not ask questions. First of all, I would not.get honest

    Answers. I just look and listen, but I do have strong opinions about

    Many items.

    Gee
    One might think the EC cared about the shooters enough to keep us in the loop.
