The first large shoot I ever attended was the Mid American. I can't remember if that was the year it snowed or another year but the weather wa...
Doc's Brick brings back memories. The grudge match was like Unitas VS Namath in the super bowl. Few believed Doc stood a chance. I remember all...
Family guy I think you need to lighten up on Ross, I've been called everything for years when I was the lone wolf reporting on the BS crowd that...
I think Luke and Jake are Turkey hunting right now so probably not paying much attention to the net. I was down there last month and place was busy...
I can tell you one case in particular that being tall would have been a disadvantage. At the Canadian Championships in 76 or 77 I was tied with a...
When I started shooting at my first couple of grands we didn't even get to pick our post let alone our squad in handicap. You paid your money and...
With single targets set so easy today just about every class at Ohio is won with a 198 and above, and a lot of years a 200. Averages in singles are...
Dick I've advocated more lower classes for ever. Instead of all the categories we should be shooting all classes. Age and sex does not determine...
Dick how many shooters were below 85 average? If you want to add classes the OSTA needs to go lower. Brad
When I started shooting trap in the very early 70's I shot at a Winchester club a bunch, they had skeet fields and I shot some skeet for fun there...
I never wanted mine past straight, I think it matters though more on what your make of trap gun is. Brad
Biggest drawback Illinois is an Anti gun, Hillary-Obama state. Not very friendly to ATA gun owners. Brad
WPT it's true about the Model 12, that what I was shooting when this photo was taken. We have really good small club meat shoots around my house...
I've got to thinking about this and I think 78 might have been the first year that Bill Jaqua leased the club from the Fisher's so this was called...
I was reading the HOF thread and thought I'd post this picture of what we shot for back in the day 7/4/78 at a Jagua's Calcutta. No Ribbons, No AA...
Just for everyone's info Jack bought a hotel elevator this winter for some reason. Brad
ATA shooting and Trapshooting are two distinct animals. I live in NW Ohio and have about 15 trap clubs within an hour drive of my house, of these...
I think a Trumptonian deal was made.
Just being nosey, How Much did he want? Brad
Cloverdale, Ohio had 89 entrees last Sunday for their monthly meat shoot. No ATA, no All american points, oh and they only have 2 trap fields. The...
Hang in there WPT, we old three hole shooters are hard to kill off. You need to stay around to keep the EC on their toes, so listen to the Docs,...
Roger didn't they change from weighing each target to weighing the case? I can't remember if that was fact or rumor. Different weight of the...
I heard they looked and flew just fine. I don't have any other details. I'll have to wait for Merlo I guess to fill in the blanks. Brad
win 101 If you have a specific question about how or why one of us shoot this post or that post for example just ask. I don't do my e-mail or...
I remember how hard Mickling targets were to break, but they were nowhere as hard as the Federal targets they threw at the grand (the real Vandalia...
Kenny and Don, back in the day, when I shot a lot, some years I would be on the men's first all american team but not on the state team because I...
Mandatory Reductions For All. BD
Prayers said. Brad
Well Merlo looks like we may have found why Mr.Chubb was so outspoken. Once again you've scooped the fake news people with some meaty facts. If the...
Dave it looks like a Mechling to me, I loaded and shot a lot of them around here. I live about 20 miles from Lima and all the small clubs shot these...
Don and Joe I've decided, as the promoter of the original Grudge match that was by anyones measurement "HUGE" where we took two internet trap...
I've been enjoying this thread. I'm going to introduce another idea that I threw at the CC last summer right after I found out that Luke had taken...
I'll second the 680 series of Beretta's. I have several and one of them is from 1982 0r 83 what ever year they first hit the US shore. I switched...
I think you've hit the nail flyer. Brad
A man needs to know his limitations so me shooting against Dave for food is out, I would shoot against Paladin for $ though. Brad
I just got off the phone with one of my contacts in the Ohio Government (won't reveal who} they have ties with Jobs Ohio which is the gov economic...
I'm doing great Gary, feel better than I have in years. Brad
Merlo seems to have hit a nerve again, good reporting Merlo. Brad
Doc I thought you shot Kentucky 9'a ....... 4's and 5's mixed.
Dave can you remember what year Fitsgibbon left the Remington plant in Findlay, I think it was the late 90's but not sure. I also wonder if he is...
Sign: "Who Cares?"
Dave I can't remember what year it was but I did suggest to Jack that he buy the remington models from the findley plant after it shut down but I was...
Merlo glad to hear from you again, how was working with the Tump campaign? The SCTP leaving should have been enough to make a few heads roll. Brad
The subject of All American points and Trap Shooting interests me a lot and on that subject I was reading an article by Sean Hawley in the Jan./Feb....
Two years, I remember you opened up right before the Ohio State vs Alabama playoff game. I used to enjoy debating the kool aiders but they seem to...
I don't understand why SCTP shoots their 16's ATA and their doubles and handicaps non ATA. Why not shoot all non ATA and save the kids the daily...
I think it's true, I hope it's true. Brad
NO
I just heard the news that the FBI is reopening the Hillary investigation. Merlo are you and wiki leaks the same people. I can't wait for your next...
WPT good to hear from you, I'm reporting Hillary, the Democrats and Republican elites in this country. By the way this is a text message that I sent...
