I'd give my gun to the Ohio HOF if I was so inclined and they wanted it. Brad
I don't know anything about quiet eye or soft focus but I did play baseball, a catcher mostly, and think what every one is talking about is where to...
I think this needs to be up by the vendor thread. The lack of local support will be what kills Sparta. All you have to do is go to a shopping ,mall...
Do Mike. I got a reduction to the 26 but I had quit shooting registered events before it came in the mail but that would be my yardage if I ever...
Why does everyone worry about making everything equal? Has the Democrats share the wealth mentality infested you all. Hell just admit that some...
At least both these state's still get an ATA delegate. They cancel out Ohio and Pa. Brad
User 1 -- N1H1 should provide us with a chart about this, he was there at that time. I think it was in 98 or 99 that that powers that be removed the...
Bigger than Mississippi I see.
Dave , I have been saying the same thing for years. A handicap system can't work just one way. Everyone complains about the Kentucky sandbaggers....
Go to wider harder targets. No need to spend money on concrete. Shooters aren't shooting handicap as much today because of no money. The new...
I never was the type of shooter that liked to see rib. I'm left eyed dominate and shoot with both eyes open and when I look down on the rib my left...
Back in the day We also did a trick to get a poor man's high rib gun. We would take a lolly pop stick, paint it flat black and stick a bead on it...
Par4 I remember the 1975 Ohio State Shoot well. Back then the Ohio State shoot benefited from being held in Vandalia. A lot of out of state...
The ATA never sent out W2's until Joe Loving became EC member. That's what we get for having an accountant as VP.
I'm not sure what happened with Budweiser but Dr has most of the facts close as we heard it back then. If I ever met Bill Martin I can't remember...
I look flat down the rib and if I were looking at my beads (I never look at them I look out for the target) there would only be one visible, my gun...
I thought I saw that bird ring at Sparta, Illinois when I was at a medium sized trap shoot a few years back. You mean like that Friend?
Roger you can remember the Budweiser money, each state shoot got money for a Budweiser handicap and then those winners got to shoot for more...
Mike J, What would you say the Martin's goals were/are? Prop up Sparta or Promote ATA Trap Shooting? Which have they accomplished? I hope that...
I've been thinking about this subject for several years and I've decided it's time for me to let it fly. Bill Martin has been way more than generous...
WPT I think it's to late to save the ATA. It needs to die the death the EC's started. It was a good run but there are very few on here that ever...
I was told it will take at least 6 months for the company to make them.
The EPA money was from the OHIO EPA not the national. Do you think Illinois EPA has 325 grand lying around for sparta?
Yes a religious metaphor My reference is comparing a god loving person, not a church loving one. I've been surrounded by convenient Christians all...

Seriously this should be a wake up call for clubs to do away with all categories and go to a class and yardage system like trap shooting had in the...
I had a pigeon ring for a few years. Pigeons are dirty, pest ridden birds and you should think of them as rats with wings. They are much harder to...
Time for new ATA categories It one and It two would be my nomination.
You are all still missing the point, back in 86 the options would pay for your entry fee. If you could break a 25 at caps you'd pay for your event....
Home but glad she asked.
N1H1 the CNN of trapshooting.
Is it sucking in or spitting out?
I almost feel bad that I self banned myself from the kool aid boys after the new guys bought it. I kind of miss ole 44. Brad
