WPT, also remember the ATA has been using kids to pump up the numbers and we haven't seen a breakdown of contestants since Stuart left. Brad
The EC member who was also the trophy provider is Dead now, you can figure out who it was, but the other EC members who authorised this are still...
Motor Doctor, You mentioned Steubenville. I remember a tri state shoot back in 75 or so that I stood beside the Sheriff a of the county as we...
Man this article was an interesting read. I have a few takes on it. The ATA offered to run the facility and give the state all the money in the...
HistoryBuff is gone for a week or so but he will know what is to be known about your patches, they are very nice. I think you can PM him from this...
Time marches on, week 11 is almost here. The part about hiring someone from the shooting world may be true. I've heard if the place does reopen a...
Karla sent me this in an email so I'm posting it (Ann is) for her like she asked. Brad Hey Brad, I got a phone call today and learned that my sign...
You guys are just mean. Brad
The really sad thing about Jim's story is it has happened over and over for years. The AA points thing is important, remember I was an All American...
Looks like the Louisiana Punkin's squad was having a good time. Lindenwood looks to have a lot of shooters. Nice pictures of all the kids, good to...
Jim I'm asking so please tell. Brad
Thanks HistoryBuff, I'd have loved to met Mrs Topperwein and watched her shoot. I've shot with many woman on my squads over the years, a lot of them...
Dave I'm just feeling nostalgic for the old days when I could get a good internet debate going with some committed (or maybe they've been committed...
Trap Shooting used to be about ability, class, yardage. Age, sex, race, gender meant nothing. Ability was what made a great shooter. How many...
Dave I thought it was minnship8 that was going to kick your butt. He's AWOL too I think. Brad
I've realized that one of my main nemesis has been missing in action for some time now. I did some research and found out that he was banned. I've...
HistoryBuff you know I think the ATA is doomed, and a lot of the reason is just what you describe. I've been very disappointed in my fellow HOF...
I miss the kool aid crowd banter. That's the one downside of being proven right. I miss the arguing and name calling. Please, Please kool aid guys...
I think that one problem is that once you become a VP you automatically stay on to become president of the ATA. Historybuff should be able to tell...
Yes historybuff details please, what year, what did vote say yea or nea? Has the rule ever been used? Don't leave us hanging. Brad
If a tree falls at Sparta ( that's if there was a tree) would any trap shooter hear it? Brad
It looks like bigdon with the shovel, and sure that small lump in the snow has greentitian's name all over it. Hunter44 must have fallen down and...
Since the ATA board as a whole, the delegates, had access to Bob Glatz's report and were in effect warned at another point by a Lawyer about what to...
Dan, I'm glad you got Bob's stuff. He talked to us at the CC the year I was president of the osta. I found all the papers but I'm glad you posted....
I have a lot of that in my files and I'll look for it. May be a few days. Brad
Seitz9010, Questions like you speak may have already been asked, and more than once. The thing about questions sometimes the asker doesn't like the...
Roger I was told that Taylor resigned his x officio position from the EC. Do you or any of the others on here know if that's true? Brad
Historybuff, Would you ask Jim if there is a webcam we could have joe acess so we could see Punkin for ourselves. 2012 was a long time ago. Has...
User 1, everyone knows I'm a betting man, over or under 3 indictments? Best guess please. Brad
I have it from a good source that the head pupaw has sent down some info that will be shared with the unshaven masses soon. Stay on the lookout for...
Gee I heard it's all Ohio's fault, if that is saying what you mean and then doing what you say I guess it is. The EC went 0 for 4 on shooters...
I'm starting to be depressed. I've tried to get some action from the kool aid drinkers the last couple weeks to no avail. I'm putting out a...
After reading Robert Gehl's article I've decided Illinois is fertile ground for a Taylor's led ATA EC. Just how dumb are these people to keep...
That's the same thing I told Ann, it looks like Frank is playing gin. At Holford's shoot you would have many trap All American's and several Skeet...
[ATTACH] Thanks HistoryBuff. I shot at Strausstown once and North End once and a few other clubs in Pa that I can't remember the names of. I'm...
I think the data the ATA used to use was what state the shooter lived in, not what state the targets were shot in. I think grand targets are...
Our message is getting out, I just got a phone call from a source who is sending me a picture of Punkin. It's coming snail mail, less likely to be...
User 1, I don't think anyone has any sway of any kind over Jim Bradford. As long as I've known him he's done pretty much damn near what he wants to....
Rosey is right, a new association doesn't need to be over thought. Go back in trap shooting history and copy what worked when registered shooting...
HistoryBuff, I'm not a csi but I can name the signer for the HOF and so can you. One clue Chairman of Board of Trustees and it sure as hell looks...
Azcotrap, I think you are on the right track. I would start with record keeping, simple rules, and no membership fees. I'd just charge a daily fee...
Rosey, I don't know how much you shot out west but I have shot the state shoots in all of those mid western states that had a state shoot worth...
When I read this thread title I thought Pete Rose was looking for Punkin Flock, she's in a HOF that doesn't exist anyplace but a U-store-it, and...
The Donald has spent 1.9 million so far, Hillary has burned through about 24 million reintroducing herself to the American public. Which one is from...
Never let them see you cry. You'll get bumped to the skeet page. Brad
I'm not a fan, a 410 slug is a low velocity light grain affair. If you are planning it for a small kid go with the twenty. The Winchester sabot...
Paul welcome to double secret probation. Brad
Their Maple Lunch sticks are great, they feel like they weigh about a pound. I ate one everyday when I was there, sometimes two. Brad
I agree with azcotrap it is time for the east to say "the hell with the ata." Ohio and Pa should start there own organization, look at the numbers...
Two of my favorite quotes from this piece. Good stuff jhunts. 1. Routinely draws about 7000 shooters and an equal number of spectators each day....
