Hey, not so fast Roger. You're a man of positivity and I'm surprised at you. It just may not be over yet. The media purposely did not make early...

Roger, I've never known personally of an incident where a Delegate was told to keep their mouth shut or how to cast their vote. I will concede it...

Welcome back to a great sport and to the premier forum consisting of many great minds.
You'll know we have a good Executive Committee who truly cares about the sport, the association and their integrity if and when they revisit the 2012...

Thank You Orangeman!
I agree. I'd put the date of the contest between 1895-1900. Just a guess though. I still have not found any of the named shooters. Well, except...
I'm guessing its the PA 4-man team from a gun club in McKean Co., but I have not identified the date, place or competition. I believe the shooter on...
Mr. Terry Jordan, I like seeing your Wall Chart banner on AT.Com. Looks like the one I purchased from you many years ago. The chart that helped me...
How about these old rules from 1910. RULE 9. – LOST TARGET Except in the cases otherwise provided in these rules, the Referee shall declare the...
Mr. Dysinger just gave you some valuable advice. And, you'll find doubles to be a lot more fun and less monotonous than singles.
I believe it is.
That's what many would like everyone to believe. However, there were a few potential locations offered, some viable, some not so much, but it...
According to the Financial Statement (audit), the brokerage account was used as collateral. [ATTACH]
Consider how old-timer shooters handled the problem. In 1916 Horace W. Cadwallader, a Peters Cartridge Co. representative lost sight of his right...
That is exactly how he explained it to me, except it was the Loctite used on the space shuttle tiles. He used it on his Mach One prototype that at...
Dennis Devault was a huge fan of Loctite. Since he used it to mate barrels to the receivers, it seems possible that he secured the ribs with Loctite...
If memory serves me correctly, I believe at one time members could request copies of the ATA's annual financial statement, the one the Delegates get....

Hey Reyper, Some years back, didn't you buy a PFS (and painted it) as a surprise for your son? Or do I have the wrong Rey?
Thank you Trap3, I added it to my Shooter Pics file. I seem to recall seeing his picture before but for some reason I did not have it on file. It...
I had my O/U barrels back bored, choked and barrels bent to shoot about 100% high by Mr. Wilkinson back in the 1990s. He did not stamp the barrels...
Hey Doc, Where did you shoot this 150 target championship in 1970? At first I thought you were talking about the Clay Target Championship at the...

Dear Smithy, I assure you it was the shooter and not the shell that led to Frank Little's achievements and his enshrinement in the Trapshooting...
You can't stop greatness, nor can you expect to make a rule to make a mediocre shooter equal to a top-notcher. Increase the angles and distance....
