Dr. Longshot Day -- February 4th, 2015

In appreciation for everything Dr. Longshot has done and continues to do for the betterment of trapshooting, I would like to honor the Good Doctor by declaring today, Dr. Longshot Day.

If you appreciate the Good Doctor, as I do, please take a moment to show him your appreciation by "Liking" as many of his posts as you can.

Thank You Good Doctor.

 

I absolutely love it. LOL

 

Thank you Don't Ban Me Bro: I will always stand for The ATA Target rules as Designed in the 1960s, they never needed changed, it made an un-even playing field for the first Grand Slam Shooters, they did it on harder targets, plus hand pulled.

 

Well then I guess we need to go back to glass balls because the current targets aren't the same either!!
I guess we also need to get rid of the ribs, adjustable combs, recoil devices and the rest of the improvements that have happened over the years because they ARN'T THE SAME as it was and it creates an un-even playing field for the first Grand Slam Shooters.

So in good faith Dr Longshot you need to return every trophy, award and penny that you have won over your ATA shooting years.

LEAD BY EXAMPLE, JUST LIKE DR KING did in his living years!!

 

Dr. Long shot day? Is the adjustable comb business up in Michigan slow or something?

Dr. Longshot day is a day for celebrating, not a day for working.

 

I'll take that as a yes.

While you're on here, please explain why you don't offer the RAD system.

-Gary

 

A day for the good Doctor, enjoy!

 

He's been reelin' them in over there for years.

-Gary

 

It's all fun and games until some loses an eye.

Or their sense of humor!

I hear ya User 1. I've probably been guilty of that a few times myself. Usually only for people who are clearly askin' for it though.

-Gary

 

Thanks, it's going to take a few minutes to get THAT vision out of my mind.

? What R U Saying?

 

Good luck

 

Yes but it is funny

 

The "funny" thing is when the humor is reversed, some get their panties bunched up and run back to the mental midgets.

 

It is the internet. It is mostly porn and BS.
Someone always has there knickers in a twist.
What do you expect from an Al Gore creation.

I don't know what they did to you on that other board but long as you are happy.

 

Thank you good DR. If you agree with Gary or not I feel it is the involvement that's important. He along with many feel the ATA is and has been going in the wrong direction. With his involvement things stand a chance of change. If it weren't for people like him we still would be under British rule.

 

Whether or not we feel the ATA is going in the wrong direction, typing on the web won't change a thing.
The ATA haters have been spewing for years on other sites with no impact.
Especially when they say the same thing over and over again.
The only way to make change is hard work and money.

Even if you don't agree with someone like Neil Winston
He did the work and spent the money to be in a position to present ideas and maybe make change.
And if you read the ATA minutes he wasn't always successful.

There are talkers and doers.
Every gun club I have belonged to had a bunch of talkers who knew how to fix everything but never did anything.
Talkers always have an excuse "They won't listen"
May they heard you and just don't agree with you.
Talkers never want to run for office or can't get elected.
Talkers eventually are marginalized and spend there time spewing there BS to anyone who will listen.

These are my thoughts
Have a good day
get out and shoot if you can.

 

There are many threads on several sites to voice an opinion on "talkers and doers" ......

So on this thread let me say again ...... if you do it, own it, and take what you bring on yourself .....

And .... everyone should have a good day .... not be an easy target for mental midgets.

 

I broke my 100 straight Handicap targets on genuine 3 hole targets, Using reloaded AA shells, w/Fed 12c1 wad 18 grs Red Dot, Winchester Primers using 1-1/8th #8 chilled shot Springfield, Ohio, from 24.5 yards, July 4th 1970, I broke more than a hundred, because I was so focused I broke several broken targets that I had to shoot over. Nothing bothered me that day, as I was so focused.

This was published in Trap & Field, Dayton Newspapers, Springfield Papers, Columbus Dispatch, and an article in the Linden News.

How many of you Dr.longshot bashers have ever accomplished the same? At any yardage?

Trying to get the ATA Target settings back to where they should be is ( ON MY TO DO LIST ) if that is called bashing the ATA they deserve it. Shooters like Mr. N.W. who supported and encouraged it are a disgrace to the ATA,and contributing to it's demise.

I have this to say N.W. has contributed a lot of information, some right and some wrong,and some misleading, and wanting me to delete a thread where I directly quoted him word for word, where he lied, called me at home, threatened to sue me, & called Lynn Gipson I was told, and had him ask me to delete the thread, I told Mr. Gipson I would not delete the thread, That I spoke the truth on his direct quote, and another instance where he lied about shooting at Tri-State non-registered Calcuttas, and Mr. John Winget whom ran those shoots backed up my story, as N.W. did not even belong to the ATA at that time in the 1970s. N.W. is also known to use wrong info on some of his Graphs and charts, as pointed out using on this site, quoting 1-18thoz pellet counts when actually they were 1 oz loads.

SAAMI shot shell loads are listed very defined, 3 Dram 1-1/8th oz = 1200fps, 3-1/4 dram 1-1/8th oz are 1250fps
SAAMI also lists a 1-1/8th oz 3-1/2 Dram load
May everybody have a happy Dr.longshot Day.

 

Dr Longshot,

With your post above you went from a Dr. King to a Rev Sharpton.

 

Tough to get up much speed all bunched up like that.

Squatty

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink (or think)

 

I had a wonderful Dr. Longshot Day. I hope you all enjoyed time with your families and took the opportunity to reflect on what's great about trapshooting.

User 1 - Who pissed in your Cheerios?

 

No one pissed in my Cheerios, thank you for asking ..... did I piss in yours ??????

 

Squatty did you look at the pressures on those loads? Way more than anything I shoot. I wonder if they are correct, 11,500psi
my reloads are 8500-10,000, most loadings that duplicate factory loads are lower than all these test loads. I find them frankly un-believable, 115x100=11,500 on the lowest loadings. Even on the 2-3/4 Dram 1-1/8th and 1 oz loads. I am glad I am not shooting those shells. Take a look at the Hodgdon basic loading manual at AA duplicate loads for Super Hdcps, Nitro 27 duplicate loads. Pressures are lower than these, almost all the way around.

My 1-1/8th oz 1500fps shells w/longshot are only 10,000psi, I loaded 1,000s of these, my Federal Gold Medal loads 9,000 psi@1500fps
Dr.longshot

 

I did not read it that way, I was thinking the 1st pressure was the std press and the 2nd one was the Max press., and the 3rd would be the Absolute Max pres.
