This might be a good time and place to share interesting comments overheard while at a Trapshoot. 1. "Everything in the universe has purpose but the invisible intelligence that flows through the minds of those currently disposed to running the state of Illinois and the ATA does indeed remain invisible." Anonymous, thought to have originated in Southern Ohio 2. "If you're talking with me, you should be taking notes." Roger C. 2015 3. "Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They attain stupidity by spending years within the ATA hierarchy. Pittsburgh, 2015
IOver Heard this at the Grand. I wonder why 75% of Trapshooters from OHIO are Self Centered ASSHOLES.
Hey, how did you end up? 99, I CENTERED every one of them except 1 Which one? The last one. You CENTERED 99 and then dropped the last one? Yep What did you do wrong? Called for the target, started to move to it and SHORT SHOT it. Never caught up to it. I don't know why I do that sometimes. Makes ya feel like a real ASSHOLE when you do that, ya know? Yep, done it a few times myself. Not only do you feel stupid after you SHORT SHOT one but then you feel like an ASSHOLE when you have to explain it to anyone that asks. I knew a guy that did that a lot. He never missed just the last one but missed the ones he did because he SHORT SHOT them. He did it so many times the guys were going to give him a name. Doctor, Doctor, ? Hell, I can't remember right now. It was Doctor something. Doctor ASSHOLE? Maybe, that would have fit I guess.
Leftout, Grow up, if you never heard those words before you should not know the nasty meaning to relate them to. You sound like a bleeding heart liberal. All complaints and no substance. And the mod's will not miss a stinky troll. Roger C.
It's funny but the 11th rule of conduct on this site says "Profanity Prohibited". Posters wouldn't surprise me using such words but a "Moderator" I would think would set an example. Forgive me Roger I forgot you are one of the super brains on this site. One of the strengths of any organization is their ability to withstand criticism. Liberals make the rules then decide they don't apply to themselves. Appshooter if you got balls enough why don't you try checking my underwear. Lefty
Leftout If that is the name you want to hide behind. You acknowledge being in the military. You make up crap about the water at the CC. You pretend you cannot handle naughty language and them you write that stuff. Man up leftout or put the big girl panties on. Tell the world who you are. Let them know you hate the site and all that is Ohio. Tell 'em you got the only opinion that matters. (Rule number 6 must have come into play). Love this site! lol
"It seems every time I miss I didn't have the gun pointed in the right direction when I pulled the trigger"
Gosh Flyers maybe I didn't see it until after you posted your shift of whit. App shooter did you camp at CC? Or do you just camp here? If you camped on the west end you would know about the water. Hate Ohio - not hardly - to many connections. You guys just love to make up crap. Where Did I acknowledge being in the military, maybe I was and maybe I wasn't. Lefty
"I used to shoot 1 1/8 but I dropped down to 3/4 because I was breaking too many targets by mistake."
On another site maybe. You seem to whine a lot for being in the military. Don't take it personally, take it as criticism.
What I hear the most right after I shoot is "loss". Inside the clubhouse I hear did you hear they paid $2.1 million for that pole barn?
An All-American was picking his gun up from the rack when a guy said, "that's a pretty bad looking gun compared to those two K guns and that engraved Seitz. I mean the bluing is all worn and the stock could stand a little work." He looked at the guy and said, "this ain't no show gun, this is a working gun."
I run into a lot of people (shooters) who used to shoot quite a bit at the local shoots for the most part ... They are still shooting but gave up on the registered shooting in lieu of just shooting for practice and as a social get together with friends a few times a week ... It really amazes me to see the number of shooters who have picked up on the sporting clay courses but it obviously scratches that so called itch they get when they want to shoot ... The pistol, and rifle ranges have people waiting in line for their turn on the combat course but with the weather being so hot they do not usually hang around for very long ... If you ask them why they gave up on the ATA targets most of them just say they got tired of it and wanted a little change of pace and and that they got tired of waiting all day to shoot 200 targets that they now do in a couple of hours ... Hope it cools off so I can go and get a few practice rounds in and get out of the house for a few hours ... WPT ... (YAC) ...
Michigan Sucks. I hear this most when talking football with Ohio State football fans at shoots. I mean 2014 National Champion Ohio State football fans. Also some Michigan State fans say the same things I've heard. Brad
Did you tell them you don't even shoot at your own NY State Shoot? I saw a lot of New Yorkers at the OH State shoot. Great folks. A bunch stayed at our motel. If you see those guys tell 'em we said hi. Give a shout out to my pal Anthony! I used to go to the NYS shoot. The ATA changed the rules and took the money out of the game. Don't do much traveling now.
Actually saw this written on a men's bathroom stall back in the 80's at the Golden West Grand in Reno " I support Dan Bonillas."
The ATA took the money out of the game and NY won't allow anyone under age 12 to participate. I refuse to take my 8 yo son up there and not let him shoot!
NY shooters have gotten the shaft from New York State for years. It is not the NY State Trapshooters Association fault ! It is the fault of the NY legislators, the ones who pass these stupid laws. I am out of NY State, and damned glad.
I just completed my first year of ATA, and shot at every available target, at the Home Grounds, if that is what you are implying. Thanks for proving my point.
Show me that post. ================= And I cant seem to find your records that match your claims. Maybe I am spelling your name wrong? All this knowledge of the past trends learned in your first year shooting. Wow! Are the shoots in your state as well attended as the shoot in OH you object to? And what 5 shooters are you so jealous of? It does not appear too many NY shooters attended the grand. I cannot find a major shoot outside of NY that was attended more by NY shooters than OH or PA. Why is that? You must know as you have been shooting almost a year now. lol I have all the respect in the world for NY shooters. Your posts maybe not so much. Bashing shooters from other states wont help your attendance.
That's real sweet. Leave your 8 yo son at home (who happens to love Trapshooting with his K-80) or have him sit on the bench while mom and dad shoot. Try and explain that one to a kid while watching his face. No thanks-that takes some real selfish parenting!
Thank you to a new member. Damn auto spell! I'll have to fix it. And thanks for busting my b*~~# too.
ev LOL, LOL, what are you a tweener?: The elite five Ohio shooters, criticize every other shooter for not traveling to the greatest shooting place on earth, yet won't travel to any other place to shoot. I don't object to shoot anywhere. I'm not jealous of anyone. I said this is the first year shooting. How many years does it take to read constant posts by the elite of Ohio to get the gist? lol By the way )btw( is from, like 1999, the kids say HAHA! But alas, you won't get that either.
Sure, any uncaring parent can leave an 8 yo trapshooting son home alone with his dog-we're just not like that. Do we take our son everywhere with us-absolutely-that's why we had him. When the Eastern Zone shoot returns to NY and sub-juniors are not allowed to vie for the All-American points that accompany that shoot-then what? For that very good reason NY sucks!!
Duff You still have not shown a single post where an OH person has said that. Of course you cant. You have a lot of hate for a self proclaimed first year troll that knows almost nothing about trapshooting. You certainly are not much like the NY shooters I have met. Guessing you are grouchy due to terrible shooting. Bad scores? Just guessing. lol
Maybe 1st year shooter can tell us who the elite shooters are he is jealous of. I would like to see those posts also. NY shooters are usually much smarter than that. It does not look like Duff has shot out of his state. Not that it matters.
If anyone has ever seen mr & mrs dawgs son shoot, he is terrific, just like his mother and of course his Dad. He should be allowed to shoot every where. GRETAC
Quotes and comments from trapshoots..... The sport is dying. ATA is not responsive to shooters. Trapshooters do a lot of complaining and whining. Shooting games is the only fun activity. Anyone that shoots singles is only shooting practice rounds. Your handicap is only 20????? You are not a trapshooter if your gun does not break open. PITA is growing, ATA is dying. Our club is going broke. Larry
