I'm still with TS.Com. I do plan on being on both. I'm sure there will be different information on each site.
I have not posted on tsc since the new guys took over last summer. I was too used to the old system and I also didn't like the way tsc was banning posters, I think you need dissenting points of view, not ATA EC's point of view as the only one. Most trap shooters don't shoot registered targets. Moulton Gun Club had 25 plus squads on New Year's day shoot and most of those shooters never saw a ATA bird shot, just meat shooters. Good Luck and thanks for the advertising of Thorn Bottom, still shooting pheasants but haven't shot ATA for 3 years, but have shot some local meat shoots this fall. Brad Dysinger
I'm here to give the new site a try. I like ts.com but who knows, maybe this one will be better in time since it is run by trapshooters instead of vendors.
I got to believe this site will be a wealth of information with a little variation of TS.Com ... This can do no harm and will only make things better for the shooters if they are trap shooters, skeet shooters, or just recreational shooters looking for input and information ... wpt ... (yac) ...
I used to shoot more than a few ATA targets WAY back when a younger Mr. Dysinger was running around with a Big Guy in a Tee shirt that had the shoulder torn out from that 1100 rubbing on it. Katies Wrecking Crew if I remember correctly. Those WERE the days my friend. Most "shooters" on that other site don't have a clue what it was like. And unless they open the angles back up and throw a 50 yard target they never will. The ATA and their changes? Translation: The ATA was losing PAYING customers so they had to do something to either keep them and/or bring in new customers. To them the people that pay the dues and fees ARE customers, not members. Less than 1700 PAYING CUSTOMERS in this years GAH. In what used to be the biggest day of the year in Trap Shooting. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot! Flyersarebest
The ATA has been on a downward spiral since before the move to Sparta, now its just a continueation of the same spiral based on the attendance figures ... wpt ... (yac) ...
At the buddy shoots down southern Ohio we have more than a few of younger shooters starting with their dads, and then branching out on their own, we had one steady lady shooter shooting with her boyfriend for a year or so and they are now married and shooting as a team and they are hard to beat nice couple John and Anita, she likes shooting and breaking those long shoot off targets, Hey guys introduce your wife and girlfriends to the sport.
