The answer is: depends. Depends on the wind on a given day. Depends on the weight of the wad. Depends on how far shot cups open, which can sometimes...
Winchester paper super targets 2 3/4-1 1/8-7 1/2 from the late 60’s through 70’s.
Looks like it might be one of those contraptions that allows you to use your opposite eye to sight your gun, I believe they were marketed as a “Side...
Ah, the ultimate Liberal/Woke wet dream: The ability to rewrite history.
I always thought targets at the grand in Ohio were better than what I normally shot. Always shot better scores there for whatever reason. I believe...
I’m scratching my head a bit trying to come up with something different. Any Scout troops in the area? You could offer the opportunity for earning...
Clubs can consider Big 50 programs, which are what you are talking about except for singles. That way fees (in most areas) are reduced as well....
Yep. Just always have. Load them into full cases(500) also for storage and transport. Used to have a chief boxer and shell counter, but darn it he...
Quite a few strange things happened to promotions and potential sponsors around that time. My understanding of Budweiser’s exit is as Brad says. I...
Shades of “Bust ‘em”
Trap loader has to set both targets. You remove the carousel, put the trap in the center hole(you don’t need to run the angling motor)crank the...
Maybe a corporation could be created, say call it “Voice Call LLC” which could purchase it and then resell it to the ATA, all to benefit the...
I agree not everyone is perfect, most far from it. But, we’ve got to have limits to what we tolerate. Certain things are beyond our standards of...
I was told probably 55 years ago that it would. Seems to me to be not a smart thing to try. If you compare the two assemblies it appears to me...
Winter Haven to the south, Eustis to the north, Bithlo to the east. Also volusia (Daytona) to the far north east. Winter Haven probably closest to...
The property is now a park with ball fields and other playground stuff. You can google maps 10955 Smith-Bennett Road, Orlando, FL for a view. The...
As you likely already know, the ATA’s philosophy has become “The easier the better” over time since the late 70’s. Seems the powers that be, and...
The only way the state can make money on the place is to find a patsy to buy it and get it back on the tax roll. Wonder who’d be stupid enough to be...
A liberal judge could interpret that all semi-autos have a speed increasing device when in use. It’s called a trigger finger.
Since it was during the state shoot and the state shoot awards ATA furnished trophies, the ATA rules are supposed to supersede any local rules or...
I hate to judge someone I don’t know, but as a retired educator with 39 years experience this type of situation makes me very angry. I would assume...
Wonder who will be “elected” delegate at the Mexico State shoot this year. Want to bet one has already been “selected”? Actually how can a country...
How can any of us attend a shoot in Mexico when you can’t transport a firearm across the border? (W/o a permit from their national defense minister)...
Started in 1966 as a 12 year old. Never received discounted targets or shells. I would spend the afternoon in the trap house setting targets and...
Yesterday (Thurs, 10/20) in South-Central Florida.
One overlooked beneficial effect of the youth programs is that while we may not get a large percentage of life long trapshooters it is highly likely...
Not to hijack or provide unrelated information, but back in the mid 70’s I had a neighbor who had several handsome turkeys. We had just moved in and...
If it were me, and I am really grateful it is not, I would have tried to lease a trailer and tractor. Loaded up the traps and finished out the load...
Mr. Hunsaker captures many of my feelings. The anticipation and adrenaline would kick in when I turned onto National Road, and by the time I got out...
Now that we’ve come to the target year end, I want to thank Family Guy for his photo coverage of shoots this past year and before. Many of us are...
We need more laws but there is no need to enforce the laws we have. Smart politicians used to write loop holes into the laws they put forward, now...
If above deals fall through, I’ll take it and bring it home to Florida.
Never bet against a moderator.
The DL105 is a relatively inexpensive press, I would think that a new machine would be a better choice. However I don’t believe that press was ever...
Get my copy Thursday, read it yesterday afternoon. Very well written and enjoyable. Brought back memories of the way things used to be and Steve...
I believe Biden said he has never taken a dime from a foreign country. Probably true... the countries gave the money to Hunter’s “corporations” and...
Hopefully it will only be 3 out of nine after next week!
Brad is of course spot on. I will add that for myself learning to shoot doubles required quite a bit of repetition, When I really learned to shoot...
Bet the bottom row on that pallet are going to be frustrating.
It may depend on the state association, many must “approve” or certify trap fields. I believe some state associations may require two fields, but...
Loved shooting there. Always got the best target setting and it was legal. Shot Paul’s Post Grand shoot several times. Good targets, good food,...
Is this the same Russ Elliott that shot at Allegheny Rifle with Tony Olivito in the late 70's early 80's. If so, he was really a good guy to be...
I can't see why not. That being said if it somehow were to be a distraction to other shooters then the disrupting of the harmony of the shoot might...
Say what you want, but the SOB sure can read a teleprompter like nobody's business. He's down to that as the only thing he can do to keep track of...
You have to keep in mind that the release mouse has been outlawed for international posting,
I would hope that individual clubs would have rules that would cover common sense safety items such as this. Bet the clubs' insurance carriers would...
Thank you for your explanation Phil Murray. Could you please elaborate as to the reasons a pitch target is preferable to the resin formula. I can...
I saw Al shoot a double SxS on the practice trap at Vandalia around 1982. Looked like a version of the space gun. Noticed him going through quite a...
HB, thanks so much for the article. That shoot was the year I started shooting at age 11. I shot with the majority of the shooters listed and have...
1965, age 11. I received an 870TB as a gift after using a field grade to start.
