Cardinal shot screens picture

I drove by the CC today. All of the poles for the screens are up on the east end. The new road is completed where the screens are being built.

 

If they could just get rid of that woods it would be great.

 

Fantastic pictures Family Guy! Thanks for taking the time to stop by and take photos.

Boy are you ever right about that woods! I think they found some wetland plant species or some strange little wetland critters in there so it became a "no touch" zone. With the addition of the shot screen the woods should only come into play on shoot - off trap 1. Right hand targets off of shoot off trap 1 almost disappear into the woods background. If the shot screen were run along the west side of the woods just a bit that would solve that issue as well. I can't wait to see this entire project complete. 5700 feet of shot screen! Simply amazing!

 

Truly Impressive .. WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

This is Truly Impressive and I hope to see it in person soon.

 

That’s a big undertaking ! I’m hoping to shoot there sometime in the near future.

I have no idea what those poles cost but it's a good thing Gipson didn't find those poles first huh?

 

Odds are it doesn't matter who you are. That is some funny stuff.

 

I talked to Jake today and they were hanging curtains. He said they had about 40 up so far, he thought it would take 500 -550 to do the whole mile (52 traps) Brad

 

Does this guy EVER do anything that is not first class?

 

I have never shot with one of these in front of me , I am ready to try it...

 

Was at practice with SCTP team last night and counted 12 sections completed, 4 panels per section. Moving along pretty good as there were only 3 sections completed last week.

 

I took these pics today, 4/24, before Trap league.

Fantastic pictures! Thanks!

I didn't make it out yesterday myself for my teams practice (wife's birthday), but it looks like they've made it past bank 4 and have reached the bunker. Excellent.

Sure wish curtains could be put in front of the area of trees in front of the shoot-off traps. Sure fix the poor view from trap 1, post 1 and 2.

 

The trees will only be a distraction if you make the shoot offs. No need to worry. Roger C.

 

Cold!

 

The shooters will be getting spoiled with the "FIRST" class facilities having shot curtains to eliminate some of the problems with difficult back grounds ... Where Oh where, when oh when will it end ..? It will really be interesting to see the effect the curtains make on the targets as well as the scores ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

True, but while I did stipulate shoot-offs, that is a practice trap first. Having screens in front of those trees will give the same picture as the rest of the banks. Practice would be more useful if they had the same background. I would think it would only take one more set on the one side of the trees.

 

James the other alternative is do not shoot practice. Do not get in shoot offs or shoot practice. Problem solved
Roger C.

 

Wow, someone seems quite full of themselves.

 

Columbus, I do not think James is full of him self, he seems like a very nice person. You, i can tell you I do think you are full of something, guess what. Roger C.

 

And you would assume I was talking about James.

 

Good job you detected the sarcasm in my quote. Was I spot on with the other observation? Roger C.

 

That's funny. I only signed up to the ATA this year after years of coaching the youth team. Now that both of my son's are shooting I thought it would be nice to shoot the occasional event with them. I'm just making some observations after years of watching and talking with others about the ugly background on practice trap 1. My oldest son Ryan has been in many shoot-offs over the years, and he isn't the only one that complains about the background from that clump of trees.

On the other note, I happen to know Columbus personally and he isn't full of anything. Happens to be a nice guy. Just like the rest of us he has his opinions about things. Ryan is still shooting the XT that his grandfather bought from Columbus 6 years ago.

 

James those trees are a problem, but only if you let them. I refused to shoot on one of them in a shoot off. They said they would put me on the trap in front of the trees and the short yarder I was shooting off with on a trap about 4 fields to my left.
My answer was no way. We will both shoot on the same field. She said OK you will shoot first. The light was not good, I lost 4 from the 27, He lost 8 from the 21. But we had a level playing field.
Columbus came on this site and started out as a shit stirrer. Roger C.

 

Well Coveleskie, when I find a pot of the stuff, just have to get my stick and start stirring. Starts off simple but then the pot just gets bigger and more entertaining.

 

Every man must do what he is good at. Try to stir a little important info in your pot. Roger C.

 

Well, back to the matter at hand; has anyone besides Luke and company shot a round with the new screens in place? A picture, taken from the 27 yd line, was posted on FB and a couple comments were regarding the gap at the bottom, one person said it was "ugly" (so what) and another was that the gap was going to cause some problems.

 

I could see a northerly wind maybe causing a problem if it came under the screen. Looks like it could blow straight at the house.

Seems like a great majority of the pattern would be directed at the top portion of the screen from the 27. I would expect enough of a drop by the time it gets there that it shouldn't be much of a problem.

I'm not on Facebook but did Luke say anything about the sound? Just curious if there is much of an echo, or maybe having that opening at the bottom will alleviate that.

 

More pictures from the CC today.

 

From the 27 and the 16.

 

I was told today that a shooter said the doubles targets were breaking into the sky over the screens. This could very well create some serious problems for shooters. Roger C.

 

I never cared for a solid background and then into the light

 

Hmmm....



You have a mission!

 

Making sure the targets are set by the book. Is that not the job of the state delegate, and the ATA? Roger C.

 

I took this last night standing next to my son at the 16 on practice trap 3. There was a breeze from the NW so a left hand target would get caught and rise above the screen, but only after target was missed.

 

Thanks James, I hope they stay within screens in the kill zone. How far are they down the line with the rest of the project? Roger C.

 

That target appears to be slightly low ...? Camera angle maybe ..? WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

That’s my point of view. I took the picture before apogee more to give an idea of what the orange targets look like against the screen.

Roger, they’ve reached bank 6 at this point. I imagine they’ll be through by the Buckeye Open, if not the Karen’s Cup. They’re even paving the drive along the screen as well.

 

Maybe the paving is where the shot is going to end up. Just a thought on my part.

Ron Burdick

 

Karen's Cup will be shot on banks 1-4, so it's definitely ready for that.

 

Sweep it up with a broom and shovel instead of using all that heavy equipment to get it out of the dirt?

AND, increase the lead recovery percentage from 40% to 90%.

Roger I was told last night that ALL screens are up on all Fields,


GB..................................DLS

 

Doc, See if you can get there when they are shooting. I would like to know if with a 10 ft. target will stay on the screen. I'm sure they will, but you never know how the targets will be set. Roger C.

 

I would be amazed if all screens were truly up on all fields by Sunday night since by Saturday afternoon they hadn't even started beyond bank 7.

 

As I thought, was there for practice with the Cardinal Youth Shooters last night and the screen is down to around bank 8. If the hustle, they could be done by the Karen's Cup next week, but if delayed by impending weather probably by Buckeye.

 

The suppler for the material is the hold up. The screen would be completed but the material for the remaining banks is not on site yet. Bruce

 

Hey Doc, ask that person what the Power Ball numbers are going to be Saturday.

 

I shot practice there today. Liked the screens. Practice went up to $6 a round. Went to the Legacy Bar and Grill for a bite to eat and as they say, "you only get one chance to make a first impression". Won't be going back there. Here's a pic of the screen progress as of this afternoon.

Columbus, Was the service bad? or was the food bad? Roger C.

 

Which part,the Bar or the Grill?

 

Inquiring minds need to know-service, price or food?

 

Don't know about the food, couldn't get seated. All the staff was in the back corner yakking and my wife and I waited and waited and waited at the "hostess will seat you" sign and even though some of them looked right at us we were never acknowledged. There were two people at the bar and two families at the high top tables -no food anywhere, no aromas, nothing. Gave up and drove back to Cbus for dinner. The bar/grill is the left side of the building, the main restaurant area that was there before is now gutted and under construction- don't know what the plans are. This picture from the Legacy Bar and Grill website shows the area in business now. The seating you see is about all that's available. Used to seeing this place packed with shooters and their families, scores on the screen etc.

Sounds like a work in progress. Patience grasshopper!

 

I will try to be there for the Karen's Cup

 

Curious how others have fared shooting with the screens.?. I shot Karen's Cup on bank 1 which was all screened and came in below average. Shot the Buckeye today on bank 11, above average, which may be strange since it was a 'half and half' screen situation. 11A had no screens (score 23), 11B was half screened (score 24), while 11C and 11D the screens are fully completed (scores 24 and 25 respectively).

So how did ya'll do and how do you like the screens? I'm in favor overall.

 

Roger Covelski the screens are on all traps BUT the last Trap on Bank 12, Majority say you see the target Quicker, and Better, one shooter said he had a few go over the Screen, I took a Picture of them off the Porch in front of Jaquas, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, You can hear the shot hit the curtains, the screens seem close, do not know the exact distance from the Trap, My guess is approx. 50 yards, My comment is, They look Great, target scores should go up in all events.

GB.................................DLS

 

Trap 11 had 3 strips of curtain up, takes 4 strips to be complete, they moved the Practice Traps too Bank 12, all the way WEST one Trap the last one had no screens,

The Legacy I was told is NOT managed by Fishburn, we were there Friday, was looking for all the fish you can eat, they said you have to wait until 4:30, so we left, it was 2:30, and found another place up Route 61 a few miles on the Right. The mug of Beer was too big for me, Drank half of it, that was Plenty, mugs were cold but not Frosted from a freezer..The Fish was Talipia, it was good, their Shrimp was was like a rubber tire, could not Chew it, Clams were good, I got the Fish Platter/Plate. Won't go back.

115 yards
According to one of the posts when they first started to put the poles up.

 

Hey Doc, next time just don't order the shrimp

 

My wife and I were there at just after 3. One booth occupied in the restaurant side. First thing we saw was the wet, dirty bar towel on the hostess stand. No hostess. Employees walked by a number of times without saying anything - finally got seated and given a menu - no water - she didn't even ask. Did say she'd try to find someone on the bar side to come over and take care of us. She didn't, and no one came. Counted five employees (including the one who seated us) looking at their phones, BSing in the kitchen area and another came out with a plate of food and sat down to eat. We sat there and looked at the staff run around, looked at the empty tables with dirty dishes still on them and finally left - that's the second time we've tried the place and had the same outcome. Did talk to a young guy as we were leaving (red hair, ratty orange t-shirt) who identified himself as the manager. Told him what happened (both times)and told him were steady customers in the past but would not likely be back. His exact comment was "sorry you feel that way, have a nice day". Don't know who put up the money to redo this place but if they don't get some people on staff with BIG customer service skills - I think it's doomed.

That is correct.

 

If you can see 'em start half the battle is over.

 

Which half? Roger C.

 

First half of course. 2nd. half involves putting shot on the something you can now see.

 

Oloelliedawg, A friend of mine shot there this week. He said when the second bird of doubles got above the screens they were very hard to see. He shot on bank #4. He liked the screens, but said they were going to have to set good doubles by the book to keep this from happening. Roger C.

 

Having watched several events there this week with my sons shooting, the targets were a lot higher on the weekend then that were during the week. Part of that could have been the north wind, but I think part of it is because it seems like the target setters consistently change the height of the targets from the week to the weekend. They seem to always be different. If they're on the low side during the week, they'll be high on the weekend just like this week, or vice versa.
