j price, Same thing with me, Shooters never were allowed to shoot drunk. Another shooter or club management would see to that. I was always more...

I miss the grandstands at night when the shoot offs were going on, lying in the grass between the hundreds on clay target day and watching the August...

Raising the age to 21 is no answer. The same people (news people, democrats, Liberals) think a minor girl can have an abortion without telling or...

T shot, my opinion for what it is worth, and remember I have shot in 38 states and 4 Canadian Providences, and I have been to Sparta on 2 occasions,...

I think it is too late, the old guard is going fast. The average ATA member today knows nothing of Vandalia, money shooting, 55 yard 3 hole...

If you really want to change the ATA do what I did, quit giving them money and stop shooting ATA. Go to the shoot and visit and shoot practice if...

Good job Larry, and all the other volunteers too. Brad

Don, 70 Thousand fewer ATA members today than 1981, I'd say the vast majority of Registered shooters have already expressed themselves. Throw in the...

19 I started ATA but I had shot clay targets at Cloverdale when I was 9. I didn't shoot much between then and when I stated in 1974 shooting ATA...

Smithy, why don't you post their singles and doubles averages also to be fair? The ATA now throws 40 yard doubles instead of the 50 yard ones they...

Trappermike I don't think I know you but I hope you are sincere in what you say, Winston isn't to blame for anything that I know of but other than...

Larry you hit that nail on the head. Kevin sounds like most of the old time money shooters I've read about or have personally known. If you like to...

Trappermike, you may be in love with Neil Winston but he has undoubtedly done more to destroy ATA shooting than any one man I have known in 44 years...

Larry I like what you are saying, but unless the ATA EC gets their heads out of there asses what is the next level for those kids that like...

As for the free shell argument what number of free shells would be the limit. At the Grand Remington, Winchester, and Federal reps would often times...

Rebel Yell was Jim's drink, I tried to buy a bottle yesterday to pass around at the funeral home for him but couldn't find one. I remember Jim from...

Terry I haven't been to Fla for about 20 years, I figured it out (stopped wondering). Brad

HistoryBuff is always asking me why the delegates don't step in and fix the EC and ATA's problems, as Smithy is showing they are the problem. Yes...

Tim let us know about viewing when you find out. Brad

I think I double posted but you get the idea.

Bushmaster was located in Conn at the time of Sandy Hook and that is where they were produced. They made the R15 frames for Remington so it's the...

The humor is appreciated but it rings way to true, the osta just kicked all the D shooters in the head by cow-towing to a few fossils that are in AA...

All to true and good points too. I also like everything Live Oak said. I'd add also draw for handicap squad and positions like the Grand did when I...

The Flu?

Yes, In fact I gave Merlo a heads up about this at the beginning of the week and he wouldn't print it because he didn't have another source, so he...

California used to have more ATA shooters than Ohio so moving the Grand Closer to them, you would think if we use Smellydogs reasoning, would mean...

Garry, I've shot little skeet, a good bit of sporting and have been hunting since the age of 6 and I shoot 0 pitch on everything if I have a choice....

Schultz is who your thinking of, Klink was the commander. Hogan's Heros' was the show for all the snowflakes who are trying to follow us. I can't...

BIG PAPA, you should never never ever admit you know nothing else, Berlet might read this. Brad

Auto companies never gave the cars to the clubs in the first place oldskt94, the clubs bought them from dealers and shooters entree fees paid for...

I'd be happy to tell you about the money. It was different at every club but the gist of money shooting was this. Let's say you had a car shoot....

T-Shot having a handicap system that only works one way is a failure, the ATA goes on averages when they do reductions and having someone refuse them...
