    I've heard talk that the ATA is making plans for a zoom grand this year because of the ammo shortage, rising gas prices, and of course COVID 19. The EC said that this will allow them to pass on the savings to the Zoom shooters and only charge 29.95 a hundred for targets.

    This idea, they say, will allow the ATA's Sparta Grand to continue in the Fantastic Direction that it has been going in for all these years since being kicked out of Ohio by Donald Trump and his OSTA followers and voters.

    The current ATA president, safe in Canada, also opined that it was really fortunate that the ATA and the HOF were very very lucky to land in a Democratic state that not only provided the HOF with a rabid anti Trump and anti gun visionary that could be put in charge of the HOF Museum, but a state with a governor that shut down his state thus making this new and improved ZOOM grand possible.

    As both a Life ATA member and a HOF inductee I just want to say Good Job Guys. I always knew you could do it.

    Maybe because of the ammo shortage, this year's "Grand" could be held in basements as a video game event--Biden would be the event mgr--he knows a lot about "basements"

    If mail-in voting is good enough for a presidential election ....... why wouldn't mail-in scores be good enough for the not-so-grand ?????

    Just think what that would do for attendance numbers ..... the 100,000 past, current, living, and now gone shooters could all have mail-in scores and set huge new attendance records ..... and prove the "Fantastic Direction" is here to stay .....

    So if you wanted to cheat you could just turn in a score without actually shooting?

    I know of at least 3 guys that would think,

    What’s the big deal? Been there, done that.

    I forgot to mention in my original post that daily fees will stay at last year's price but you will have to pay a one time zoom shooting fee, somewhere between $1 and $100.

    Don't forget the THOF (cyber)Gate Fee.

    Now that you mention it I also heard of a relocation fee of $25, my guess the Gate Fee is the Pay for View Fee I've been told is being explored.
