    What would ATA trapshooting be like if the fastest shells allowed were Winchester AA Reds. What if all that was allowed was a 1200 feet per second shell?

    What would the sport look like?

    I don't think it would be much different at all. 1 1/8 ounce @ 1200 fps, I would think, could do it all. The top shooters will always shine thru to the top.
    Just my opinion.

    1 1/8oz 1145fps would take care of most situations too.

    I was around in 1988 as well as many others who post on here. I don’t remember things being much different.
    The top guns were winning most shoots they attended.
    Some of them are still the top shots today.

    Can't remember his name but the Federal Factory rep won the $100K handicap prize @ a grand offered by the Martins, he used 11/8 Federal papers #8 @ 1145 from the 27

    Wouldn't change a damn thing. Well, might see a few more release triggers.
