    PSSA's fired Director, Skip Klinger has taken his plan for the Northeast Shooting complex to Linn Creek, MO, and in a few months had them up and running. Congratulations Skip, can't wait to get an opportunity to visit your fine shooting complex.

    Miike.....got it. Skip went to Missouri. But what is the plan? It has been close to a year. What progress has been made on that plan?

    They just opened the new Sporting clays course. According to reports it will be open to the public, shortly. Sorry I wasn't more clear in my original post.

    Clear? The clear part is the bitterness you wanted to show. Your post was about Skip being fired. That was clear. Heard that before. He got another job. Ok you made that clear.

    The plan wasnt mentioned. That wasnt the topic. You got the bitterness across. Anything else Skip might want you to post?

    Geesh. I didn’t think Mikes post was that offensive.

    Unbelievable, Skip succeeds elsewhere. I doubt some fools in MO blasted Skip while professing us poor trapshooters shouldn't have to finance a Sporting Clays venture. That dang Skip only wanted to save us poor trapshooters from the opportunity to pay $50/100 trap targets in the near future and all he got was the boot. Heck, PA attendance is down at least 30% in 10 years while the facility is aging and it's benefactors die off. Let's hope all his detractors pony up and save the facility.

    I am guessing Mike dropped by to stir turds in PA cause Skip got fired. Oh boy. It will work. Skip and Mike don’t want you PA shooters getting along.

    There is a laundry list of things Skip did at the ATA as a Delegate. Starting with nothing and ending with nothing. Numb hands from sitting on them.

    I hope MO likes Skip. How long before Skip tells Mike what to say now? Lol

    Johnson, if anyone sounds bitter it's you? Are you afraid Skip might actually succeed in MO? As for Skip telling Mike what to say is laughable! He couldn't care less what's posted on here and isn't even on any Social Media sites.

    As for the PSSA plan, the EC obviously didn't share Skip's vision for Elysburg and has instead chosen to stay focused on Trapshooting as it's future.

    The title says “ Goings on at Linn Creek.”
    Lead sentence “PSSA’s Fired Director”

    We didn’t hear much about Linn Creek’s Sporting Clay Course” until I questioned Mike. The axe to grind isn’t in my hand. No bitterness here. My friend wasn’t fired. Mike’s friend was fired.

    We don’t know much about that Sporting Clays Course. But it was due to the “fired” person. Lol

    Fired? Keep the facts straight. Skip graciously declined the lowball offer the PSSA offered. I know you knew that.

    Missouri's Director in the 90s, was the best director of Any Club I shot at in years, and he lived close by and had a Trap of his own, in his back yard.

    On the 28th there is going to be a Grand Opening of the Sporting Clays course. The course is mainly on the West end past the trap line. Eventually its going to expand to the East as I understand. Skip has the Chamber of Commerce involved I believe and some sponsors. Give it some time as he doesn't officially take over till after October or 2022.

    All this dramatic bullshit from Mike and Skip hasn’t taken over. And won’t until maybe 2022?

    But he was fired? And Mike got that right?

    Maybe Johnson thinks Skip's working for free. Somehow I think Skip is way to smart for that.
